Abstract

Speaking is one of language skills taught but not tested in the national examination. It is fully to be prepared and administered by the schools in the school examination. However, the government and public did not have any data-based information about how the test of speaking was developed and administered. The current study investigates the ways the English teachers developed and administered the speaking test in the school-based assessment (SBA) in one of the private upper secondary levels of education in Garut, West Java. The selection of the school was done purposively with considering that the school is accessible by the researcher and A recognition for national accreditation. The result shows that the English teachers had different ways of developing and administering the speaking test. This study suggests that the government needs to design the national-based test specification developed by the experts in order to be used to measure whether the students have attained the competence standards for graduation.

Abstract

This study explores the efficacy of the Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) technique in enhancing reading comprehension among Junior High School students. Addressing a gap in traditional reading strategies, the research aimed to assess whether DRTA could improve comprehension of narrative texts for eighth graders at MTSN 2 Bandar Lampung. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study utilized pre-tests, post-tests, and student questionnaires to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The experimental group, which received DRTA instruction, showed significant improvements in post-test scores compared to their pre-test results, indicating enhanced comprehension skills. Qualitative feedback further revealed increased student engagement and motivation. The findings confirm that DRTA not only aids in comprehension but also promotes critical thinking and a deeper understanding of texts. Consequently, the study recommends the integration of DRTA into reading curriculums to meet contemporary educational demands and improve student learning outcomes effectively.
