Abstract

Andriasiwi, Atika Dyah. 2024. Gender Disparity Analysis In English Language Learning (A Comparative Study At Smp Negeri 1 Ngasem). Skripsi, English Education Department, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (I) Dr. Ima Isnaini Taufiqur Rohmah, M.Pd., (II) Ayu Fitrianingsih, M.Pd. Keyword: gender, receptive skill, English language learning Gender plays a significant role in the learning process, particularly in English language learning. It affects students' outcomes and can be influenced by behavior, biological characteristics, and societal conventions. Research has shown that men are more likely to prefer abstract conceptualization mode of learning, while female students have superior language skills compared to male students. Gender relations are both perceptual and material, and sociality is the process that shapes gender. Language skills are divided into receptive and productive skills. Receptive skills allow learners to hear and understand language without having to use it, while productive skills involve using what they have learned. Teaching receptive skills is challenging due to unknown methods students use. To improve listening skills, teachers should provide the right materials, engage in good discourse, use records, and offer a variety of examples of natural language from various sources. Research that researchers conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Ngasem Bojonegoro found that gender significantly affects students' English learning, particularly in receptive skills. The male class scored 68.65, indicating 'fairly good', while the female class scored 80.38, indicating 'good', and the mixed class scored 80 indicating ‘good’. The study highlights the importance of understanding the receptive skills of students in different genders to improve their English language learning.
