Abstract

This classroom action research investigated the effectiveness of the Picture and Word Matching Technique in enhancing the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar. The study involved 30 students of Class VII-5 and was conducted in two cycles following the stages of planning aniani4d, action, observation, and reflection.

The mean score improved from 60.00 in the pre-test to 73.33 in Cycle I and reached 86.00 in Cycle II. The percentage of students achieving the minimum mastery criterion (75) rose from 20% to 90%. Qualitative findings indicated higher student participation, stronger motivation, and more accurate vocabulary use during learning activities. The combination of visual support and word recognition tasks helped students recall and apply new vocabulary more effectively. Overall, the Picture and Word Matching Technique proved to be an effective approach for improving students' vocabulary mastery in descriptive text learning.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the types and factors of grammatical errors in descriptive texts written by seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar. This research used a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected from descriptive texts written by 30 students and analyzed using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy by Dulay et al. and the theory of error factors by Ellis. The findings showed that 105 grammatical errors were identified. Misformation was the most dominant error type (60%), followed by omission (33.3%) and addition (6.7%), while misordering was not found. In addition, intralingual transfer was the dominant contributing factor (67.6%), especially incomplete application of rules. These findings indicate that students’ grammatical errors were mainly caused by incomplete mastery of English grammar and the influence of their first language, Bahasa Indonesia.
