Enhancing Students’ Linguistic by Using Colourful Semantics Game

This research aimed to enhance students' writing skills by incorporating colorful semantics. The primary objectives were to improve sentence construction among pupils and to enhance the researcher's teaching methods in sentence construction. The study involved 28 students (12 males and 16 females) at elementary school in Kotapinang. Data collection included pre- and post-writing tests, student work, and the teacher's reflective journal. The researcher introduced colorful semantics following the sequence of 'who,' 'what doing,' 'what,' and 'where.' The findings revealed that colorful semantics significantly contributed to students' sentence construction by improving their understanding of words in each sentence part and facilitating correct sentence order. The pre- and post-intervention language measures were analyzed quantitatively, including the comparison of means and standard deviations at a group level and the change in the test scores at an individual level. The statistical significance of the difference in scores post-intervention was analyzed via paired t-tests (SPSS).
