Abstract

This research aims to analyze the extent to which local cultural elements are integrated into English language learning materials for junior high school. The focus of this study is on the English language book "English for Nusantara" designed for grade VIII SMP/MTs students. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a thematic content analysis design, the research examined various local cultural elements reflected in the English language learning materials. Data was collected through in-depth reading and analysis of the texts within the book. The research findings indicate the successful integration of five local cultural elements into the English language materials, such as local language, local traditions, local areas, local food, and folktales. This integration positively contributes to contextualizing English language learning for junior high school students, creating a learning experience that is more relevant to their cultural realities. The implications of these findings provide valuable guidance for the development of English language learning materials that are more contextual and aligned with the cultural needs of students at the junior high school level.

Abstract

ELSA is an application that can detect pronunciation errors. This research aims to find out whether using the Elsa application can improve students' pronunciation. The samples used were 40 students in grades 2 and 3 of SMP N 1 Beutoeng Ateuh; 20 from class 2, and 20 from class 3. Data collection used pre-tests, post-tests and experiments. The data analysis used is the Homogeneity Test, Paired Sample T-Test and Independent T-Test. Homogeneity Test findings indicate that the sample groups are similar enough to be comparable. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant improvement in students' pronunciation skills after using the ELSA application, which highlights the effectiveness of the application in assisting pronunciation learning. The Independent T-Test further supports these findings by showing a striking difference in pronunciation skills between the experimental group that used the ELSA application and the control group that did not use the ELSA application.

Abstract

One of the most important components in learning English is vocabulary. Many previous studies show that students experience various problems or difficulties in learning English vocabulary because the teacher's teaching techniques are less interesting and make students bored. In this case, interesting teaching techniques are needed so that students do not get bored with teaching materials. Applications and games, for example, can be applied either online or offline to make the lesson interesting. This study aims to test whether the use of Duolingo printed materials for Grade I students at SMP IT Mahyal Ulum Al-Aziziyah can improve the student's English vocabulary. The research conducted in these two classes applies true experimental design types of pretest and posttest control group design. There were four encounters in the study including pretest and posttest. The sample of this study consisted of 54 students, which was evenly distributed in each of the classes. The instruments used to collect data were pretest and posttest. The test results were analyzed using the formula proposed by Sudjana (2006). It was found that the pretest average in the experimental class was 73 and the posttest average was 92. The pretest average in the control class was 46.3 and the posttest average was 5.3. Therefore, the increase from pretest to posttest in the experimental class was 19 points. The results of this study revealed that the use of Duolingo printed materials increased students' English vocabulary effectively and helped them remember new words.
