This study aims to determine the impact of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by Google Sites on the writing skills of 11th-grade students at SMK Negeri 4 Tarakan. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi- experimental design involving 62 students from 11th-grade DKV 2 and 11th- grade DKV 3 classes. The 11th-grade DKV 2 class was designated as the experimental group, while the 11th-grade DKV 3 class served as the control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests focused on students' writing skills. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and a paired-samples t-test. The results showed that the average score of the experimental group increased from 73.39 on the pre-test to 78.23 on the post-test, representing an increase of 4.84 points. The results of the paired-samples t-test showed a statistically significant difference between the pre- test and post-test scores in the experimental group ( t = - 3.606 ; df = 30 p = 0.001 ) In contrast, the mean score of the control group increased from 75.81 to 77.26, but the difference was not statistically significant ( t = - 0.85 ; df = 30 p = 0.402 ) These findings indicate that the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by Google Sites has a positive and significant effect on the writing skills of 11th-grade DKV 2 students. Thus, the implementation of PjBL assisted by Google Sites can improve the writing skills of 11th-grade DKV 2 students.

This research aimed to determine the effect of implementing English-language Webtoons on the reading interest and reading ability of 11th-grade nursing students at SMK Kesehatan Kaltara Tarakan. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design in the form of a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research sample included 22 students selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of a reading interest questionnaire with 15 statements using a Likert scale and a reading ability test comprising 20 multiple-choice questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, a paired-sample t-test for normally distributed data, the Wilcoxon test for non-normally distributed data, and N-gain calculations. The results showed an increase in reading interest following the implementation of the Webtoon Trauma Center. The mean reading interest score increased from 53.48 on the pretest to 68.71 on the posttest, with a mean difference of 15.23. The results of the paired-sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. Reading ability also improved, with the mean score rising from 36.36 to 68.64. Improvements were observed in five reading skill indicators: finding factual information, identifying the main idea, understanding vocabulary, identifying references, and making inferences. Therefore, the implementation of the Webtoon Trauma Center could support improvements in students' interest and reading skills in English language learning, especially when accompanied by vocabulary support, structured reading activities, guidance, and appropriate classroom management.
