It employed the theory of McCarty and O’Dell and an idiom dictionary to address the set research topics. This research employed qualitative descriptive research techniques. The data were gathered from students grade 12th. Then, they were analyzed by reducing and displaying information to draw conclusions. The result revealed that; 1) the six kinds of McCarty and O'Dell idiomatic idioms were discovered in the diaries: My Favorite Song. 2) the six categories of terms are Similes idioms (1%), Phrasal verb idioms (30%), Metaphorical idioms (32%), Aphorism idioms (30%), and Cultural and Historical idioms (7%). The most common form of idiomatic expression is a Fixed Statement idiom, which is the dominating idiom. On the other hand, simile idioms are the style of idiomatic expression that My Favorite Song. 3) the implied meaning of idiomatic can be deduced from the context of the statement in the diaries, idioms cannot be understood in just one word or phrase, so they must be understood as a whole in the context of one sentence or paragraph in order to understand the meaning of the original contextual. Therefore, it is suggested to the future researcher to enhance understanding of idiomatic expressions in English Department students, particularly through writing-by-writing diaries, by providing a valuable resource on frequency and contextual aspects.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a critical skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, especially in Indonesia, where English is a compulsory subject in junior high schools. However, many students struggle with understanding texts due to limited vocabulary, lack of exposure to authentic English, and conventional teaching methods that rely heavily on textbooks. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating BBC Learning English videos, combined with the PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) strategy, to enhance reading comprehension among seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Sukahaji, Majalengka. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 30 students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received video-based instruction, while the control group used conventional text-based methods. Data were collected using a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test and analyzed with descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, Levene’s test, and Independent samples t-test. The results show a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s reading comprehension scores (p = 0.001), indicating that BBC Learning English videos, when systematically integrated with reading strategies, can enhance students’ understanding, motivation, and engagement. This research contributes to the growing evidence supporting the use of multimedia in EFL classrooms and offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of using flashcards as a medium to enhance the English vocabulary of junior high school students. The research method employed is a quantitative approach, incorporating a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the research study were divided into two classes: an experimental class that received a treatment consisting of learning using flashcards, and a control class that did not receive the treatment and continued to learn using conventional methods. The instrument employed was a single-test, which was utilized to assess students' vocabulary skills following the culmination of the learning process. The findings of the data analysis demonstrated a substantial discrepancy in the vocabulary scores of students in the experimental and control classes. The utilization of flashcards as a learning aid has been demonstrated to yield higher test scores in comparison to learning without the use of media. This finding indicates that the utilization of flashcards is an effective strategy for enhancing junior high school students' English vocabulary acquisition. Consequently, flashcards emerge as a viable alternative learning strategy, characterized by its engaging, interactive nature, and ease of implementation in the context of English language instruction in schools.

Abstract

English speaking ability is an important skill that is still low among junior high school students in Indonesia, due to lack of practice, motivation, and interesting learning media. This study aims to test the effectiveness of speaking tasks that focus on self-introduction and description of favorite things in improving students' speaking ability. Using quantitative methods with quasi-experimental design, this study involved ten junior high school students selected by purposive sampling. The instrument in this study was a speaking test that measured fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehensibility. Data were analyzed to determine significant changes in students' speaking skills after the intervention. This study shows that self-introduction and description of favorite things-based learning tasks significantly improve junior high school students' English speaking ability. The statistical test results show a significant increase in Posttest scores compared to Pretest (p < 0.001), with an increase in student performance consistency. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the communicative and contextual task approach in developing speaking skills and increasing students' confidence in communicating.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Reciprocal Teaching (RT) in improving reading comprehension among vocational high school students in Majalengka, Indonesia. Grounded in Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), RT employs four metacognitive strategies—predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing—within collaborative learning structures. A quasi-experimental design was used involving 64 students divided into experimental and control groups. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess comprehension improvements. The experimental group, taught using RT, showed a statistically significant increase in scores compared to the control group, confirming RT's efficacy in enhancing comprehension skills. Findings support RT’s potential for broader adoption in Indonesian EFL classrooms to foster metacognitive awareness and independent learning.
