Abstract

Writing is a crucial yet challenging skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Many Indonesian students experience difficulties in organizing ideas, applying correct tenses, and producing coherent paragraphs, particularly in writing recount texts. This study aimed to examine the effect of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on ninth-grade students’ ability to write recount texts at SMP Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. The research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest model involving 31 students. A writing test was administered as the instrument, assessing five aspects: content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics by comparing mean scores from the pre-test and post-test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ writing performance, with the mean score increasing from 63.0 to 79.0, representing a 16-point (25.4%) gain. Notable improvement occurred in content and organization, indicating clearer idea development and better text structure. The study concludes that Project-Based Learning effectively enhances students’ engagement, creativity, and writing competence in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

One of the critical skills that one must have when learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the junior high school level is writing descriptive texts. Nevertheless, it is still observed that a significant number of seventh-grade students have problems with the development and structuring of ideas in a coherent way when composing descriptive texts. The research was intended to examine how the clustering technique influences the writing skills of students in the descriptive texts. The study adopted a quantitative methodology, and it was designed as a quasi-experimental one. The sample was all the students of SMP Swasta Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar in the seventh grade in the 2025/2026 academic year (two classes were used as a sample). The experimental group was given as Class VII-C (30 students) which was taught through clustering technique and Class VII-D(30 students) as the control group which was taught through a conventional teaching technique. The items were pre-tested and post-tested and a t-test was conducted to analyze the data. The findings indicated that the experimental group improved significantly, and the mean score rose to 80.10 compared to 63.73, whereas the mean score increased to 71.53 compared to 39.06 in the control group. The t-value (4.86) was above the t -table value (1.665) at the 0.05 level of significance, which meant that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The results of these studies show that the clustering method is useful in increasing the success of junior high school students in writing descriptive texts in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of internalizing environmental care character values ​​in shaping students' clean behavior at the UPTD of SMP Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. The background of this study is based on the low consistency of clean behavior among students, even though the school has implemented various cleanliness programs. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of observation and documentation carried out from August to December 2025. Data analysis through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the internalization of environmental care character values ​​takes place through three stages, namely value transformation through the delivery of moral messages and environmental literacy, value transactions through habituation activities such as daily duty, Clean Friday, and the LISA (See Trash Pick Up) movement, and transinternalization which is marked by the formation of students' clean behavior voluntarily without coercion. The success of value internalization is influenced by teacher role models, consistent habituation, and a school culture that supports clean behavior.
