Abstract

The students in SMPN 1 Nglames had difficulties memorizing English vocabularies and their meaning, and the problem affects their motivation to follow the class. Thus, implementing the right strategy to teach vocabulary is needed to address the issues. Previous studies affirmed that semantic mapping becomes an effective strategy for teaching vocabulary; it helps students memorize, understand, and use vocabulary more quickly. Therefore, this study aimed at implementing a semantic mapping strategy to improve the eighth graders' vocabulary mastery at SMPN 1 Nglames in the academic year of 2019/2020. Classroom Action Research consisting of four steps; planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting was used. The implementation was conducted in two cycles since the criteria of success have not been achieved yet in cycle one. In cycle one, there were only 68% of students gained ten points on their vocabulary scores and only 60% actively engaged. However, in cycle two it improved. 88% students gained ten points on their vocabulary score, and 73% students were actively engaged during the implementation of semantic mapping. Therefore, it can be concluded that semantic mapping successfully improved the students' mastery of vocabulary and increased their involvement.

Abstract

The pilot study focuses on three issues: how to articulate the need for learning videos in the language course, how to design learning videos in the language course, and how to articulate the feasibility and practicality of learning videos in the language course at the Faculty of Letters, Muslim University of Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings of this study indicated that students required more engaging learning resources than books and presentation slides, one of which is a learning video packaged in animation to capture students' attention and motivate them to learn the content or material in the learning video. Language learning videos with material paragraphs are produced using the video animation concept, specifically whiteboard animation. This design was picked based on the animated video's attractiveness to the audience in order to pique their interest in the material or film after it is shown. The viability of learning videos as determined by validation results from media and material experts on newly designed Indonesian language learning films is extremely good. The video's form or presentation, as well as the content included inside, are adequate and sufficient to allow it to forward to the following stage, namely testing to ascertain the answers or replies of lecturers and students. The practicality of the learning videos, as determined by lecturers and students' reactions, is extremely good; there are no substantial barriers to lecturers and students using these learning videos.

Abstract

Translation is critical for second language acquisition in an EFL setting, much more so for people who cannot speak or understand a foreign language. Additionally, translation can aid in the educational process, particularly for elementary, junior high, and high school students. Students who are capable of precise translation will be more receptive to global knowledge, will improve their skills, and will have an open mind. Then they may think creatively and generate fresh insights and ideas. The purpose of this study is to determine the translation ability of Indonesian junior high school students when it comes to translating English ads. The current study adopts a qualitative descriptive methodology. The samples consisted of 25 grade VIII students from SMP Negeri 21 Medan. The findings discovered eight methods discussed and analyzed by the researchers. The results indicated that users of the literal method were the method which was most widely used by students with 96% of students using this method, and second was the free method with 88% of users, the third was the addition method with 72%, while fourth was the omission method with 36%, fifth position was the paraphrase method, and in the sixth to the eighth method was the explication method, the generalization method, and the concretization method respectively with each use of 0% or none used by students. The result of the research shows that the use of the literal method is more dominantly used by students and is easier to understand by students, and for other methods there are still some that have not been studied by students. Therefore, students need to continuously improve their English-speaking skills and increase their vocabulary. In addition, students also needed to learn the translation method as an important guide in carrying out translation activities.

This research revealed that all graduate students involved in this research have been familiar with the term ‘ICT’ and ‘learning autonomy’ in general. Furthermore, they have positive perceptions on the use of ICT for promoting learning autonomy during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the technologies and applications that they utilize during the Covid-19 pandemic are Google apps, LMS (Learning Management System), Reference Management Software (RMS), electronic devices, etc. Then, they also experience some opportunities which are getting to know applications, websites, and tools to support their learning, providing up to date materials, articles, information, and resources or references for their learning, and helping them to communicate or interact with their teachers and classmates.

Abstract

Oral story telling as an African tradition used in safeguarding and transferring values from one generation to another has come under serious threat as a result of the modernization and digitalization of the arts. These oral traditions, like folk stories, are sometimes told and performed under the moonlight games, but seem to be going extinct with the advent of digital platforms where children can watch only foreign content, thereby forgetting African didactic content which inculcates values in them. Using the performance of Rejected Blessing in a multimedia approach, this study sees the infusion of media elements as a catalyst in reinvigorating and sustaining African storytelling and also refreshing the interest of the theatre audience in watching live performances. The methodology of exploring the multimedia and the stage in presenting the play is the recommendation of this paper. This paper also recommends that the infusion of multimedia creates a new spice for children and theatre-goers who may have lost interest in African traditional stories due to the influence of new media. Finally, this study suggests more experimentation with multimedia in order to sustain the values of African storytelling.
