It is intended to identify the use of the web on zoom media and websites to hone students' English language skills to improve students' fluency in English language skills.

The class consisted of 15 students. In addition, this study used qualitative methods. Results/Findings The results showed that This immersion instruction is relatively frequent and strong because before the lecturer starts in class, the lecturer performs the act of speaking English and prepares the material to be given to students by giving specific instructions so that students can skillfully communicate in the presented English. Furthermore, students learn through videos guided by native speakers and hone their English-speaking skills with confidence. Thus, it can be said that students are quite enthusiastic to practice speaking English and can follow the instructions with the immersion learning system on video media and the application of immersion program on speaking skills is quite effective for communication between students by using 3D website so that students can hone their speaking skills with native speakers in virtual 3-dimensional form. Implications Implementing web-based instruction in immersion classes not only opens doors to a more versatile and accessible learning environment but also demonstrates the potential for enhanced engagement and interactive language acquisition methodologies.

Abstract

Purpose This research aimed to find out whether teaching ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Nunukan using a literature-based Approach can significantly improve their reading comprehension of narrative texts. Methodology Classroom Action Research (CAR) will be used for the study. The process of this action research is based on the Kemmis and Taggert paradigm. The concept of classroom action research-based instruction emphasizes that the research process has two connected components: the research process and the research output. This stage is completed with the intention of improving numerous flaws before re-implementing it in the subsequent cycle. It is divided into two cycles, each of which comprises four stages: preparation, execution, observation, and reflection. Results/Findings In this study, the pupils' reading comprehension skills in English improved and advanced. From the first cycle to the second cycle, it is discernible. Each cycle sees an improvement in the students and teacher activity. The teacher and students’ observation sheet in each meeting reach the criteria of success. The score from the observation sheet must reach a score of 80 or above to achieve the criteria of success. The minimum score has been determined and agreed by researcher and teacher collaborator. For the first cycle I to cycle II, the score for teacher teaching activities has increased. The observation sheet from the teachers and pupils was used by the researcher as backup information. Each meeting's observation form both the teacher and students meet the standards for success. Implication The study indicates significant enhancement in students' English reading comprehension skills across cycles, evident in discernible progress from the initial to subsequent phases. Consistent improvements in both student engagement and teaching activities are notable, meeting success criteria set in the observation sheets with a threshold of 80 points, a benchmark agreed upon by researchers and teacher collaborators.

It can be proven that the t-test value is smaller than P (0.000 < 0.05), which means that (H0) of this research is rejected and (H1) is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that using fairy tales can improve students' vocabulary abilities. Implications The implication of this study shows that the use of fairy tales in improving the vocabulary of students in class XI UPT SMKN 6 Makassar has a significant impact on improving vocabulary skills. The rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1) confirm that the use of fairy tales is effective in improving the students' vocabulary. Thus, the use of fairy tales can be considered as an effective method in improving students' vocabulary.

What is meant by "qualitative descriptive research" is survey research that determines and explains the use of the strategy for implementing the Makassar State Tourism Polytechnic.

This is evidenced by the empowerment of entrepreneurship aimed at all levels, this fact proves that entrepreneurship subjects have strategic meaning for students and institutions. Implications The conclusion highlights that while schools aim to align with edupreneurship through teaching factories, they face challenges in synchronizing with business and industry practices. These hurdles include deficiencies in work culture adherence, teaching staff's unfamiliarity with industry standards, unmet infrastructure benchmarks, universities' insufficient collaboration with industry entities, and regulatory constraints imposing the use of state assets for revenue generation
