Abstract

Most studies on expressive speech acts in Korean have primarily focused on theoretical frameworks, with limited attention to their use in informal and spontaneous contexts. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates expressive speech acts in the YouTube reality show No Prepare Season 2. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research centers on the host’s utterances to examine the forms and functions of expressive speech acts. The findings indicate that most expressive acts are delivered indirectly, reflecting the host’s preference for implicit emotional expression. Emotions such as happiness and surprise were the most frequently observed, reinforcing the show’s lighthearted and positive tone. In contrast, expressions of anger and dislike were strategically employed as humor to highlight the guests' appeal. This demonstrated that expressive speech in this context serves both emotional and entertainment purposes. Emotional openness was greater in close or equal relationships, while social distance led to more restrained expression. Nevertheless, the host’s communicative style which marked by humor, politeness, and spontaneity enabled smooth and engaging interactions across different social dynamics.

Abstract

This study explores the roles of teachers in implementing independent learning at BBC Vocational High School Medan. The research addresses two core questions: how teachers conceptualize their roles in fostering independent learning and how these roles are implemented in classroom practice. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis. Findings indicate that teachers predominantly fulfill roles as educators, motivators, planners, organizers, and evaluators. However, roles such as facilitator, mentor, and initiator are only partially implemented. The study underscores the importance of expanding teacher capacities to foster autonomy in vocational education and suggests areas for professional development to enhance independent learning practices.

Abstract

This study explores the use of Wordwall in teaching English vocabulary to seventh-grade students at an Islamic Junior High School and investigates the teacher's perception of this digital tool. It employs a descriptive qualitative design using the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework by Mishra and Koehler (2006) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis (1989). Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation. Observation focused on TPACK indicators, while interviews were based on TAM dimensions: Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU). Findings reveal that the teacher could independently operate Wordwall and adapt it to student characteristics using contextual and kinesthetic strategies. The teacher perceived Wordwall as easy to use and effective in enhancing student motivation and vocabulary comprehension. Despite minor technical challenges, the teacher managed them with appropriate strategies.

Abstract

This study addresses the gap in understanding how collaborative learning strategies support independent learning among high school students, specifically at SMA Negeri 7 Medan. The purpose of the research was to explore students’ perceptions of collaborative learning within the context of independent English language learning. A qualitative case study design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of students’ experiences. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, which included both closed-ended and open-ended questions to capture students’ attitudes, challenges, and personal insights. The participants consisted of Senior High School students actively engaged in collaborative learning activities. Data were analyzed descriptively to identify key themes and patterns in students’ responses. The findings reveal that students generally perceive collaborative learning as beneficial, enhancing their academic understanding, self-confidence, and communication skills while fostering social interaction and cooperation. However, challenges such as uneven participation and insufficient teacher facilitation were also noted. These results suggest that integrating collaborative strategies within independent learning can improve student engagement and outcomes if supported by effective instructional design. The study implies that educators should balance individual autonomy with structured collaboration to maximize learning benefits and recommends further research on teacher roles and cross-subject applications of collaborative learning.

Abstract

The test instrument development research aims to determine the computational thinking ability of students towards English language learning. The type of research used is R&D with the 6-Stage Borg and Gall development model (Research and Information Collecting, Planning, Initial Product Development, Expert Validation, Revision Expert Validation, Product Implementation). The test instrument that is suitable for use has passed the eligibility standard stage, namely, validity, reliability and difficulty level. The research was conducted at SD Negeri 105855 PTPN II Tanjung Morawa with class IV research subject totaling 35 studentrs. Data from validator result using Cohen’s kappa of 0.65 with strong category. In this study obtained 10 valid questions from 15 questions developed with a reliability value of 0.62 in the moderate category. Then the results of the student ability test show the average score of students 90.85 excellent category. The findings suggest that Bebras-style questions effectively measure the components of CT-decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, algorithmic thinking-and support meaningful English learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supports independent learning among Grade 8 students at SMP PAB 8 Sampali. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 11 students using a Likert scale. The findings reveal that most PBL components were effectively implemented, including the use of real-world problems, the teacher's role as a facilitator, interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, reflection, and the development of lifelong learning skills. However, elements that require greater student participation such as active problem-solving and choosing how to learn were found to be less developed. PBL was shown to enhance students' time management, responsibility, self-assessment, and curiosity. Despite this progress, some students still heavily relied on teacher guidance, indicating a gap in their ability to learn on their own. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers provide additional support to build students’ confidence and thinking skills, helping them become more independent in their learning. Overall, PBL is proven to be an effective strategy for promoting independent learning, although its success depends on how ready students are to take charge of their own learning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the strategies used by seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 12 Binjai in conducting independent learning in English. This study uses a qualitative research design, data collected through a questionnaire consisting of open-ended questions. The instrument, a carefully structured questionnaire, was administered to the students, whose responses served as the primary data source. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach through data reduction, categorization, and conclusion drawing, following Miles and Huberman’s (1994) framework. The findings reveal that students applied various strategies aligned with Zimmerman’s (2000) three-phase model of self-regulated learning: forethought, performance, and self-reflection. In the forethought phase, students engaged in goal-setting and planning; during the performance phase, they managed time and minimized distractions; and in the self-reflection phase, they evaluated their learning progress. The study concludes that while students demonstrate foundational self-regulated learning behaviors, there remains a need for more structured guidance to deepen their metacognitive skills and enhance their overall learning autonomy.
