Environmental Education in Grammar Learning Process for Junior High School students by using Multifunctional English Learning Media (MELDe)

Abstract

The teaching and learning process is no longer what it used to be. If the learning process is not adapted to the times, students will not be interested and the learning process will be ineffective, likewise with learning English in Indonesia, especially in grammar learning process. The inadequacy of learning media has decreased student enthusiasm and motivation in learning grammar. Previous researchers have relied primarily on one learning model without combining it with other models. This situation can actually lead the students’ tedium because there is no combination of several learning models. Therefore, this paper presents MELDe (Multifunctional English Learning Devices) as a smart solution to overcoming this problem. This research used Research and Development Methodology with 20 islamic junior high school students randomly in Pekanbaru as the samples. The research has distributed the questionnaire and MELDe learning media demo video via Google Form and Youtube to obtain the data needed. The data analysis technique used qualitative data in a descriptive form that described the practicality of MELDe. The practicality observation for MELDe, which used the ADDIE model, aimed to observe the practicality of this learning media as an English learning tool, especially on grammar material. All scores in the assessment aspect have been calculated and got an average score of 77.2% in the 'practical' category. Therefore, MELDe is stated to be ‘practical’ for junior high school students in learning English grammar and can be boosted up the enthusiasm of students in learning process.
