Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to determine whether the use of the computer game Big City Adventure was effective in developing students’ vocabulary mastery, especially noun vocabulary, among eighth-grade students of Junior High School Muhammadiyah Palopo in the 2025/2026 academic year. Methodology: This study used a pre-experimental design with one-group pre-test and post-test. The population consisted of 20 eighth-grade students, and total sampling was applied. Instruments included vocabulary tests (50 noun vocabulary items), questionnaires (10 Likert-scale items), computer, LCD projector, dictionary, and the Big City Adventure computer game as learning media. Main Findings: The findings showed significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after treatment. The pre-test mean score was 4.99, while the post-test mean score increased to 8.38. Most students moved from poor and fair categories to good, very good, and excellent categories. Students also gave positive responses toward learning vocabulary using the computer game. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduced Big City Adventure as an interactive computer game for teaching noun vocabulary in junior high school. Unlike conventional memorization methods, this approach combined visual learning, student engagement, and enjoyable gameplay, helping reduce boredom and increase motivation, interest, and vocabulary retention in English learning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to determine whether the implementation of the Audiolingual Method could improve the speaking skill of first-year students at Junior High School State 26 Makassar, particularly in producing asking, giving, and refusing expressions in English conversations. Methodology: This study used Collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on Kemmis and McTaggart’s model with two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 23 students of SMP Negeri 26 Makassar. Instruments included speaking tests, observation checklists, lesson plans, students’ worksheets, and scoring rubrics adapted from Heaton (1988) covering accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. Main Findings: The findings showed significant improvement in students’ speaking skills after applying the Audiolingual Method. The mean score increased from 2.2 in the pre-test to 3.8 in Cycle I and 4.4 in Cycle II. Students also showed better classroom participation, confidence, cooperation, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehensibility during speaking activities. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study highlights the effectiveness of the Audiolingual Method through systematic drilling and repetition activities to improve junior high school students’ speaking performance. Unlike previous studies focusing on pictures or questioning techniques, this research emphasizes oral habit formation, pronunciation practice, and communicative confidence using structured dialogue repetition in classroom action research.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the pedagogical and professional competencies of English teachers in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning at Madrasah Aliyah Madani Alauddin Pao-Pao, Gowa, South Sulawesi, particularly in classroom management, teaching implementation, and mastery of teaching materials. Methodology: This study used a qualitative descriptive method. The subjects were two English teachers at Madrasah Aliyah Madani Alauddin Pao-Pao. Data were collected through classroom observation, structured interviews with teachers, unstructured interviews with students, lesson plan review, and observation checklists. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Main Findings: The findings revealed that pedagogical competence between the two teachers showed significant differences. One teacher was considered less effective due to monotonous teaching methods and limited classroom engagement, while the other teacher was more favored because of interactive teaching strategies. Both teachers demonstrated adequate professional competence in material mastery, technology use, and continuous professional development. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study specifically compares pedagogical and professional competencies of English teachers in an Islamic senior high school context by combining teacher observation and student perceptions. It highlights how student-centered teaching strategies significantly influence teacher effectiveness, providing practical insights for improving EFL teaching quality in madrasah settings.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify common Arabic grammatical errors made by eighth-semester Tarjamah students in translating Islamic texts and to analyze the factors influencing these errors in Arabic-to-Indonesian translation practices. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative field research design combined with library research. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, translation tests, documentation, and literature review involving eighth-semester Tarjamah students of State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Data analysis techniques included editing, tabulating, classification, and grammatical error analysis focusing on nahwu and sharaf aspects in Islamic text translation. Main Findings: The findings revealed that many students still experienced difficulties in applying Arabic grammar rules, particularly nahwu and sharaf, during the translation process. Frequent errors were found in identifying fi’il-fa’il structures, jumlah ismiyyah and fi’liyyah, mudhaf-mudhaf ilaih, and grammatical sentence positions. These weaknesses affected translation accuracy, coherence, and naturalness. Internal learning motivation, limited practice, instructional methods, and insufficient mastery of qawa’id were identified as major contributing factors. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study specifically examines Arabic grammatical errors in translating Islamic manuscripts among Tarjamah students using authentic translation tasks from Jâmi’ al-Fiqih texts. The research contributes new insights into the relationship between Arabic grammar mastery and translation quality while highlighting pedagogical weaknesses in Arabic grammar instruction within higher education translation programs.
