Abstract

This research investigates students’ perspectives on the use of picture strategy in learning descriptive texts at SMA Santo Petrus Medan, Medan. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design, involving 34 students from class XI-B as the participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires to explore students’ perceptions, experiences, and attitudes toward the use of pictures as learning media. The purpose of this study was to identify the benefits of picture strategy in enhancing students’ understanding and creativity in writing descriptive texts and to determine how students perceive its effectiveness in their learning process. The cognitive domain showed the highest percentage (62.50%), indicating that pictures effectively supported students’ comprehension, imagination, and vocabulary enrichment. The affective domain (20.83%) reflected an increase in students’ motivation, confidence, and interest in learning. Students stated that pictures made learning “more fun, less boring,” and helped them to express ideas with greater enthusiasm. The psychomotor domain (16.67%) demonstrated improvement in students’ writing performance, particularly in organizing ideas and maintaining coherence in their descriptive texts. In conclusion, the picture strategy proved to be an effective and motivating pedagogical tool that enhanced students’ cognitive understanding, emotional engagement, and technical writing skills in descriptive text learning

Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, documents analysis and interviews involving two EFL teachers actively involved in EFL teaching and twenty students in this course, to explore the complexities and nuances of integrating multicultural education. The findings reveal that teachers’ awareness, understanding and strategy in integrating multicultural education in language teaching improves students' engagement, promotion of critical thinking and linguistic proficiency of appreciating and thriving in a diverse world. However, challenges such as the need for teacher training, culturally responsive teaching materials to balance with standardized curriculum requirements, students’ limited intercultural exposure that may lead to potential resistance or discomfort during discussions of culturally sensitive topics, and institutional support in enhancing multicultural education in EFL classrooms.
