The Mnemonic Technique, specifically the acrostic approach, was employed to enhance memory by constructing sentences. The study comprised two iterations, with each iteration encompassing preparation, execution, observation, and reflection stages. The results demonstrated a noteworthy enhancement in the students' proficiency in language. During cycle I, the average pre-test score was 65.87, which subsequently rose to 73.87 in the post-test. During cycle II, the average post-test score showed a further improvement to 89.87. The proportion of pupils achieving the passing grade increased from 75% in cycle I to 87.5% in cycle II. In conclusion, the Mnemonic Technique has been shown to be beneficial in improving students' vocabulary, increasing their level of engagement, fostering creativity, and leading to higher learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Direct Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) technique in improving the ability of ninth-grade students at MTs Alkhairaat Alindau to understand and comprehend narrative texts. The main study inquiry investigates the efficacy of the DRTA technique in enhancing students' reading comprehension abilities. The research utilizes a quantitative methodology and follows a pre-experimental design, specifically employing a one-group pretest-posttest framework. The study included a total of 27 ninth-grade students, who serve as both the population and sample. The data gathering process involved administering pretests and posttests, while the analysis utilized descriptive statistics, T-tests, and hypothesis testing. The results suggest that the DRTA technique has a substantial positive impact on pupils' reading comprehension. The initial average score was 46.29, and the statistical analysis showed that the calculated t-value (6.998) was higher than the critical t-value (1.708), resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). These findings demonstrate that implementing the Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DRTA) technique effectively enhances the narrative text reading comprehension of ninth-grade students at MTs Alkhairaat Alindau.

Students' readiness is the first step in accepting and responding to the transformation of learning to achieve their learning goals. The Problems in this research are: (1) How is the readiness of students to implement online learning using Google Classroom? (2) What factors affect student’s readiness to use Google Classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic? It is qualitative descriptive research. The data collection techniques were a questionnaire and an interview. The results indicated that most English students are ready to face online learning using Google Classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four indicators could be used to identify how students were ready for online learning. First, it was the skills of students in using Google Classroom. Second, the students understood how to use technological devices for learning including Google Classroom.

Abstract

This research describes the benefits and problems of teaching English using learning applications. This research is library research. The analysis shows that teaching English using learning technology has several benefits in the teaching and learning process, such as helping students understand the material more easily, increasing interest and motivation in learning, building self-confidence, training cooperation, increasing critical thinking, and creating an atmosphere where learning becomes more fun. For example, in learning speaking, teachers can use social media platforms to practice their English speaking skills, such as by recording videos on YouTube, voice recordings on WhatsApp Voice and so on. Besides that, several difficulties when teaching English using learning applications are time management, difficulty developing material, and students failure to focus on certain parts of learning. In this technology-based learning environment, it is necessary for the teacher to provide clear instructions to students regarding the use of learning applications so that the activity process can be carried out properly and appropriately. To be successful in teaching English by using learning applications, several aspects must be considered that involve all parties, including the availability of infrastructure and devices, the readiness of learning materials, learning activities that support students' cognitive development, and the readiness of teachers and students to carry out various learning applications.
