The Effect of Possible Sentence Strategy on Students in The Eighth Grades's Abilty to Master Vocabulary
Full text linkThe goal of the study was to determine whether the Possible Sentences Strategy had a substantial impact on eighth-graders ability to master vocabulary. A quasi-experimental design was used for the study. There were 82 pupils in the eighth population of the study. Then, using the Cluster Sampling Technique, the researcher chose the study's sample, which included 60 pupils. The researcher conducted pre-tests in the control and experimental groups before beginning therapy. The control group's mean score was 56.50 with a L count of 0.1269, while the experimental group's mean score was 51 with a L count of 0.1403 and a L table of 0.16. As a result, the pre-test results for the experimental group and control group were reported as having a Normal Distribution. The next step was to look at uniformity. F table = 1.86 and F count = 1.09, according to pre-test computation. A homogenous pre-test result was reported. In both the control and experimental groups, the researcher conducted a post-test after the therapy. The experimental group's mean score was 80.83 while the control group's mean score was 64 with a L count of 0.1032 and a L table of 0.1545. The post-test findings of the control and experimental groups were thus reported as having a Normal Distribution. The next step was to look at uniformity. F count = 1.45 and F table = 1.86 were calculated based on the post-test results. A homogenous post-test result was reported. A hypothesis test was then conducted by the researcher. Table was obtained as follows: t1/2(dk) = t0.025(72) = -2.002; t count = 4.98. It means that t count (4.98) did not exist between interval -2.002 to 2.002 (-2.002 ≤ t ≤ 2.002). So, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of the Possible Sentences Strategy on the students’ ability to Mastering Vocabulary
The Elementary Graders' Description of Their Ability to Write Analytical Exposition Text
Full text linkWriting is the process of putting thoughts into words on a piece of paper and presenting them to the reader. A spoken or written text that aims to persuade the audience or readers of something—either pro or con, depending on the situation—is an analytical exposition text. The purpose of the research was to describe the students' writing abilities and the factors that affect them in order to understand their capacity for producing analytical exposition texts. Using a Hymp-Lyons scoring rubric, which includes Thesis Statement, Arguments, and Reiterations, the students' performance on the test was evaluated.The research employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. Following Gay et al.'s recommendations for reading and taking notes, characterizing the environment, and categorizing research data, the analysis of the data was carried out in this manner. The class XI-MIPA students, which had 20 students, served as the research's informants. Data has been collected through student workbooks and interviews with English teachers and students.After conducting the analysis of students’ analytical exposition text, the result showed that 14 students (70%) were able to write an analytical exposition text, and only 6 students (30%) were not able to write an analytical exposition text. After conducting the analysis of students’ answer in interview sheets, the result showed that a lot of different factors affected the result of their writing. In the final analysis, the majority of XI-MIPA students were able to write analytical exposition texts with a solid generic structure due to a number of key factors, including their background knowledge of the subject, the depth of their understanding of analytical exposition texts, and how well they applied the writing process in their work.
 
The relationship between metalinguistic awareness and reading fluency in elementary school children: The mediating role of character recognition and vocabulary knowledge
No full textReading is an important skill and an effective way for individuals to obtain information. In the field of reading development, reading fluency, as an essential indicator of children’s reading ability development, has gradually attracted researchers’ attention. According to the Multidimensional View of Reading Fluency, reading fluency involves integrating cognitive skills related to reading, such as phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, and morphological awareness. The processing of low–level cognitive skills is an integral part of reading fluency. In addition, Chinese character recognition and vocabulary knowledge at the word level also play a vital role in children’s reading fluency development. However, few studies have explored the possible relationship between metalinguistic awareness, Chinese character recognition, vocabulary knowledge, and reading fluency. Therefore, to comprehensively investigate the predictive factors and mechanism of the low–grade primary school children’s reading fluency, the study intended to incorporate phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, and morphological awareness into a systematic model to explore the relationship between three metalinguistic awareness and reading fluency, and the mediating role of Chinese character recognition and vocabulary knowledge. 149 primary school children were followed up three times a year, with their phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, and morphological awareness measured at Time 1 (fall semester of Grade 1), Chinese character recognition and vocabulary knowledge at Time 2 (spring semester of Grade 1), and word reading fluency and silent reading fluency at Time 3 (fall semester of Grade 2). In addition, rapid naming and general cognitive ability were all measured as control variables at Time1 (fall semester of Grade 1). Spearman correlation analysis was established to investigate the correlation between variables. The structural equation model (SEM) was established to investigate the predictive effect of metalinguistic awareness on reading fluency and the mediating role of Chinese character recognition and vocabulary knowledge. The results showed that: (1) phonological awareness directly predicted word reading fluency. (2) orthographic awareness not only directly predicted word reading fluency and silent reading fluency but also predicted word reading fluency and silent reading fluency through Chinese character recognition. (3) Morphological awareness significantly predicted silent reading fluency in second grade, promoted word reading fluency through Chinese character recognition, and indirectly predicted silent reading fluency through the mediating role of Chinese character recognition and vocabulary knowledge. The findings provide a reference basis for systematically investigating the relationship between metalinguistic awareness and reading fluency among Chinese children and provide theoretical guidance for improving children’s reading fluency skill
