(MASTER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION POST GRADUATE PROGRAM UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH PURWOREJO, 2025-08-23) Riya Hanita Sari
This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) to investigate the effectiveness of Mind Mapping in improving students’ English speech performance and to examine their perceptions of its use as a learning strategy. The participants were 15 ninth-grade students of SMP Darul Hikmah Kutoarjo Islamic School in the academic year 2024/2025. Data were collected through observation sheets, performance tests, questionnaires, and interviews. The research was conducted in two cycles, with two meetings in each cycle. The students’ average score increased from 60.33 in the Pre- cycle test to 68.33 in Post-test Cycle 1, and further to 81.00 in Post-test Cycle 2. Based on aspects of speech analysis, Fluency showed the greatest improvement, rising from 34 to 44 and then to 55, with a total gain of 21 points. Meanwhile, Vocabulary demonstrated significant progress, increasing from 35 to 44 and then to 54, with a total gain of 19 points. Guided step by step through Buzan’s framework of Mind Mapping, students showed notable progress, with the level of teaching effectiveness improving from a score of 8 to 9, indicating a shift from “Good” to “Excellent.” Questionnaire findings further supported these results: out of 75 responses, 70 (93.3%) were positive and 5 (6.7%) were neutral, with no negative responses. Interview results suggest that students hold positive perceptions of Mind Mapping and acknowledge its benefits in enhancing their speech performance. Overall, students’ perceptions shifted from initial uncertainty and unfamiliarity toward acceptance and appreciation.

(MASTER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION POST GRADUATE PROGRAM UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH PURWOREJO, 2025-08-30) Niken Sulistyo Wardhani
This study investigates the vocabulary presentation, vocabulary complexity, and verb tense usage in the English for Nusantara textbook designed for grade seven. The purpose of this research is to examine whether the vocabulary and grammatical features presented in the textbook align with the linguistic needs of junior high school learners. The study employs content analysis using both manual examination and computational application, specifically Lextutor’s VocabProfiler, to identify the frequency levels and distribution of vocabulary across the textbook. In addition, the analysis focuses on the presentation and variation of verb tenses to determine their appropriateness for beginner- level learners. The findings reveal that while the textbook provides a foundation of high- frequency vocabulary suitable for junior learners, the distribution across chapters remains uneven, with some sections containing complex vocabulary. Similarly, the use of verb tenses is dominated by the simple present tense. The results suggest that although the textbook fulfills its role as an introductory resource, teachers are encouraged to supplement it with additional vocabulary practice and tense activities to ensure balanced language input. This study highlights the importance of evaluating teaching materials to maintain both accessibility and adequacy for EFL learners.
Cultural Influences on Communication Context: An Analysis of Communication Variables in Baz Luhrmann’s Movie Baz Luhrmann’s Movie the Great Gatsby and Implications for Teaching Speaking
(ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION POST GRADUATE PROGRAM UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH PURWOREJO, 2025-08-30) SURATNO
This study examines communication patterns in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby (2013), focusing on formality/informality, assertiveness/harmony, and power distance, and how these variables reflect cultural values, including moral decay and the hollowness of the upper class. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyses dialogues, verbal exchanges, and nonverbal cues to explore how social hierarchy and cultural norms shape communication. The findings indicate that formality/informality is shown through word choice, tone, and politeness strategies, with Gatsby using formal and polite speech, while Myrtle and Tom use blunt, informal language. Assertiveness/harmony is reflected in characters’ approaches to expressing opinions and maintaining relationships: Tom is direct and assertive, Daisy maintains harmony, and Gatsby often communicates indirectly. Power distance emerges as the most dominant variable, guiding interactions between “old money” and “new money” characters and reflecting social hierarchy and cultural norms. Moral decay appears in arrogant, racist, and transactional language, while hollowness is revealed in superficial speech, materialistic displays, and emotionally empty interactions. Pedagogically, these communication patterns support teaching speaking skills by providing authentic material for modelling real-life conversations, politeness strategies, and cultural adaptation, helping learners develop practical and culturally aware communicative competence.
ENHANCING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS IN DESCRIPTIVE TEXT THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ASSEMBLR EDU AT THE SEVENTH-GRADE OF SMP NEGERI 2 PURWOREJO IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2024/2025
(MASTER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION POST GRADUATE PROGRAM UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH PURWOREJO, 2025-08-23) Edi Purnomo
This study investigates the implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) using Assemblr EDU to enhance students’ speaking skills in descriptive text. While previous studies have explored technology integration in language learning, limited attention has been given to AR-based applications in speaking classrooms. This research applies Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants were 31 seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Purworejo. Data were collected through speaking tests, observation sheets, questionnaires, and interviews, then analyzed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The speaking test rubric measured five aspects: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension. Quantitative findings showed continuous improvement across cycles, with the mean score rising from 70.13 in the pretest to 77.03 in Cycle I and 79.74 in Cycle II. The percentage of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM ≥ 75) also increased significantly, from 22.58% in the pretest to 70.97% in Cycle I, and finally to 100% in Cycle II. Qualitative results revealed that Assemblr EDU enhanced student motivation, confidence, and classroom engagement. Students reported that the 3D AR media helped them visualize objects of description, enrich vocabulary, and reduce speaking anxiety, while peer feedback and video-based self-assessment encouraged reflective learning. The findings suggest that Assemblr EDU is effective in enhancing students’ speaking performance in descriptive text. However, technical issues such as internet stability and students’ initial unfamiliarity with AR technology were identified as challenges. This study recommends the integration of AR-based learning tools to foster interactive, engaging, and student-centered speaking activities. Future research may explore long-term applications of AR across different skills and educational contexts
