Abstract

The Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) cooperative learning approach aimed to improve student participation and involvement during collaborative assignments. The impact of TSTS on the reading comprehension of tenth-grade students at SMA Yos Sudarso Metro was examined in this study. Instruments for the pre-test and post-test were used in a quantitative quasi-experimental approach. Thirty-five students from the experimental class (Pratama 1) and thirty-five students from the control class (Pratama 3) made up the sample, which was selected using cluster random sampling from the population of 137 students. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. The results revealed that the experimental class's pre-test mean score was 45.29 (SD = 9.339), while the control class's was 57.97 (SD = 18.883). Then, the control class scored 71.17 (SD = 17.431) on the post-test, whereas the experimental class scored 69.69 (SD = 13.955). A significant value of 0.000 was identified through hypothesis testing, suggesting that TSTS influenced students' reading comprehension. Nevertheless, the second hypothesis provided a significance value of 0.695, indicating that there was no significant distinction between TSTS and conventional teaching. Overall, the study found that while TSTS improved reading comprehension, it did not significantly improve conventional approaches in this aspect.

Abstract

In the context of academic writing, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) undergraduate students seem to utilize AI-based grammar checkers, such as Grammarly, to assist them in their writing. This current study aimed to investigate the correlation between EFL undergraduate students' perceptions towards the use of Grammarly and their writing achievements in academic writing. Additionally, the study sought to determine the extent to which these perceptions affect their writing achievements in academic writing. This research employed a correlational research design which collecting the data through a questionnaire and writing test from 62 students of English Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Metro. The findings showed that more than half participants, 51.61%, held a "High Perception" of Grammarly while their writing achievements in academic writing were generally categorized as "Good", with 95.16% of participants falling into this category. Then, the results revealed that there was a direct relationship with significant moderate to strong positive correlation and a significant level, suggested that as EFL undergraduate students' perceptions of Grammarly improve, their writing achievements in academic writing also tend to increase.

Abstract

This study focuses on enhancing reading comprehension of descriptive texts among eighth-grade students at Muhammadiyah Junior High School in At Tanwir Metro. The objectives of this study were first to determine whether the Reciprocal Teaching Method can improve the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah At Tanwir Metro and second to explore the factors that influence this improvement. This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology. This study was conducted at eighth-grade students of Al Fath class at SMP Muhammadiyah At Tanwir Metro, consisting of 30 participants. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests (multiple- choice questions on descriptive texts), observation sheets to assess student activities, and questionnaires to collect student responses. This method proved effective, as evidenced by the increase in students' post-test scores from an average of 55.6 in the pre-test, to 66.5 in Cycle I, and reaching 72.16 in Cycle II. The second research question was addressed through qualitative data from observations and questionnaires, revealing that factors such as group discussions, teacher support, active questioning, and vocabulary assistance significantly contributed to students’ progress. Most students responded positively to the method, reporting better comprehension, greater confidence, and a more enjoyable learning experience. Seven out of ten indicators met or exceeded the 70% criterion, confirming that Reciprocal Teaching is a practical, student-centered approach that fosters deeper understanding and active classroom participation.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of the LearnEnglish Grammar application on eighth-grade students' grammar mastery at MTs Muhammadiyah Metro, identify any significant differences between students taught using the application and those taught through conventional methods, and explore students' perceptions of the application. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups: an experimental group using the application and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Cluster random sampling was used to select class 8B as the experimental group and class 8C as the control group, each consisting of 14 students. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant improvement in grammar mastery within the experimental group (Sig. < 0.000), indicating a positive impact of the application. However, the Independent Sample T-Test results showed no significant difference between the two groups (Sig. = 0.057), indicating that learning with the traditional method provided comparable results to the app. The questionnaire results showed that students had a generally positive perception of the app, finding it useful, easy to use, and engaging. The findings conclude that LearnEnglish Grammar app enhances grammar learning although its effectiveness is comparable to conventional instruction, and future research is suggested to further investigate the use of LearnEnglish Grammar app with longer treatment duration and larger sample.

Abstract

Speech Acts are utterances spoken by people to make a statement or describe something that affects the future. Examples are promises, threats, refusals, offers, warnings. This study aims to examine the use of Commissive Speech Acts in the film "Inside Out 2" because this film is the latest film released in 2024 and of course there will be many new commissive sentences found in the film. The researcher analyzed the film using a qualitative descriptive approach. The data used is the script of the film "Inside Out 2". Data was collected through documentation and then entered into tabulation as a data collection instrument. The researcher analyzed the data by watching the film while looking for types of speech in the film script and while noting what had been found. Furthermore, this study found that the film Inside Out 2 uses the most offers as one type of commissive speech act. The identification results found 55 examples of commissive speech acts, namely promises with a total of 10 data, threats with a total of 5 data, offers with a total of 21 data, and rejections with a total of 19 data.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Wakelet on eighth-grade students' vocabulary mastery at SMP Yos Sudarso Metro using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test administered to experimental and control groups. The experimental group (n=30) received vocabulary instruction using Wakelet, while the control group (n=30) was taught using conventional methods. The findings from the Paired Sample T-Test indicated a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery within the experimental group (p < 0.001). However, the Independent Sample T-Test revealed no statistically significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.504). The study concludes that while Wakelet demonstrates a positive effect on vocabulary mastery, it does not provide significantly different results compared to traditional teaching methods. The findings suggest that combining Wakelet with traditional teaching methods can improve vocabulary learning. Future research is recommended to examine the long-term impact of using the Wakelet and the potential for developing other language skills.

Abstract

This study explores how the Medium platform contributes to the development of metacognitive awareness and reading comprehension in digital learning environments. In the era of technology-based education, learners are increasingly required to become active and independent readers who can regulate their own learning processes. Metacognition plays a significant role in helping learners monitor, evaluate, and improve their understanding while reading. At the same time, reading comprehension remains a major challenge in many educational contexts, including Indonesia. Through its long-form articles, interactive features, and diverse academic content, Medium provides learners with opportunities to engage in reflective and critical reading practices. The platform encourages users to analyze information, identify comprehension gaps, and develop critical thinking skills through continuous interaction with meaningful texts. Furthermore, Medium supports both literacy development and higher-order thinking by creating a digital space that promotes deep cognitive engagement rather than passive content consumption. Therefore, this article argues that the Medium platform serves as an effective digital tool for enhancing learners’ metacognitive awareness, reading comprehension, and critical thinking abilities in contemporary education.

Abstract

Authorship consistency has taken center stage in academic writing today, especially with the rise of AI and digital writing tools. While traditional authorship studies mostly look at linguistic similarities between disputed and genuine texts, the role of conceptual continuity remains largely overlooked in educational settings. This study addresses this gap by examining authorship consistency in EFL academic writing. Using a qualitative forensic linguistic case study, we analyzed one undergraduate thesis abstract (the questioned document) alongside eight known texts written by the same student. The framework combined linguistic profiling—looking at lexical, grammatical, syntactic, and stylistic features—with a conceptual analysis driven by a handwritten abstract reproduction task. Interestingly, the findings revealed a sharp linguistic mismatch between the thesis abstract and the student's usual writing profile. However, the student displayed deep conceptual continuity, flawlessly rebuilding the study's topic, goals, methodology, findings, and conclusions. This striking contrast where language diverges but the core concept aligns is what we define as conceptual-linguistic divergence. Ultimately, this study suggests that educational authorship checks can no longer rely solely on language patterns; they must integrate conceptual evidence, particularly in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This review synthesises existing research on the cognitive levels represented in English textbook tasks, with particular attention to how these demands align with the developmental characteristics of first-grade learners in bilingual elementary settings. Drawing on studies conducted at senior high school, junior high school, and elementary school levels, the review applies Bloom's Revised Taxonomy alongside Piagetian and sociocultural perspectives on child development to examine how lower-order and higher-order thinking skills are distributed across instructional materials. The synthesis reveals a persistent dominance of lower-order cognitive processes across educational levels, with higher-order thinking skills present but inconsistently integrated, and shows that developmental appropriateness is rarely combined with cognitive-level classification as an evaluative criterion. The review further identifies methodological limitations in prior research, including an overreliance on single-framework content analysis and limited attention to task format, scaffolding, and the reliability of coding procedures. Based on these findings, the review argues that evaluating assessment tasks in bilingual first-grade English textbooks requires an integrative framework that combines cognitive classification with developmental and linguistic considerations. It concludes by outlining directions for future research, including classroom-based investigation of how cognitive demands are enacted in practice and closer attention to task design for emergent bilingual readers.
