    SPEECH ACT AND POLITENESS STRATEGIES USED BY STUDENT OF SMAN 2 KEBUMEN IN ONLINE DEBATE COMPETITION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION FOR TEACHING HORTATORY EXPOSITION TEXT
    (MASTER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION POST GRADUATE PROGRAM UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH PURWOREJO, 2025-05-17) Tri Puji Astuti
    This study investigates the use of speech acts and politeness strategies in online English debate competitions, focusing on student of SMAN 2 Kebumen. Communication in debate involves not only the exchange of arguments but also the application of pragmatic competence, where speech acts and politeness become essential tools in achieving effective interaction. Guided by Searle’s taxonomy of speech acts and Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, this research aims to identify the types of speech acts produced, examine the politeness strategies applied, and explore their implications for teaching hortatory exposition text. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected from recorded online debate performances, transcriptions, and field notes. The analysis revealed that students produced a variety of speech acts including assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations, with assertives being the most dominant. Politeness strategies such as positive politeness, negative politeness, and bald-on-record expressions were also evident, indicating students’ efforts to maintain respect and cooperation in virtual interactions. The findings highlight that online debate provides a meaningful context for developing students’ critical thinking, linguistic performance, and communicative competence. Furthermore, the integration of speech act and politeness analysis into classroom practice offers valuable pedagogical insights for teaching hortatory exposition text. This research contributes both theoretically, by enriching the study of pragmatics in digital settings, and practically, by supporting teachers and students in enhancing effective and polite communication in academic discourse.

    (MASTER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION POST GRADUATE PROGRAM UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH PURWOREJO, 2025-08-30) Dwi Juliastuti
    This study aims to explore how well lesson study works to enhance the creativity of teachers in secondar school. Lesson study, a professional development practice originating from Japan, involves collaborative planning, observing, and analyzing learning and teaching in 'research lessons.' This participatory and reflective process fosters a supportive environment where teachers can innovate and refine their pedagogical techniques. The research observed three English teachers from The State Junior High School 5 Kebumen. The investigation employed Case Study Approach design to investigate how engaging in lesson study impacts teachers' ability to devise creative instructional strategies, thereby enhancing students engagement and learning outcomes. A case study research is a qualitative research method that involves an in-depth, contextual analysis of a specific instance or event, known as a ‘case’ The findings suggest that lesson study not only promotes professional growth among educators but also leads to a more dynamic and stimulating classroom environment. By integrating collaborative reflection and continuous improvement, lesson study emerges as an essential instrument for fostering creativity and improving the overall quality of secondary education.

    Content Analysis of Vocabulary Complexity and Verb Tense Of English For Nusantara Textbook for Grade Seven Utilizing Lextutor VocabProfiler
    (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.

    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
