Abstract

This research aimed to identify the problems faced by Grade X students in learning English vocabulary at SMAN 1 Palasa Parigi Moutong, with a focus on Grade X C students as the research subjects. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method, involving 29 students selected from a total population of 153. The instruments used to collect data were a questionnaire consisting of 13 questions and interviews with 8 questions. The findings revealed five main categories of difficulties experienced by the students: (1) challenges in memorizing long and complex vocabulary, indicating limited memory capacity and the absence of effective learning strategies; (2) difficulties in translating English texts, which stemmed from limited vocabulary mastery, insufficient grammatical understanding, and an inability to comprehend sentence context; (3) problems in spelling, caused by discrepancies between English pronunciation and spelling; (4) pronunciation difficulties, particularly due to the presence of silent letters and inconsistencies between spelling and pronunciation; and (5) obstacles in accurately using vocabulary in sentences, especially in selecting the correct verb tense and appropriate prepositions. These results indicated that students’ vocabulary mastery required significant improvement across various aspects, including memory retention, spelling, pronunciation, comprehension, and contextual usage. Therefore, a more contextualized, integrative, and sustainable approach to teaching English vocabulary was needed at the secondary school level.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine whether the use of the PARS (Preview, Ask Question, Read, Summarize) strategy could improve reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Palu. A quasi-experimental design was used with a sample selected through available sampling. Class XI H served as the experimental group and Class XI F as the control group. Class XI H was chosen for treatment due to its lower English proficiency based on pre-test results. The research instrument was a reading test consisting of multiple-choice, essay, and true/false questions, administered as both pre-test and post-test. The mean pre-test scores were 46.04 for the experimental class and 47.46 for the control class. After treatment, the experimental group’s mean post-test score rose to 75.72, while the control group’s was 65.69. Statistical analysis showed that the t-counted value (1.99) exceeded the t-table value (1.67), indicating a significant improvement. The findings suggest that the PARS strategy effectively enhances students’ reading comprehension. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to implement this strategy to promote student engagement and understanding, particularly in content-heavy subjects, by guiding learners through an active and structured reading process.

Abstract

Designing an effective English as a Foreign Language (EFL) curriculum necessitates a comprehensive understanding of learners’ linguistic, academic, and sociocultural needs. This qualitative literature review critically examines the role of needs analysis in shaping relevant and context-sensitive learning outcomes for EFL programs. Drawing upon peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025, this study applies content analysis to identify recurring themes and gaps in the literature. The findings converge on three interrelated insights: (1) the imperative of constructing learner-centered and contextualized curricula; (2) the detrimental impact of omitting systematic needs analysis, often resulting in decontextualized and ineffective learning outcomes; and (3) the transformative role of participatory needs analysis involving multiple stakeholders. The review reveals that when needs analysis is consistently implemented, it enhances curricular relevance, learner motivation, and instructional alignment. Conversely, underutilization—especially in centralized or under-resourced systems—undermines curriculum effectiveness. The study advocates for an epistemological shift in curriculum development: reconceptualizing needs analysis as a continuous, dialogic process rather than a preliminary task. The paper concludes by proposing institutional strategies for integrating technology, stakeholder feedback, and reflective practice into the curriculum development cycle. These findings offer critical implications for educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers aiming to foster adaptive, equitable, and learner-responsive EFL education.
