Abstract

Teaching English as a foreign language can be said to transform the best knowledge of acquired language from the teacher to the students. This study investigates the transformative impact of using flashcards in English language learning at SDN Potrobangsan 3, under the guidance of an English teacher in Magelang. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection by interviewing an English teacher at SDN Potrobangsan 3. The innovative use of flashcards triggers students' enthusiasm for English learning activities. Using clear and engaging visual aids, these flashcards improve various aspects of vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and oral communication skills. Flashcards transform passive listeners into active participants in decoding language. In addition to improving listening skills, flashcards act as a confidence booster in verbal communication. The English teacher becomes a stage where each flashcard fosters engagement, participation, and a passion for learning. The genuine enthusiasm of the students, coupled with the passion of the teacher, weaves a creative and meaningful teaching and learning activity at SDN Potrobangsan 3.

Abstract

English Language has many unique properties among which are words; the most tangible elements of a language. Morphology has an impact on Language learners’ ability to both listen and speak efficiently in English. Indeed, the most serious problems of teaching English have to do with the quality of the teachers available for teaching the language as nearly all such teachers are L2 speakers. The paper aims to broaden the scope and knowledge of students and their teachers on word use and word formation through paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations. Accordingly, the possibility of effecting appreciable improvement in the quality of the English spoken in the country as a whole would appear very remote if the study of words and their relationships continue to be neglected in schools. The paper recommends the training of teachers in Contractive Linguistics who are unable to understand and consequently devise effective pedagogical strategies for combating the mostly mother-tongue-induced kinds of learners' errors that recur in students' written and oral performances in the language.

Abstract

In the world of language development and academic achievement, the relationship between vocabulary mastery and writing power is critical. Recognizing the tremendous impact of students' lexical command on their ability to compose descriptive texts is critical for educators seeking to improve language teaching. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relationship between students' English vocabulary mastery and their ability to write descriptive texts at SMP PGRI Pedamaran. This inquiry provides useful insights into the underlying aspects that support excellent English writing. Utilizing a purposive sampling strategy, three classes comprising 72 students were chosen as the sample group. Data collecting included delivering multiple-choice vocabulary exams as well as essay-based writing tests. The Pearson Product Moment correlation approach was utilized to conduct further study. The findings show a substantial relationship between students' English vocabulary ability and their ability for descriptive writing at SMP PGRI Pedamaran. The estimated correlation coefficient (r) of 0.26 was more than the crucial value (r-table) of 0.23 at a significance level (p) of less than 0.05, indicating a weak correlation. This emphasizes the importance of vocabulary in generating descriptive texts, as well as its significance in language proficiency. As a result, vocabulary mastery emerges as a critical determinant in students' ability to successfully explain descriptive narratives, emphasizing its intrinsic value in the writing process.

Abstract

This research examined the teachers’ difficulties in implementing TPR to teach English to students with impaired hearing at SLB Negeri 1 Makassar. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Research evidence shows that TPR, as a gesture and revoicing strategy involving sign language, works for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and helps teach more vocabulary in terms of visual prompts. However, several challenges emerged, such as restricted words used by students, the necessity to explain repeatedly, and other barriers to learning, leading to extensive instructional challenges. All these challenges take extra time and commitment from the teachers to ensure that the student is given the required learning intervention. Thus, though parental assistance, pictures, and natural objects may be used to support the material, the paper determines that TPR alone lacks effectiveness in overcoming all difficulties.
