The lack of knowledge among students in reading cursive letters and copying simple sentences into cursive letters has led to low writing skills in second-grade students at SD Negeri 11 Bahagia. This indicates the importance of implementing an approach that can enhance their writing skills. One alternative that can be implemented is the use of card media. Card media is considered effective because it provides visual stimulation that helps students recognize and correctly write cursive letters.

The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), which allows for direct evaluation in each learning cycle. The subjects of this study are second-grade students at SD Negeri 11 Bahagia Panti. Before the action was implemented, the average score of students in the pre-action activities was 60, indicating the need for improvement. In the first cycle, the average score increased to 75, with a completion percentage of 55%. Although there was an improvement, it did not yet reach the expected target. After continuing to the second cycle, the students' average score further increased to 81.2, with a completion percentage reaching 84%. This shows that the use of card media successfully improved students' writing skills and that the target set had been achieved.

This study comprehensively investigated the gap in English tense mastery among non-English students. Data were collected using a qualitative case study methodology from seven purposively selected informants through in-depth interviews and direct observation. Key findings reveal persistent challenges, including significant anxiety around using complex tenses, the widespread influence of mother tongue interference (given the absence of explicit tense conjugations in Indonesian), and the limited effectiveness of traditional non-contextual grammar teaching. The observations also highlight a critical gap: although students use digital devices extensively, their engagement with English content is minimal, directly contributing to lower writing and speaking practice assessment scores. Instead, the unexpected finding was the student's remarkable ability to internalize the 16th pattern of the English tenses through memorization in just thirty minutes. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovative, contextual, and confidence-building pedagogical strategies to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application, enhancing language acquisition and professional communication skills.
