Abstract

Interaction plays an important role in supporting language learning, especially in developing students’ classroom interaction. This study aimed to analyze the teacher’s interactional strategies in classroom discourse at MAS Hidayatul Quran Puding Besar. The participants were one of English teacher and 26 students of Grade XII IPA (Science). The data were collected through classroom observation during 2x45 minutes for 2 meetings and analyzed by using Walsh’s (2006) SETT Framework. The study used a qualitative approach to interpret the classroom discourse and a quantitative approach to describe the frequency of strategies.  The result showed that the teacher performed interaction strategies Display Question, Teacher Echo, and Extended-teacher Turn as the most frequently used. Extended-learner Turn, Confirmation Checks, Content Feedback, and Seeking Clarification were interaction strategies occasionally used. These findings imply that the teacher needs to use more interactional strategies to promote longer response and meaningful classroom talk.

Abstract

Developing EFL speaking remains challenging in many classroom contexts. This study examined the effect of interactive quizzes and games on eleventh-grade students’ speaking skills in an Indonesian Islamic boarding school. Using a pretest–posttest control group design, 30 students in two intact classes (n = 15 each) received four weeks (16 sessions) of either interactive quiz/game activities or traditional speaking instruction. Speaking performance (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and accuracy) was assessed using equivalent pre- and post-speaking tests. Shapiro–Wilk tests confirmed normality of difference scores (p > .05). Both groups improved, but gains were larger in the experimental group (pre: M = 36.00, SD = 17.55; post: M = 86.33, SD = 11.10) than in the control group (pre: M = 36.67, SD = 14.96; post: M = 46.67, SD = 24.18). Groups were equivalent at baseline, t(28) = 0.112, p = .912. Posttest scores differed significantly, t(28) = −5.775, p < .001, d = 2.109, indicating a very large practical effect. These findings suggest that interactive quizzes and games can substantially enhance EFL speaking performance compared with conventional instruction.
