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

Education policy has become a prominent site of public discourse in Indonesia, particularly in relation to poverty reduction and social inequality. This study investigates the discursive construction of President Prabowo Subianto’s People’s Schools (Sekolah Rakyat) policy as represented in the Compas.id news article “Prabowo Inaugurates 166 People’s Schools. How is Their Education Managed?” published in January 2026. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design within a critical paradigm, the research employs Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis framework, encompassing textual features, discursive practices, and socio-cultural contexts. The analysis reveals that the news discourse predominantly represents the state as a moral and authoritative agent committed to social justice and national development, while framing People’s Schools as a humanitarian solution to structural poverty. Linguistic choices and narrative strategies tend to legitimize government authority and foreground benevolent intentions, whereas critical issues related to legal status and institutional integration within the National Education System receive limited emphasis. This research contributes to critical media and education policy studies by highlighting the role of news discourse in shaping public understanding of state-led educational reforms in Indonesia.
