Abstract

This experimental study investigates the impact of Project Strategy on the argumentative writing skills of eighth-grade students. The study aims to (1) evaluate the students' writing proficiency using Project Strategy, (2) assess their skills without this strategy, and (3) determine if Project Strategy significantly enhances their writing ability. The population consists of 120 students, with a sample of 60 students selected randomly. Data were collected through essay tests, and a pretest confirmed the groups' homogeneity. The experimental group's mean pretest score was 63.00, while the control group's was 53.50. Post-treatment, the experimental group's mean score improved to 73.33, indicating a good proficiency level, compared to the control group's 63.67, which was deemed adequate. Hypothesis testing showed a significant effect (tcount = 5.110, ttable = 2.002), suggesting that Project Strategy positively influences students' writing abilities. Based on these findings, it is recommended that English teachers adopt innovative strategies to improve writing skills, emphasizing the importance of effective paragraph construction in English education.

Abstract

The integration of innovative teaching methods into early education is crucial for creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Among these methods, IBL stands out for its potential to develop critical thinking, creativity, and active participation among students. This qualitative descriptive research investigates integrating IBL into English instruction at the elementary school level. The study explores teachers’ perspectives on incorporating inquiry-based methods, students’ experiences, and engagement with such approaches and identifies challenges and successes in implementing IBL. Data were collected and analyzed thematically through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that teachers view IBL positively, recognizing its potential to enhance critical thinking skills and student engagement. However, challenges such as time constraints and concerns about standardized testing were also identified. Students reported increased motivation and collaborative learning experiences through inquiry-based instruction. The study highlights the significance of IBL in promoting a deeper understanding of language concepts and fostering essential skills for 21st-century learners. Recommendations for future practice and research support further integrating inquiry-based methods into elementary English instruction.

Abstract

Research shows that PBL, which places students as active subjects in learning by emphasizing problem solving, provides better results in improving vocabulary understanding compared to conventional learning. Students who engage in PBL tend to have higher scores because they are actively involved in the learning process, where they are faced with challenging problems and given the opportunity to find their own solutions. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of the learning process, the use of learning models is crucial. The right learning model plays an important role in achieving educational goals. The purpose of this article is to compare conventional learning models and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in understanding Indonesian vocabulary. By using qualitative methods. However, there are several obstacles in implementing PBL, such as lack of familiarity of students and teachers with this model and time constraints. However, the effectiveness of a learning model does not only depend on the model itself, but is also influenced by various other factors such as student characteristics, the quality of teacher teaching, and school environmental conditions. Thus, selecting a learning model that suits students' needs and characteristics is the key to achieving effective learning goals and increasing understanding of Indonesian vocabulary.

Abstract

Modulation techniques are used when there is a gap in the lexical meaning of a translation, so a shift in semantic meaning is needed, such as a change in perspective, to avoid untranslatability in translation. This study analyzes the use of modulation techniques in translating Qur’anic kin?yah verses. Kin?yah is a figurative expression to describe something with a different meaning from its original. Therefore, translating kin?yah verses requires an in-depth understanding of the implicature hidden in the utterance. This study uses a qualitative approach with a content analysis method. The researcher will examine the content of the study of Qur’anic kin?yah verses and their translations from the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The research uses primary data sources in the form of Qur’anic kin?yah verses with a law theme due to differences of opinion among scholars and researchers. Then, the research analyzes the application of the modulation techniques and their implicature meaning based on relevance. The research finds that the Qur’anic kin?yah verses have shifted meaning from denotative to connotative, which aims to hide the original meaning and avoid inappropriate words. After analyzing the implicature meaning, it is found that the law-themed Qur’anic kin?yah verses contain majazi (connotative) meanings that refer to the meaning of intercourse as seven utterances, marriage as two utterances, and menstrual blood as one utterance. The shift in meaning has implications for better understanding and avoiding ambiguity in the translated text. Also, it contributes to the improvement of the readability and quality of translated Qur’anic verses.
