Abstract

On the Learning Achievement (known as “Capaian Pembelajaran”) of “Kurikulum Merdeka”, students are expected to be able to develop their skill in writing a variety of texts, including recount texts, as one of the competencies that they are expected to master. Writing is one of the competencies that students are required to master. In point of fact, the students face a wide variety of challenges when it comes to writing, including boredom, no relevant method, unenthusiastic, low confidence, old teaching media, and teaching monotonous. To give interesting media in teaching writing, the researchers use Padlet as learning media, because no teachers have used it yet, especially at this school. A quantitative methodology was used in the design of this research. Students in the tenth grade of TPFL 2 at SMK Negeri 7 Semarang were the focus of this particular piece of research. The Pre-Test, the Post-Test, and a questionnaire were the instruments that were utilized in this research. IBM SPSS 29 was used to perform the analysis, and it was also used to process the data. It is possible to draw the following conclusion from the findings: the implementation of Padlet media in the classroom may result in increased student participation and classroom collaboration. The students' writing abilities are significantly improved when they are taught writing through the use of Padlet on recount text. The results of this study have important implications for researchers, particularly those whose interests lie in the fields of education and language, as well as for English teachers as fundamental data for the enhancement of instructional media.

Abstract

English is considered a foreign language in Indonesia and must be learned by everyone, especially students.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the problems faced by teacher especially English teacher and to find solutions to the problems faced by teacher in English learning. This case study consists of interviews and observations and is supported by documentation. The researchers found that English teacher at SMPN 3 Satap Ngoro face problems in teaching English because the students are still very dependent on their environment using their local language, namely Madura so that English teacher must understand and understand Madura. The low interest of students in learning English can be overcome by using games or learning outside the classroom that makes them comfortable and happy. In addition, the lack of English learning facilities can be overcome by using the reference handbook that teacher have. Then, the lack of teacher training can also be overcome by substituting for teacher who do not have teaching hours. This researchers will help English teacher improve their English teaching skills especially at SMPN 3 Satap Ngoro as a rural school.

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to investigate student engagement in SCL (Student-Centered Learning) activities. The researcher focuses on four dimensions of engagement (cognitive engagement, behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and social engagement). A review of related literature suggests that those four dimensions matter in conducting English learning studies. In addition, student engagement plays a vital role in the teaching and learning process. A qualitative descriptive study had used to observe 35 students. The research utilized a semi-structured interview with four students to give a brief explanation. The data analysis of this research presents four dimensions of engagement in the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) as one of SCL in an English Language study. The result show that they engaged actively with the PjBL model. SCL's approach took part in their desire to adhere to learning activities. Furthermore, teachers as a facilitator make the learning process run dynamically. Accordingly, the findings of this research support the premise that student engagement optimizes learning and maximizes the learning outcome.
