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 multiplechoice 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
