Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study analyzed the types of sentences used in the Abstracts of Journal Articles written by 10 Female and 10 Male fully sourced from the Book Program of The First Annual International Seminar UNIMED Medan: November 19, 2016. Of the 195 sentences, 102 of which were written by females, and 92   by Males, all types of sentences are present. The occurrence of the types of sentence used by Females is Simple Sentence (50.1%), Complex Sentence (37.1%), Complex - Compound Sentence (6.8%),  and Compound Sentence (4.9%).  By Males , Simple Sentence  is (50.%), Complex Sentence (41%),  Compound Sentence  (5.4%) and Complex- Compound Sentence (3.3%). Thus, this proves that the frequency is only different in Complex-Compound, i.e. by Females in the third place, but by Males in the fourth and Compound in the third.  Overall, it can be concluded that gender has no relation with sentence types.Key Words: Types of sentence; Female and Male; Abstracts

Abstract

In higher education, cultivating effective speaking skills is crucial for preparing students to succeed in today's dynamic and interconnected world. Traditional teaching methods often fall short of engaging students and promoting active learning. This research explores the potential of interactive video as an innovative teaching medium to enhance speaking skills while incorporating the 4Cs - Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity - into the learning process. The results indicate that interactive videos significantly impact students' speaking proficiency, as evidenced by improved pre-and post-assessment scores. Moreover, students reported enhanced engagement and motivation during the learning process, attributing it to the dynamic nature of interactive video content, which leverages multimedia elements, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises. The results indicate that interactive videos significantly impact students' speaking proficiency, as evidenced by improved pre and post-assessment scores. Moreover, students reported enhanced engagement and motivation during the learning process, attributing it to the dynamic nature of interactive video content, which leverages multimedia elements, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises. Furthermore, incorporating the 4Cs into interactive video design demonstrated transformative effects on students' speaking skills. Integrating collaborative activities fostered teamwork and communication among students, while critical thinking was stimulated through decision-making scenarios embedded within the videos. Additionally, the creative aspect of the interactive videos encouraged students to express their ideas and opinions more freely, ultimately boosting their confidence in public speaking. The findings of this research contribute to the growing body of knowledge on innovative teaching practices and the role of technology in higher education.
