Abstract

This research, conducted by Kharisma Nur Azizah, explores the readiness of English teachers at SMKN 1 Kota Jambi in designing lesson plans based on the "Curriculum Merdeka." The study aims to identify the preparations and challenges faced by teachers in supporting their readiness for the 10th-grade lesson plans under this new curriculum framework. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data through interviews. The findings reveal several key aspects of readiness and challenges for English teachers. Readiness includes cognitive aspects such as the importance of lesson plan design, understanding the independent curriculum, using media resources to support lesson plan creation, and the ability to compile and evaluate lesson plans effectively. Physical readiness (energy and health), psychological readiness (interest and motivation), and the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure are also critical components. The study found that the curriculum is both flexible and complex. Teachers utilize various media sources like ESP, TOEIC, the Merdeka teaching platform, and YouTube to prepare lesson plans based on major department profiles and determine competency (CP), topic (TP), and lesson activity plans (ATP). Physical readiness in designing lesson plans requires an intensive two-week period, while psychological readiness helps increase knowledge and update teaching experiences to meet student needs effectively.Challenges include time management and aligning lesson plans with diagnostic assessments of student characteristics to ensure they meet the standards of the Curriculum Merdeka.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of employing the Global Method on students' reading comprehension at MTsN 5 Jambi City. It adopts a quantitative approach through a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups. The sample comprises 68 students divided into experimental and control groups selected via purposive random sampling. Data collection involves short-answer questions administered as pre-tests and post-tests. The findings indicate a higher mean post-test score (74.26) compared to the mean pre-test score (49.41). Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test reveals a significance level (sig 2-tailed) of 0.000, indicating acceptance of Ha1 (alternative hypothesis) and rejection of H01 (null hypothesis), signifying a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension after implementing the Global Method. Additionally, results from the independent sample t-test show a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000, with a t-test value (6.074) surpassing the t-table value (1.671) at df = 66, leading to acceptance of Ha2 and rejection of H02. This confirms a significant difference in reading comprehension between students exposed to the Global Method and those who were not.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Wordwall, a gamification-based learning media, in improving students' learning outcomes on simple past tense and recount text. Conducted with a single experimental group consisting of 25 eighth-grade students at SMPN 8 Tanjung Jabung Timur, the research employed a pre-experimental design. Data collection involved pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in students' comprehension. Over six sessions, students were introduced to Wordwall through interactive activities such as quizzes, word matching, and spinning wheels. Statistical analysis using the independent sample t-test revealed a significant improvement in students' scores, with the mean score increasing from 68.4 on the pre-test to 78.9 on the post-test (t = 5.87, p < 0.05). Before the intervention, only 8 students achieved scores above the minimum passing grade (75), while post-test results showed 21 students surpassing this threshold. The findings underscore Wordwall's potential to enhance student engagement and motivation through gamified elements, effectively addressing learning challenges in traditional methods. The study concludes that Wordwall is a valuable tool for fostering an interactive and enjoyable learning environment, particularly in English language instruction. Future research should explore its application across diverse subjects and educational levels to validate and extend these findings.

Abstract

This research investigates the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model to enhance active participation among elementary school students in English learning. Using a Classroom Action Research design with McTaggart’s model, the study was conducted in one cycle consisting of six meetings. Data collection was performed through teacher observations and field notes to capture student engagement and participation throughout the learning process. The research aimed to address the low level of student activity and interest in traditional English learning methods. The findings reveal that the implementation of PjBL significantly improved student participation. Of the 21 students observed, 19 actively engaged in group discussions, project activities, and presentations. The remaining two students showed progress, though their involvement was less consistent. The PjBL model encouraged students to explore, collaborate, and produce creative outputs, such as a mini dictionary, which allowed them to apply English vocabulary in a meaningful context. The structured PjBL syntax fostered critical thinking, teamwork, and confidence among the students. This study concludes that PjBL is an effective approach for creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment. It provides educators with a practical framework for increasing student motivation and participation, offering a meaningful and interactive alternative to conventional teaching methods.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness and obstacles of the memorization method in English learning at Al Ihsan Islamic Boarding School. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with a grade 12 student selected by purposive sampling. The results showed that the memorization method has significant advantages in helping students master vocabulary and build learning discipline. Memorization is an effective tool for remembering new vocabulary consistently, which provides a strong foundation for students in understanding texts and other learning materials. In addition, the memorization routine helps students form structured learning habits. However, this study also revealed several obstacles, including a lack of contextual understanding of the memorized vocabulary, boredom due to repetition, time constraints due to the busy schedule of the Islamic boarding school, and teaching materials that do not support contextualization. To overcome these obstacles, the integration of the memorization method with a context-based approach and more interactive activities is needed. The use of technology and variations in teaching methods can also increase student motivation and understanding. This study confirms that the memorization method remains relevant in English learning, especially in the Islamic boarding school environment. With adjustments and innovations, this method can be optimized to create more effective, interesting, and meaningful learning. The results of this study provide practical recommendations for teachers and educational institutions in developing learning strategies that suit students' needs.
