Abstract

Vocabulary is a fundamental aspect of language proficiency, serving as a critical foundation for communication, comprehension, and academic success. However, many vocational high school students face challenges in mastering English vocabulary due to teaching methods that often overlook individual differences in learning needs and abilities. This study explores the implementation of the "Learning Vocabulary" program, designed as part of a teaching assistance initiative at SMKN 3 Parepare, to improve students' vocabulary mastery through personalized and game-based learning methods.The program integrates weekly vocabulary activities involving nouns, adverbs, verbs, and adjectives, utilizing interactive games such as Word Guessing Game, Memory Match, Scrabble, and Role-Playing. These methods aim to foster student motivation and active engagement while addressing individual needs. Data were collected through vocabulary tests, observations, and interviews, and analyzed descriptively.The results reveal significant improvements in students' vocabulary mastery and motivation, highlighting the effectiveness of games-based learning in creating a fun and interactive learning environment. Challenges, including initial resistance to new methods, were addressed through consistent implementation and student adaptation. This study concludes that the "Learning Vocabulary" program, with its focus on individualized and engaging activities, is an effective model for enhancing vocabulary learning in vocational schools.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan metode pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris guna meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara (speaking) siswa di UPT SMAN 4 Sidrap. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada rendahnya keberanian dan keterampilan siswa dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris secara lisan dalam proses pembelajaran. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah pendekatan pembelajaran komunikatif dengan menerapkan berbagai strategi seperti diskusi kelompok, tanya jawab, role play, dan penggunaan media pembelajaran sederhana yang menarik. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk praktik mengajar langsung kepada siswa kelas X dan XII selama pelaksanaan Program Pengenalan Lapangan Persekolahan (PLP) II. Hasil dari penerapan metode ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan keaktifan siswa, kepercayaan diri dalam berbicara Bahasa Inggris, serta peningkatan kemampuan mengungkapkan ide secara lisan. Selain itu, suasana kelas menjadi lebih interaktif dan menyenangkan. Dengan demikian, pengembangan metode pembelajaran yang variatif dan komunikatif terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa. Diharapkan metode ini dapat diterapkan secara berkelanjutan oleh guru untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di sekolah.

This study aims to examine the improvement of students’ writing skills through the picture-based dictation method and to explore students’ responses to this method. The main issue addressed is students’ difficulties in composing descriptive texts. This study employs a quantitative approach with an experimental design applied to eighth-grade students, A class. aThe results indicate a significant improvement in students’ writing skills, with an average score increase of 18.78 (from 69.22 to 88.00). Based on the Paired Sample T-test, the calculated t-value (6.302) is greater than the critical t-value (2.056), indicating that this method significantly improves students’ writing in terms of content, grammar, vocabulary, and organization. Students’ responses to this method were highly positive, with an acceptance rate of 96.34%. The integration of audio and visual elements proved to facilitate students in generating ideas and boost their confidence in writing English. It can be concluded that the picture-based dictation method is an effective creative approach to improving students’ learning outcomes and motivation.
