Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of the Suggestopedia method on the narrative writing ability of class X students at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Falah Airmolek. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. Two classes were selected as research samples: class X.1 as the experimental group and class X.2 as the control group, each consisting of 28 students. Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test to measure their narrative writing ability before and after the treatment. The experimental class was taught using the Suggestopedia method, which incorporates elements such as relaxation, music, positive suggestion, and interactive storytelling. Meanwhile, the control class received conventional teaching without the use of Suggestopedia techniques. Students’ writing performance was assessed based on five aspects: content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. In conclusion, the Suggestopedia method positively and significantly influences students’ writing performance, helping them achieve better outcomes in narrative   writing tasks. Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers adopt this method as an alternative strategy to improve students’ motivation, reduce anxiety, and enhance their narrative writing skills

Abstract

Reading motivation among Generation Z students, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, has become a significant concern in secondary education. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to low motivation in reading English texts among high school students in Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu and explore effective strategies to enhance their engagement. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys, interviews, and classroom observations with 150 students and 10 English teachers from SMA, SMK, and MA schools. The findings indicate that students' low reading motivation stems from digital distractions, lack of relevant reading materials, vocabulary difficulties, and insufficient external support from teachers and parents. The study also highlights that integrating digital reading platforms, gamification, personalized content, and teacher-student interactions can significantly improve reading engagement. The results align with previous research, emphasizing the importance of adapting instructional strategies to students' learning preferences. This study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers in designing effective interventions to foster reading motivation.

Abstract

Reading motivation among Generation Z students in rural Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms remains critically low due to digital distractions, outdated materials, and limited home support. While prior studies highlight the benefits of digital engagement and gamification, little is known about how these strategies function in under-resourced, rural settings. This study employed a mixed-methods design using a convergent parallel approach. Quantitative data were collected from 150 senior high school students across SMA, SMK, and MA institutions in Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu, using a questionnaire adapted from the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ). Qualitative data were obtained through interviews and focus group discussions with 10 teachers and 10 students. Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were integrated to identify motivational barriers and context-appropriate strategies. Findings revealed that digital distractions, vocabulary difficulties, lack of family encouragement, and exam-oriented instruction were key factors undermining reading motivation. Only 27% of students reported experiencing interactive or digital reading activities in class. Students expressed preference for digital content but struggled with comprehension due to limited vocabulary and irrelevant materials. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory and Expectancy-Value Theory, the study suggests that increasing students’ autonomy, competence, and task value—through gamified learning, contextualized materials, and family engagement—can significantly boost motivation. These insights offer actionable strategies for teachers and policymakers to revitalize reading culture in rural EFL settings.
