Abstract

This community service initiative was undertaken with the express purpose of enhancing the comprehension of the Simple Present Tense among a cohort of Grade 7 students enrolled at SMP Swasta GKPS 13 Sibarou. The project directly confronted the prevalent grammatical hurdles students often encounter when endeavoring to construct grammatically sound sentences using the present tense. The pedagogical approach adopted for this endeavor was classroom-based instruction, meticulously designed around the principles of contextual learning. Data for this study was meticulously gathered from 20 Grade 7 students, employing a multifaceted collection strategy that included direct observation, the analysis of worksheets, and the administration of comprehensive written tests. The entire implementation process was systematically organized into three distinct phases: the preparation phase, which involved the meticulous design of instructional materials; the implementation phase, encompassing the actual delivery of learning activities; and the evaluation phase, characterized by the administration of post-tests and the collection of valuable feedback. The compelling outcomes of this project demonstrated a profound improvement: a remarkable 100% grammar accuracy, an encouraging 80% vocabulary usage, and an outstanding 100% sentence structure accuracy. These compelling results strongly indicate that contextual methods are remarkably effective in bolstering students’ grammatical proficiency. Consequently, the conclusion advocates for the systematic integration of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) into routine instructional practices to foster superior learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research investigates how effective the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method is at improving students’ understanding of reading through narrative texts in SMP GKPS 13 Sibarou. The study was motivated by the finding that numerous eighth-grade students struggled with grasping text organization and main concepts in their reading materials. To tackle this challenge, the teacher adopted PBL techniques by offering students real-world problems related to narrative text analysis, which they addressed collectively through reading aloud, discussions, and presentations. The research included 14 students who were paired up, and it utilized worksheets, observation forms, reading comprehension assessments, and documentation as tools. Activities were crafted to encourage students to recognize the organization of narrative texts, apply past tense verbs, and derive meaning through guided inquiry. The reading aloud method aided learners in enhancing their pronunciation, fluency, and understanding of the texts. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' narrative text comprehension, along with heightened confidence, involvement, and critical thinking skills. The incorporation of PBL encouraged teamwork and a more profound engagement with the content. This method is advantageous for English educators looking to develop meaningful, student-focused learning experiences.

Abstract

This research examines variations in language style and the application of formal and informal registers in social media communication, with a particular emphasis on YouTube podcast content featuring public figures within the young adult demographic. The study centers on a widely discussed viral case involving Livy Renata, Vilmei, and Willie, which generated controversy as a result of contrasting interpretations of informal language use in addressing private matters in a public digital space. Adopting a qualitative descriptive methodology, this study applies a sociolinguistic discourse analysis approach. Data were collected from YouTube video transcriptions, relevant conversational excerpts, and the broader social context surrounding the conflict. The results reveal that the prevalent use of informal registers including slang expressions, Indonesian-English code-switching, and relaxed conversational patterns played a significant role in creating misunderstandings and eliciting emotional responses from the individuals involved. Furthermore, a noticeable shift toward a more formal and reflective register emerged when the issue was addressed in a different podcast setting. Overall, the findings highlight that register selection in social media discourse significantly influences public interpretation and may intensify social conflict, especially among young adults.
