Abstract

This research investigates how effective the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method is at improving students’ understanding of reading through narrative texts in SMP GKPS 13 Sibarou. The study was motivated by the finding that numerous eighth-grade students struggled with grasping text organization and main concepts in their reading materials. To tackle this challenge, the teacher adopted PBL techniques by offering students real-world problems related to narrative text analysis, which they addressed collectively through reading aloud, discussions, and presentations. The research included 14 students who were paired up, and it utilized worksheets, observation forms, reading comprehension assessments, and documentation as tools. Activities were crafted to encourage students to recognize the organization of narrative texts, apply past tense verbs, and derive meaning through guided inquiry. The reading aloud method aided learners in enhancing their pronunciation, fluency, and understanding of the texts. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' narrative text comprehension, along with heightened confidence, involvement, and critical thinking skills. The incorporation of PBL encouraged teamwork and a more profound engagement with the content. This method is advantageous for English educators looking to develop meaningful, student-focused learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the process and outcomes of writing skill assessment among fourth-grade students at SD Swasta Latihan 1 YP HKBP PEMATANG SIANTAR. The background of this observation is the students’ limited ability to construct grammatically correct and structured English sentences. The teaching method used was sentence building, a technique where students are guided to form complete sentences from scrambled words provided by the teacher. This method was chosen as it is suitable for elementary-level students who are still developing basic sentence construction skills in English. The participants of this observation were all fourth-grade students. Data were collected through classroom observation, student worksheets, and reflective teacher notes. The teaching activity was conducted in stages, starting from the introduction of simple sentence patterns (Subject + Verb + Object), continued with guided sentence construction exercises, and concluded with individual writing tasks as evaluation. The observation results showed that most students demonstrated noticeable improvement in understanding sentence structure and exhibited greater confidence in writing short English sentences. Although minor errors in grammar and spelling were still present, the sentence building method proved to be effective in supporting students’ writing development. Therefore, it is recommended that this method be applied consistently in elementary-level writing instruction, especially in the context of sentence construction activities.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve listening comprehension among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 124385 Pematangsiantar through the integration of BBC Learning English audio and the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach. The problem addressed was the limited use of authentic listening activities in classrooms. The program involved 19 students and was carried out in three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. During the implementation, students participated in contextual listening tasks, vocabulary repetition, group analysis, and interactive question sessions. Rather than using formal tests, the evaluation focused on student engagement and response accuracy through observation. Results showed that 78.95% of students achieved strong listening performance. The findings suggest that integrating Communicative Language Teaching with accessible audio materials supports effective and affordable listening skill development in elementary classrooms.

Abstract

This study presents a socialization activity that introduced the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to 11th-grade students in the TKJ program at SMK Nusantara Tanah Jawa. This initiative aimed to raise awareness of the TOEFL test format, its importance, and its relevance to academic and career development. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving 16 students through a structured program consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Findings indicated that most students were initially unfamiliar with the TOEFL, especially the listening component. However, this socialization activity effectively increased students' understanding and interest in English learning, especially in the listening section. Challenges such as low prior knowledge and limited engagement were addressed through simplified explanations and interactive sessions. Overall, the activity contributed positively to improving students' English language competence and motivation, preparing them to understand the TOEFL listening section for global academic and professional demands.

Abstract

This community-based outreach program was conducted to improve Grade XI students’ awareness, skills, and motivation in preparing for the TOEFL Listening section at SMA Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar. As English language proficiency becomes an increasingly essential requirement for global education and career advancement, early exposure to international standardized tests such as TOEFL is critical. The program introduced students to the structure and function of the TOEFL, including its different types (iBT, ITP, and Prediction) and the specific challenges of the Listening section. Students were trained to use effective strategies such as focusing on the final line in dialogues, identifying synonymous phrases in questions and answers, and avoiding traps based on similar sounds. The implementation included interactive presentations, real-time simulations using Google Forms, and guided listening activities with authentic audio. Students participated actively and demonstrated improved engagement, comprehension, and test readiness. The feedback phase indicated that students gained a clearer understanding of TOEFL Listening tasks and increased confidence in approaching listening-based questions. The combination of strategy-based instruction, digital simulations, and supportive discussion helped students overcome initial anxiety and performance gaps. As a result, this outreach initiative successfully equipped students with practical listening tools, increased their motivation to practice independently, and laid the foundation for future TOEFL preparation. It is recommended that similar programs be extended to other schools to support students’ readiness for international English proficiency testing.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how the application of Islamic counseling using the role model technique can improve the morals and manners of elementary school students. The background to this study stems from the persistent lack of respect for teachers and peers, as well as the failure to demonstrate politeness in speech and actions. Through exemplary stories of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Islamic figures, students are expected to emulate the good behaviors reflected in the stories. The method used in this study was a qualitative case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively using the steps of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The study subjects consisted of several students who experienced difficulties in maintaining good manners during interactions at school. The results showed that the application of the role model technique in Islamic counseling resulted in positive changes in student behavior. They became more polite, respected teachers, and behaved better towards their peers. Thus, the role model technique can be used as an effective method for developing morals in elementary school students.

Abstract

Curriculum development is a continuous and comprehensive process aimed at creating an effective and relevant learning system that meets the needs of learners and the demands of changing times. This process involves planning and designing the curriculum by considering critical aspects such as national education goals, material relevance, flexibility in implementation, and efficient use of available resources. Fundamental principles of curriculum development include goal orientation, relevance, flexibility, continuity, and effectiveness, which serve as key guidelines in designing curricula that focus not only on academic content but also on developing broad life skills, including critical thinking, social skills, and vocational abilities. Moreover, a well-designed curriculum addresses both individual and collective differences among learners, ensures continuity across educational levels and subjects, and optimizes the use of funds, time, personnel, and facilities. The quality of curriculum development is measured based on established national education standards, with the aim of producing competent generations ready to face challenges in the workforce and society. Therefore, curriculum development grounded on these principles supports comprehensive and sustainable educational success.
