Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) method combined with puzzle media in the English learning process of the Teman Belajar tutoring program located in Bandung Village, Diwek Subdistrict, Jombang Regency. Initiated by students of Universitas Hasyim Asy’ari, this program specifically targets elementary school students (SD/MI) in rural areas to address limitations in traditional English instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved observation, interviews, and documentation to examine learning dynamics and student responses. The TGT method was applied through structured group activities that promoted cooperation, discussion, and tournament-style learning. Puzzle-based media were used to reinforce vocabulary and sentence construction in a visual and kinesthetic manner. Findings show that the integration of TGT and puzzle media significantly increased student motivation, participation, and English comprehension. Students became more engaged and confident, especially during game-based sessions that involved healthy competition and teamwork. Tutors observed notable improvements in vocabulary recall, pronunciation, and willingness to speak in English. The research concludes that the TGT method and puzzle media are effective and adaptable strategies for early English education in underserved areas. This study provides a model for community-based educational interventions that integrate collaborative and interactive learning to address foundational learning gaps.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving the journalistic writing skills of students at SMAN 2 Jombang. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study involved 50 students who were members of the school's journalism extracurricular organization. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through an analytic rubric designed to assess students' journalistic writing and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results revealed that the mean pre-test score was 21.90, while the mean post-test score was 20.82. The hypothesis testing yielded a p-value of 0.250 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no statistically significant difference between students' journalistic writing performance before and after the AI-assisted writing intervention. These findings suggest that, within the context of this study, AI did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect on improving the quality of students' journalistic writing. The results imply that the educational benefits of AI depend not only on access to the technology but also on longer intervention periods, structured instructional strategies, and appropriate pedagogical guidance to support the development of journalistic competence
