Abstract

General Background: Vocabulary is essential in mastering English, especially at the elementary level, where it forms the basis for communication. Specific Background: However, Indonesian fifth-grade students often struggle with vocabulary acquisition due to uninspired and rote-based learning methods, especially in rural schools. Knowledge Gap: While gamified applications like the English Vocabulary Application (EVA) have shown promise in urban secondary contexts, their impact on rural elementary students remains underexplored. Aims: This quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of EVA in enhancing vocabulary mastery among fifth graders at SD Negeri 10 Jarai. Results: The experimental group using EVA significantly improved from a pre-test mean of 54 to a post-test mean of 85, surpassing the control group's improvement, which began at a higher baseline. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences favoring the experimental group (t-obtained = 10.5860; p < 0.05), with a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.63). Novelty: This study uniquely applies a gamified mobile application in a rural elementary setting using a quasi-experimental design. Implications: Findings support the integration of mobile-based learning tools like EVA to boost engagement and consistency in vocabulary learning in underserved educational environments.Highlight : Interactive Strategies: The study applied games and contextual learning to enhance vocabulary retention. Improved Outcomes: Students showed higher test scores and increased engagement after the intervention. Early-Level Focus: Emphasizes the importance of innovative methods for vocabulary development in primary education.

Abstract

Background (General & Specific): Reading is an important skill in English learning that is often challenging for students, especially in understanding descriptive texts. Knowledge Gap: However, the effectiveness of learning strategies such as the SQ3R method in the context of secondary school students' reading comprehension remains under-researched empirically. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) method in improving reading comprehension of grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Pajar Bulan. Methods & Results: Using a quasi-experimental design, two groups of students were compared: an experimental group that received instruction with the SQ3R method and a control group with the conventional method. Results showed a significant increase in the experimental group's reading comprehension score (mean 67.13) over the control group (mean 44.55), based on paired and independent t-tests. Novelty: This study shows that SQ3R effectively strengthens students' ability to summarize text content, find specific information, and understand vocabulary. Implications: The findings indicate that the integration of SQ3R strategy in reading instruction can be an effective pedagogical approach to improve students' reading comprehension in an active and structured manner.Highlights: Enhances critical reading through structured stages (Survey to Review). Demonstrates significant improvement in students' test scores. Supports vocabulary and detail identification in descriptive texts.
