Abstract

Writing has been a very challenging skill for students especially for eight grade learners of one Islamic junior high school in Central Aceh. This research was conducted to see whether the picture and picture-learning model could increase the students’ capability in writing. To investigate it, the quantitative approach, i.e., experimental method was employed. The population of this study was four classes, totaling 124 students. By using random sampling, classes VIII1 and VIII3 consisting of 30 and 32 students, respectively, were selected as the sample of this research. To collect the data, both pretest and posttest were given to the students before and after applying the picture-learning model. The results showed that the learners performed better after the intervention for both groups; however, the experimental group made better improvement in their writing (post-test = 84; pre-test = 60). In addition, the t-test also displayed that t-test (3.603) was higher than t-table (3.0) indicating that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. The conclusion, therefore, was that the picture and picture-learning model increased the students’ writing ability.

Abstract

As one of the language skills, reading also has two types of testing, namely subjective and objective testing. Each type of test has several forms. Although teachers must have their own purposes in choosing what type of test should be given to the students, some types of tests look more difficult than others. This is what this study focused on. The aim of this study is to look deeper into what and why some types of tests seem difficult to students, especially to Darul Ihsan students, which consist of 28 students. The result of this study shows that prediction, conclusion, details, and purposes are the most difficult question types. Meanwhile, the main idea, reference, and inference are quite difficult. In addition, the title, synonym, and antonym are not really difficult for them. The reasons behind this were that predictions, conclusions, details, and purposes need much critical thinking and background knowledge. This was what the students faced and surely should be a vital consideration in the teaching and learning process.

In this research, 100 data of verb phrases with modality were obtained and categorized into three types of modalities; 50 data belong to the deontic modality, 24 data to the dynamic modality, and 18 data to the epistemic modality. Verb phrases with two modalities are also found; 6 data belong to the epistemic and deontic modalities, and 2 data belong to the epistemic and dynamic modalities. Eight translation techniques are adopted, including established equivalent, literal translation, linguistic amplification, transposition, the combination of established equivalent and transposition, the combination of literal translation and transposition, the combination of established equivalent and reduction, and the combination of linguistic amplification and established equivalent. The most used technique is the established equivalent with 62 data or 62% of the total data. The overall readability translation score of verb phrases with modality in the privacy policy has quite high readability, with a score of 2.76.
