Abstract

This research aims to prove whether the scanning technique is effective in teaching reading comprehension to students. This research used a pre-experimental research design and took one class, 9.1, as the sample. The analysis showed that the scanning technique greatly contributed to students' comprehension of reading advertisement texts. This can be seen from the increase in students' scores in the pre-test and post-test. The average score in the pre-test was 58.52 and increased to 74.07 in the post-test. Then, the data from both tests were analyzed using the significance parameter, and the results showed that the sig. (2-tailed) was 0.00, which means the sig. value (2-tailed) 0.05. Following the testing criteria, the results showed a significant increase in students' achievement in reading comprehension by using the scanning technique before and after the pre-test and post-test were conducted. This means that the scanning technique is effective and can be applied in grade nine of SMP Negeri 9 Tarakan to teach students reading comprehension.

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to analyze translation errors and difficulties based on the implementation methods used by the students. This research applied a type of qualitative research with a case study model. The sample of the research consisted of six interviewees, consisting of three students from class Al and three others from class A2 of the sixth semester at the Department of English Education, Borneo University Tarakan. The instruments were the interview guide and documentation (students' academic reports). In the process of analyzing the translation, the researcher used the translation method based on Newmark's theory. The results showed that the students only used two methods to translate the text the word-for-word translation method and the free translation method. The research results indicated that the students who used the free translation method produced different translation results due to their creativity and understanding of similar contexts. Students also had difficulty with the use of free translation in determining the correct grammar and context for the sentence. On the contrary, the users of the word-for-word translation method have similar translation results among students who refer to the literal word translation method, most of them also have translation results that are out of the context of the sentence in terms of the literal meaning of the source language to the target language. Students also expressed difficulties with word-for-word translation, with students struggling to find the context of the sentence and the correct use of grammar for their translations.

Abstract

This paper aims to improve students' listening comprehension by implementing a structured instructional program that emphasizes three critical elements: Listening for Gist, Inferring Meaning, and Detecting Signposts. The primary goal is to identify educational strategies that are effective and can significantly enhance students' academic performance and listening abilities. The study addresses a significant gap in previous research by offering a comprehensive framework that integrates multiple aspects of listening comprehension, thereby contributing to the existing literature. This framework often isolates these skills. The program aims to enhance students' listening scores and cultivate a more profound comprehension of spoken language by implementing a targeted approach. The research utilizes a classroom action research design involving a cohort of 40 students who participated in three distinct instruction cycles. Each cycle focused on A specific listening component, which involved using a combination of active listening techniques, contextual exercises, and signpost identification activities. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the instructional strategies and the progression of the students, pre-and post-test assessments were implemented. In all three cycles, the results show substantial improvements, with average scores increasing from 60 to 75 in Listening for Gist, 65 to 82 in Inferring Meaning, and 70 to 88 in Detecting Signposts. These results indicate that the targeted interventions were effective in improving students' listening skills, as numerous students demonstrated a significant improvement in their ability to understand spoken texts. This research has implications for both educational practice and future research. The results emphasize the significance of a multifaceted approach to listening instruction, which motivates educators to implement comparable frameworks in their instruction. Furthermore, additional research could investigate the long-term implications of these instructional strategies on listening proficiency and their generalisability in various educational settings.

This research showed a significant difference between students taught using the seesaw class application and those taught using conventional methods in teaching speaking. As a result, the hypothesis test determined that the significant factor was smaller than 0.05, and the resulting t-test (2.367) was more effective than the t-table (2.045).

Abstract

This research investigated the reading comprehension difficulties and the factors that contributed to reading difficulties faced by second-semester students in the English Department at Borneo Tarakan University. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, the research integrated quantitative data from a TOEFL reading comprehension test and qualitative insights from interviews with selected students. The TOEFL test results revealed that a significant proportion of students struggled with basic reading comprehension, with 45.71% failing to meet the A2 level of the CEFR. Specifically, students found "finding definitions from structural clues" to be the most difficult skill, while "recognizing the organization of ideas" was the easiest. The qualitative phase explored the factors contributing to these difficulties. Students cited vocabulary limitations, concentration issues, and varying levels of motivation as key internal challenges, while external factors included teaching methods, background knowledge, and environmental support. The findings underscored the need for targeted interventions to address these diverse challenges, emphasizing the importance of a supportive learning environment and effective teaching strategies in enhancing reading comprehension skills among students.

Abstract

 This study aimed to investigate the significance of effects of mind mapping on student’s writing abilities. This study employed a quasi-experimental design. The research sample consists of two classes selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected using writing tests administered during pretest and posttest to measure students’ writing abilities. The results indicated that the mean difference in the control class is higher than that in the experimental class. This is because the use of mind mapping is most effective when used with actively participating students. In contrast, in this study, students in the experimental class were less active during the learning process. On the other hand, in the control class, students actively played online an online game called Roblox. The Roblox game helped students expand their English vocabulary, which potentially aided their writing. From this study, it can be concluded that mind mapping is still effective in helping students improve their writing skills, although it was not maximized in this context. The results would be more significant if the students were actively engaged in the learning process.
