Abstract

The compositional skills are analyzed to determine whether college students have improved their writing ability after the two years additional in the senior high school curriculum. This study examines the errors committed by first-year engineering students. There were 90 student respondents written outputs collected and subjected to Grammarly software. The researchers analyzed the data using the Scheffe test, comparing the difference between clarity, engagement, and delivery. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to test whether there is a significant difference among other variables. Findings revealed that clarity is the most common error committed by the student-respondents. The errors committed between male and female respondents do not show a difference. The K-12 graduates’ compositional errors do not differ significantly from that in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) passers or the old basic education curriculum graduates. It is in delivery that students vary. This finding implies that college students' compositional skills still need strengthening. Instructors are encouraged to provide comprehensive activities and writing exercises to both genders, regardless of their curriculum. It is recommended that University language instructors identify specific interventions to help students struggling with writing. Therefore, providing enough written opportunities and practices is vital to make college students enhance their compositional skills.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the speaking skills of third grade students of a primary school in Central Java, Indonesia using fairy tales as media. Based on the results of observations, it was found that the increase in speaking skills in the third-grade Indonesian material in a primary school in Central Java, Indonesia  was relatively low. This is indicated by the achievement of student assessment results that have not been completed or have not reached the KKM (Maximum Completeness Criteria) which is 78. The percentage of speaking skill scores of 13 students, 6 students (46%) who completed or passed the KKM while 7 students (54%) did not complete or pass the KKM. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). Classroom Action Research is the result of the development of action research. Action research itself was developed with the aim of finding solutions to problems in the classroom. The result of this research showed that prior to the implementation only six students (46%) completed the KKM. In the first cycle it increased to eight students (69%). Then there was an increase from cycle I to cycle II resulting to eleven students (84%) who completed the KKM. Therefore, it can be concluded that storytelling media in Indonesian language learning is able to improve the speaking skills of third grade elementary school students.
