Abstract

This research aimed to develop valid and effective English teaching materials for writing descriptive texts based on Angkola Mandailing culture for students of SMK Kesehatan Darmais Padangsidimpuan. The study employed a research and development design using the ADDIE model, covering the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The needs analysis involved 20 tenth-grade students and showed that they considered descriptive writing important, preferred contextual topics linked to daily life and local culture, and needed support in vocabulary and grammar. The product consisted of descriptive writing materials integrating cultural content such as Sampuraga hot spring and Sipirok batik, accompanied by vocabulary lists, grammar focus, and structured writing tasks. Expert validation by material and media specialists indicated very high validity, with an overall score of 90.15%, confirming that the content, language, presentation, and layout were highly appropriate. Implementation in a small group try-out demonstrated that students’ mean writing scores improved from the “poor” category in the pre-test (mean 59.35) to the “good” category in the post-test (mean 81.30), with all students moving into at least “fairly good” and most into “good” or “very good” categories. These findings indicate that descriptive writing materials based on Angkola Mandailing culture are valid, feasible, and effective in enhancing students’ descriptive writing skills

Abstract

This research aimed to develop and evaluate interactive narrative writing teaching materials based on Story Cube for junior high school students at SMP Al-Washliyah 27 Medan within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Employing a research and development (R&D) design adapted from Borg and Gall and operationalised through the ADDIE model, the study combined qualitative data (observations, interviews, and open responses) with quantitative data (expert validation scores, questionnaires, and pre–post writing tests). Needs analysis showed that students experienced substantial difficulties in generating ideas, structuring narrative texts, and sustaining motivation, while both students and teachers expressed a strong need for visual, game-based media that could stimulate creativity and make writing more engaging. A digital interactive module integrating Story Cube into guided narrative writing tasks was then designed, developed, validated by material and media experts, revised, and implemented in classroom trials. Expert validation yielded very high feasibility scores across content, language, presentation, and graphics, while student responses indicated high levels of acceptance and perceived usefulness. Classroom implementation and learning outcome data suggested that the Story Cube-based module was pedagogically valid, practically usable, and potentially effective in supporting students’ narrative writing development and creativity

Abstract

This research aimed to develop and evaluate animated video-based English vocabulary learning materials for fourth-grade elementary students at UPT SD Negeri 066650 Medan. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design adapted from the Borg and Gall model, the study involved 40 fourth-grade students across two classes (4A and 4B). The development process comprised seven stages: initial information collection, planning, initial field test, product revision, main field test, final product, and revision. Needs analysis revealed students' difficulties in vocabulary mastery, limited engagement with conventional teaching methods, and the need for contextual, audiovisual learning materials. The developed product utilized Peppa Pig animated videos integrated with vocabulary worksheets, pronunciation practice, and contextual exercises. Expert validation confirmed the media's feasibility. Quantitative results demonstrated significant vocabulary improvement: Class 4A increased from a mean pre-test score of 63.35 to 77.05 (13.70-point improvement), while Class 4B improved from 60.90 to 73.35 (12.45-point improvement). Qualitative findings indicated positive student responses, increased motivation, and enhanced classroom participation. The findings support Mayer's Multimedia Learning Theory, Paivio's Dual Coding Theory, and Krashen's Input Hypothesis. This study contributes a validated, practical animated video-based instructional product for elementary English vocabulary instruction

Abstract

In daily communication, there are some people in the same tribes or even different tribes making interactions by using their majority own language, such as Karo language. With their different tribes or even the same tribes, it is possible for them to utilize code switching and code mixing. The method of writing this research is by observing in the field while the community doing communication, such as in the party, in coincidence talking, hence, it is called qualitative research. The analysis of this research is that the researcher found that now a days, the Karo people tend to use code switching and code mixing among them. On the basis of the observations, it is common or frequent for the people of Karo use these types of language. The conclusion is that the use of using code switching and code mixing cannot be avoided any more due to the development of economy, communication, and also the unawareness of the native speakers to their own language

Abstract

This study investigates primary school teachers’ preparedness to implement differentiated instruction (DI) in inclusive classrooms and its relationship with student learning outcomes in the Indonesian context. A quantitative cross‑sectional survey was conducted with 287 classroom teachers from 34 public and private inclusive primary schools in Yogyakarta and Central Java. Teacher preparedness was measured using a four‑dimensional scale (knowledge, skills, attitudes, self‑efficacy), while student outcomes were operationalized as class‑aggregate academic achievement and engagement. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, multiple regression, and ANOVA. Overall teacher preparedness was moderate (M=3.72, SD=0.68), with the lowest dimension being knowledge of DI (M=3.24). A significant positive correlation was found between teacher preparedness and student academic outcomes (r=0.47, p<.001) and engagement (r=0.53, p<.001). Multiple regression revealed that self‑efficacy (β=0.34) and pedagogical skills (β=0.28) were the strongest predictors of academic achievement, while attitudes (β=0.29) and self‑efficacy (β=0.25) predicted engagement. Teachers who had participated in formal DI training demonstrated significantly higher preparedness (t=6.89, p<.001), and years of experience positively moderated the relationship. Teacher preparedness for DI is a critical determinant of student success in inclusive primary classrooms. Strengthening pre‑service and in‑service training that targets self‑efficacy and concrete DI skills is urgently recommended to enhance inclusive education quality in Indonesia

Abstract

This research and development (R&D) study aimed to develop a reading comprehension module using the Herringbone Technique to enhance critical thinking skills among eighth-grade students at UPT SMP Negeri 8 Medan. Following Borg and Gall's (2003) nine-step adaptation model, the study systematically developed, validated, and tested instructional materials for narrative text comprehension. The product, titled "Interactive Students' Narrative: A Reading Comprehension Module Using the Herringbone Technique," comprised three units featuring culturally relevant narratives integrated with structured questioning frameworks. Expert validation yielded an average score of 88.3% (highly valid category). Effectiveness testing with 32 students demonstrated significant improvement from pre-test (M=59.84) to post-test (M=82.34), with a normalized gain of 0.72 (high category). Paired-sample t-test results (t=14.83, p<0.05) confirmed statistically significant improvement. Student response questionnaires indicated highly positive perceptions (87.7%). The findings establish that Herringbone-based materials effectively scaffold reading comprehension and critical thinking development, offering a validated instructional resource aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum's emphasis on higher-order thinking competencies.

Abstract

This research and development study aimed to create and evaluate multisensory-based English vocabulary teaching materials for preschool learners aged 3-4 years at TK Bangun Insan Mandiri, Medan, Indonesia. Employing the ADDIE instructional design model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the study produced two complementary products: a Teacher's Guide Book and a Student Activity Book organized around five thematic units (Plants, Recreation, Occupation, Elements, Universe). Validation by material experts (92.5%), media experts (92.5%), and practitioner teachers (89.29%) confirmed the products' high feasibility. Implementation with 14 preschoolers over five sessions using the Elements theme demonstrated significant vocabulary improvement, with pre-test scores averaging 37.86% (Belum Berkembang category) rising to 75.71% (Berkembang Sesuai Harapan category) in post-test assessments. Classroom observations revealed heightened student engagement, active participation, and enthusiasm during multisensory activities incorporating visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic elements. The findings confirm that systematically developed multisensory materials effectively support vocabulary acquisition in early childhood EFL contexts, addressing the gap between theoretical support for multisensory learning and its limited practical application in Indonesian preschools. This study contributes practical, validated resources for early English vocabulary instruction and demonstrates the efficacy of developmentally appropriate, sensory-rich pedagogical approaches in fostering young learners' language development
