Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of developing a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model to enhance students' critical and creative skills in learning procedural texts at SMPN 7 Satap Maiwa. The goal was to create a dynamic, engaging, and effective learning environment using the PjBL model to improve students' skills, particularly in English learning. This research employed quantitative methods to provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the PjBL model in enhancing students' critical and creative thinking abilities in procedural text learning. The development of PjBL in education has seen significant progress, especially in secondary English language teaching. This study specifically aimed to assess the application of the PjBL model in teaching procedural texts, with a focus on creating posters using the Canva application by analyzing a tourist spot. The study involved 15 students in the experimental group and 15 students in the control group. The results showed a significant improvement in the students' scores from pre-test to post-test in the experimental group. The average pre-test score for the experimental group was 68.66, while the post-test mean score increased to 86.33. In comparison, the control group’s pre-test and post-test scores were 57.66 and 82.66, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that the p-value was smaller than the α level (0.001 < 0.05), leading to the rejection of H0 and acceptance of H1, indicating that the use of PjBL in learning procedural texts had a positive impact. In conclusion, this study suggests that integrating the PjBL model can effectively enhance students' critical and creative skills, contributing to improved overall learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the use of hyperbolic and metaphorical language styles in Rembulan Merah, a novel by Musthafa Luthfi al-Manfaluthi, through a stylistic analysis approach. Language plays a crucial role in literature, serving as a medium for authors to convey emotions, themes, and artistic expression. By analyzing the stylistic choices in this novel, the research aims to uncover the effects, meanings, and intentions behind the author's use of hyperbole and metaphor. The findings indicate that these stylistic devices significantly enhance the novel’s aesthetic and emotional appeal, making the narrative more engaging and impactful for readers. Hyperbole intensifies dramatic moments, emphasizing emotions and ideas in an exaggerated manner to create a lasting impression. Meanwhile, metaphor enriches descriptions, allowing abstract concepts to be conveyed through vivid and relatable imagery. Furthermore, these linguistic techniques contribute to the overall readability of the novel by making complex themes more accessible. The study highlights how al-Manfaluthi's writing style enables readers to immerse themselves in the story, experience the characters’ emotions, and visualize events with greater clarity. Additionally, the use of hyperbole and metaphor helps maintain narrative dynamism, preventing monotony and enhancing literary appreciation. Through this stylistic analysis, the research underscores the importance of language in shaping literary works and engaging readers.

Abstract

This study examines the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in English language learning as a means to enhance students' language literacy in Indonesia, particularly in response to the low literacy levels reported by PISA. The primary challenge addressed is the lack of understanding and ability among students to evaluate texts, largely due to limited access to interactive and practical learning resources. The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of ICT on improving various aspects of language literacy, including reading comprehension, information connection, and text evaluation skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that ICT usage significantly improves students’ language literacy, especially in text comprehension and analysis. Based on previous studies and current technological applications, ICT has proven to be effective in enhancing both English language learning and literacy development. With greater accessibility, increased interactivity, and the support of innovative tools, ICT offers a more modern and effective alternative to traditional teaching methods. In conclusion, despite challenges related to access and distribution, ICT plays a positive and influential role in supporting the development of students’ language literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the collaborative learning method in enhancing students' motivation to learn English, focusing on seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 SATAP MAIWA. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study explores how collaborative learning techniques influence students’ motivation and evaluates their role in improving the English learning process. The findings indicate that the collaborative learning method has a significant positive impact on students’ motivation. Among the 20 students who participated, 16 (80%) reported increased confidence in using English, opportunities to assist each other in overcoming challenges, and improved problem-solving skills when completing assignments. Group interactions further encouraged students to participate actively in learning activities, making the process more engaging and enjoyable. Collaborative learning also fostered stronger peer relationships and provided a supportive environment where students felt more comfortable expressing their opinions and ideas. The study concludes that the collaborative learning method is an effective strategy for boosting students' motivation in learning English. By working together in groups, students not only gain confidence in communication but also develop essential social and cognitive skills. This method encourages students to be more responsible for their learning while promoting mutual support and cooperation. Therefore, collaborative learning can serve as an alternative approach to improving the quality of English instruction, particularly in encouraging student-centered learning and active participation in the classroom.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of online media discourse on public opinion during the Bengkulu regional elections using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. The research focuses on the dominant narratives presented in online news and social media, highlighting themes such as economic development, political integrity, and candidates' personal character. Data were collected from multiple online platforms during the 2023 election campaign period, including major news websites and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The findings reveal that economic development narratives had the strongest impact on voter sentiment, with candidates emphasizing local growth receiving more positive responses. While concerns about political integrity were present, they did not significantly influence voter behavior. Personal character emerged as a crucial factor, particularly on social media, where voters engaged more with narratives of trust and relatability. This study contributes to understanding the role of media framing in regional elections, reinforcing previous research on the impact of localized issues on voter behavior. The findings offer practical insights for political communication strategies in regional contexts and highlight the need for media literacy to critically engage with media discourse.

Abstract

Speaking skills are a fundamental aspect of learning English as a foreign language, essential for academic and professional success. However, many students, especially in non-English-speaking environments, face difficulties in communication due to limited vocabulary, low confidence, and lack of practical speaking opportunities. This study explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing students’ English-speaking abilities at MTs YMPI Rappang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and an analysis of students’ speaking performance before and after PBL implementation. The results show that PBL significantly improved students’ speaking skills in terms of fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. Students became more motivated to speak and actively participated in classroom discussions and group projects. The collaborative nature of PBL fostered peer learning and provided students with authentic speaking experiences, enabling them to practice English in real-world contexts. This study highlights the potential of PBL as an effective method for improving speaking skills and recommends its broader application in language teaching to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

Students often struggle to distinguish words that look or sound similar but have different meanings. They also face challenges in using these words appropriately, leading to errors in comprehension and language use. This study aims to assess students' ability to differentiate the meanings of homonyms, homophones, and homographs, as well as to identify their level of accuracy and the difficulties they encounter in understanding and using these words in context. Using a qualitative approach, the research was conducted through comprehension tests, interviews, and observations of students. The findings indicate that while students have a basic understanding of these concepts, they still struggle to interpret meanings based on context, particularly with words that share similar pronunciation or identical spelling but have different meanings. Common errors were most frequently related to homophones, suggesting that students' listening and writing skills influence their ability to distinguish these words accurately. Additionally, confidence played a role in students’ responses, as those with higher confidence tended to provide clearer and more accurate answers. Based on these findings, this study recommends strengthening teaching methods that emphasize contextual understanding, improving listening and writing skills, and fostering a more supportive learning environment to help students better differentiate word meanings.
