Improving Students Interest In Learning Simple Present Tense By Using Jumble Words Media At The Eight Graders Of MTs Ar Risalah Kepil Wonosobo

The lack of student enthusiasm in learning English, particularly when it comes to simple present tense material, is a challenge that teachers frequently face. This phenomena motivates scholars to investigate and discover the optimal way to solve these challenges. In this study, eighth-grade students from MTs Ar Risalah Kepil Wonosobo served as subjects. This study employed the three-cycle classroom action research methodology. Several methods, including tests (pre-test and post-test), observation, questionnaires, and interviews, were used to collect data for the study. Researchers employed a pre-test, a post-test, and observations to establish the amount of the impact or influence of employing jumble word media as a medium for learning. Based on the results of the pre-test, post-test I, post-test II, and post-test III, there was a rise in the average student's interest in studying English, particularly in the simple present tense material. Pre-cycle 48.3, cycle I 64.6, cycle II 69.7, and cycle III 72.0. In addition, students become more engaged in the learning process, indicating that the use of jumbled words as a learning tool can increase student interest in learning, hence influencing learning outcomes.
