Abstract

Speaking is a communicative and repetitive activity supported by simple structure and clear meaning. This study aimed to identify speaking difficulties among second-semester students of the English Department at FKIP Universitas Ekasakti. The main problems found were lack of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The research used a descriptive quantitative method. The population consisted of 11 students, and total sampling was applied, meaning all students participated. A speaking test was used as the research instrument. Students were asked to perform in front of the class, and their speaking abilities were analyzed using specific speaking indicators.The results showed that out of 11 students, 1 student achieved a very good level, 8 students were in the good category, and 2 students were in the average category. The overall average score was 76, indicating that students’ speaking ability, especially in interactive speaking through group discussion, was at a good level.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and describe the overall ability of eleventh-grade students in writing analytical exposition text and specifically to identify their most significant difficulties across the five components of writing: Content, Organization, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Mechanics. The design of this research is descriptive research. The sample consisted of 30 students from eleventh-grade AKL 1 at SMK Negeri 2 Padang, selected using purposive sampling. The primary instrument for data collection was a writing test, and the results were analyzed using the scoring rubric for writing test to determine the students’ average score and their proficiency level for each component. The research found that the students' overall writing ability fell into the good category, achieving an average score of 78. Students performed well in the components of Content, Organization, and Mechanics. However, the analysis revealed that their most critical difficulty was in the Vocabulary component, which significantly affected the accuracy and richness of their language use in conveying complex ideas. In conclusion, the students’ ability in writing analytical exposition text is at a moderate-to-good level. The primary constraint hindering higher proficiency is the lack of vocabulary mastery.

The study was motivated by observations that many students still face challenges in speaking English fluently and confidently. A descriptive research design was employed, involving 28 students selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a speaking test focusing on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The results indicate that students’ speaking ability falls into the moderate category with an average score of 63. Pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency were categorized as moderate, while comprehension was categorized as high. The main problems identified were nervousness, lack of self-confidence, and limited vocabulary, which affected students’ fluency and performance. This study concludes that storytelling can be an effective medium for improving students’ speaking ability and confidence in English communication.

Abstract

In English lessons, writing ability is one of the challenges for students. Analyzing students' abilities is the key to developing effective methods, especially in writing recount texts based on their generic structure. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze students' abilities in writing recount texts based on their generic structure. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative design. In this study, the researcher also used cluster random sampling in two classes, namely class X DPIB 1 and DPIB 2. Then the researcher chose one of the two classes, namely class X DPIB 1, which consisted of 25 students. Data were collected through a writing test. In conclusion, the results of the study showed that most students had moderate writing abilities, with a score of 56% in the writing component. Although they performed well in the orientation section, they struggled in the event section, lacking details and proper sequence. Overall, their ability in writing recount texts based on generic structure was classified as good, with a score of 3.28.

Abstract

The principle of action plays a central role in both classical and quantum mechanics, yet its physical meaning is often introduced in a purely formal manner. In this work, the concept of action is examined from a scale-based perspective that clarifies its role in the quantum–classical correspondence. By emphasizing the dimensionless ratio S/ℏ, we show that the emergence of classical dynamics can be understood as a consequence of quantum phase coherence rather than as an independent postulate. Within the path integral formulation, classical trajectories arise naturally from stationary-phase conditions when the action associated with a physical process becomes large compared to Planck’s constant. This interpretation provides a unified conceptual framework in which variational principles, quantum interference, and classical determinism are linked through the scale of action. The analysis highlights the role of Planck’s constant as a universal parameter governing the physical relevance of alternative histories, analogous to the function of Boltzmann’s constant in statistical physics. Beyond its theoretical implications, the proposed perspective offers pedagogical value by providing a coherent bridge between classical and quantum mechanics suitable for advanced undergraduate and early graduate physics education.
