Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between seventh graders' self-esteem and their reading comprehension skills at SMPN 4 Kayuagung. From a total population of 268 seventh-grade students, 130 participants were selected through purposive sampling. The researchers employed a correlational research design, utilizing a questionnaire and a reading comprehension test for data collection. The self-esteem questionnaire was derived from the established framework of Bagheri and Faghih (2012), ensuring its relevance and accuracy in assessing students' self-perception. To validate the tools, both the questionnaire and the reading comprehension test were piloted with a separate group of students who were not included in the main sample. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results revealed a correlation coefficient (r-obtained = 0.778) that was significantly higher than the critical value (r-table = 0.176), with a p-value of 0.000, which is below the 0.05 significance threshold. These findings indicate a strong positive correlation between students' self-esteem and their reading comprehension abilities. This suggests that higher self-esteem is closely associated with better reading comprehension performance, highlighting the critical role self-esteem plays in students' academic success and their ability to process and understand written material. The implication is that self-esteem may influence a student's confidence, motivation, and persistence in academic tasks, which are essential factors in successfully understanding and interpreting texts.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the Busuu application on students' English vocabulary acquisition. The study population consisted of all seventh-grade students at SMPN 30 BATAM, totaling 430 students across ten classes. A random cluster sampling technique was employed to select 76 students, with 38 students in the experimental group and 38 in the control group. Data collection involved a pre-test and post-test, with validity ensured through established testing procedures. The data were analyzed using a t-test, with normality and homogeneity verified via the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the F-test, respectively. The experimental group received instruction using the Busuu application, while the control group did not. The analysis revealed that the significance value (sig. 2-tailed) was less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This indicates a significant effect of using the Busuu application on students' English vocabulary acquisition. Despite these findings, the study suggests that the Busuu application could still be a valuable tool for enhancing students' vocabulary knowledge.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to use extensive reading approaches to improve the reading and writing literacy of teenagers in Tanjung Gundap, Batam. With 25 participants, the study used a one-group pretest-posttest methodology and a quantitative pre-experimental design. The study's main objective was to assess how well the skimming technique—a crucial tactic in lengthy reading—improves literacy. Twenty-item pre- and post-tests were used to gather data, and paired sample t-tests were used to compare the outcomes before and after the intervention. With a p-value of 0.000, the data from the pre-test and post-test revealed a significant difference in the students' reading and writing abilities. The post-test findings showed a movement toward higher literacy categories, with more children earning high and very high literacy scores. Before the intervention, most students had moderate to low reading levels. This study shows that reading widely, and using skimming strategies in particular, can improve literacy. According to the results, structured reading programs can significantly enhance students' academic performance, especially in the areas of writing and reading comprehension. In order to improve student learning results, the study highlights how crucial it is to incorporate comprehensive reading strategies into instructional procedures.
