The formulation of the problem in this study is whether there is a correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and their ability to translate English texts into Indonesian at MAS Al-Barokah Kolese students. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and their ability to translate English texts into Indonesian at MAS Al-Barokah Kolese students. Data collection in this study was carried out using a research instrument in the form of a test to students to determine the correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and their ability to translate English text into Indonesian. This research is a quantitative research. The subjects of this study were 27 grade 10 students of MAS Al-Barokah Kolese. Data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 22.0. Based on the results of research and data analysis, it was concluded that there was a correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and their ability to translate English texts into Indonesian from grade 10 students at MAS Al-Barokah Kolese. This conclusion is based on the results of statistical analysis which found a significance level of 0.996 with an r table value of 0.381. The rxy value is greater than the r table value (0.996> 0.381) and the significance value is less than (0.5) or in other words the Null hypothesis (HO) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted.

The purpose of this study was to describe the proficiency level of English for Foreign Language (EFL) students based on their TOEFL scores. The samples for this descriptive quantitative study consisted of 30 English Education Department students from Syiah Kuala University and Ar-Raniry State Islamic University. The scores gathered from the organised TOEFL test were analysed according to the CEFR reference levels to categorise the English proficiency level of the students. The total TOEFL scores gathered showed that, on average, the students placed in the B1 (intermediate) level of English proficiency. Individually, there were four students in the A2 (elementary) level, 15 students in the B1 (intermediate) level, ten students in the B2 (upper intermediate) level, and one student in the C1 (advanced) level of proficiency. Regarding the skills proficiency, on average, the students achieved the B2 (upper intermediate) level in the first section, which was higher than the remaining two sections that averaged on the B1 (intermediate) level. The students’ proficiency levels found in this study showed that, on average, they were able to pass the universities’ TOEFL graduation requirement but still fall short for abroad scholarship admission.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) technique enhances students' reading comprehension. The data used in this study were gathered using a library research methodology. Some of the literature sources used in this study included books and journals. The steps involved in the data analysis technique are data identification from pertinent literature sources, location identification, data acquisition, data evaluation, and data incorporation into the research presentation. The findings of this study demonstrate that students' reading comprehension abilities increased after receiving treatment with the DRTA technique employing its three fundamental steps (Predicting, Reading, and Proving). The students' test results supported the findings, and the application of the DRTA technique can assist pupils in resolving their reading difficulties. In conclusion, the DRTA approach is regarded as a successful teaching method that helps raise students' reading comprehension abilities.

The purpose of this research was to explore students' behavioral engagement in the classroom and the factors that affect it. This research was approached using an explorative descriptive qualitative study., involving teachers and students in two classes at the first grade of a senior high school in Langsa, Indonesia. The classes were taught by two English teachers, and 57 students were involved. The instruments used in this research were observations, questionnaires and focus group discussions with teachers and students. The results of this study indicate that most students paid serious attention to the lesson, put their best effort to focus on the teaching and learning process, and complete assignments. In addition, the students were active in asking questions, giving opinions, and participating in group discussion. The results of this study also show that the most dominant factor in influencing students 'engagement was the teachers' support factor, followed by class structure and school level factors. Therefore, it is suggested that English teachers and school provide best support to students, and they establish good class structure in terms of class size and situation to improve students’ engagement.
