Abstract

The readiness of grade IX students of SMP in facing the national exam is still not optimal. It can be seen from the obstacles encountered by the students related to the amount of material being studied and the limited time available at school. Furthermore, the students are also still unfamiliar with the UN questions tested due to the lack of practice in discussing UN questions. This problem can be overcomed by providing training to students on the use of reading strategies to be applied in answering English UN questions. The subjects of this service program are grade IX students of SMP Negeri 4 Solok City who will take the national exam. The use of reading strategies is an approach to understand English texts that can be used in solving English UN questions. The method of implementing this service program is carried out through several stages, namely (1) giving try out to assess students' ability to answer UN questions, (2) giving guidance and training in using reading strategies in answering UN questions, and (3) giving final try out as evaluation of the implementation of community service activities. The results of this community service activity showed that students have broad insights on strategies to solve English National Examination questions. Students also become more enthusiastic and active in answering English UN questions. Besides that, students also get information that is very useful in preparing themselves as early as possible to face the national exam. Given the large benefits of community service activities, it is necessary to provide intensive and structured training for grade IX students of SMP on tips and tricks for answering English UN questions easily.

Abstract

The research addressed the issue of insufficient vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Kubung during the 2022/2023 academic year. The students' limited proficiency in vocabulary was attributed to factors such as rote memorization and the lack of diverse instructional media. Consequently, pop-up books were selected as a teaching medium to investigate their impact on students' vocabulary mastery. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, and the population comprised 94 eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Kubung for the 2022/2023 academic year. Cluster random sampling was utilized to select a sample of 63 students, with 31 assigned to the experimental group and 32 to the control group. The experimental and control groups were determined through a random draw. The pre-test score averaged 32.68, but it significantly increased to 70.41 after the intervention. Analysis using an independent samples T-test indicated that pop-up books had a more substantial impact compared to traditional pictures. The rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) suggested a significant positive effect of using pop-up books as a teaching medium on students' vocabulary mastery in the eighth grade at SMPN 1 Kubung for the 2022/2023 academic year. Based on the findings, it is recommended that teachers consider this research when exploring a broader range of teaching media to enhance student engagement in vocabulary learning. Furthermore, future researchers are encouraged to explore additional avenues for improvement and refinement based on the insights gained from this study.
