Abstract

One of the greatest challenges of learning English as foreign language is learning new words. The issue is that many EFL students cannot memorize new words when they are introduced with the help of rote and repetition, which can decrease motivation and interest in the process. The given research project will investigate the application of the Word Chain game as a vocabulary learning strategy in classrooms of the Indonesian junior high school. In particular, it will also explore the process of implementing the game by a teacher, and the response of students to the use of this game in classroom activities. The design used in the study was a qualitative case study design, which conducted one English teacher and 30 seventh-grade students in a junior high school in Surabaya, which is a public school. Teacher interviews, student questionnaires and classroom documentation were used to gather data which was analyzed in a thematic manner. The results have shown that the Word Chain game encourages active involvement, advances vocabulary memory and motivates students. These findings add value to the body of game-based learning research since they demonstrate that even low-tech traditional games can be useful in the EFL classroom to develop more interactive and cooperative learning activities in vocabulary.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reflection table in the book Wonderful Insight English class VII published by Erlangga in 2023 based on the perspective of Wilhelm Wundt's structuralism psychology. The reflection table contains five main statements, namely Now I know about, I wonder about, It is confirmed that, My misconception so far was that, and I have learnt about, which are designed to help students evaluate their learning experiences. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a document analysis approach, and utilizes the concept of introspection and elements of consciousness in Wundt's theory of structuralism. The results of the analysis showed that each statement of reflection represented a different stage of consciousness. Now I know about marking the emergence of new knowledge, I wonder about reflecting curiosity and further thinking process, It is confirmed that it shows the strengthening of the understanding that has been had, My misconception so far was that it reveals awareness of misconceptions, while I have learnt about affirming the final result of learning. These findings confirm that the reflection table in the book has facilitated the process of student introspection, while strengthening learning awareness in line with the principles of structuralism psychology Wilhelm Wundt. Thus, reflection is an important instrument in building students' cognitive awareness in 21st century learning.
