Abstract

Speaking is widely considered one of the most challenging skills for both university and high school learners, not primarily due to limited grammar or vocabulary, but because of psychological barriers such as fear of making mistakes and low self-confidence. This community service program, entitled “No Grammar, No Cry: Encouraging Confident English Communication,” aims to address these challenges by shifting learners’ focus from grammatical perfection to meaningful communication. The program was implemented through interactive workshops, peer conversation sessions, confidence-building games, real-life communication simulations, and mentoring activities to create a supportive and low-anxiety learning environment. A qualitative approach was employed to explore participants’ experiences, perceptions, and mindset changes during the program. Data were collected through participant reflections, observational notes, and informal discussions. The findings reveal that participants demonstrated increased willingness to speak, reduced speaking anxiety, and improved fluency and confidence in expressing ideas. In addition, learners developed a more positive attitude toward making mistakes, recognizing them as part of the learning process. Overall, the program highlights the importance of collaborative learning and experiential practice in fostering communicative competence. It also contributes to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-life communication, while promoting learner autonomy, sustained motivation, and adaptive communication skills.

Abstract

This study investigates university students’ perceptions of ChatGPT as a speaking partner in English-speaking practice. Employing a qualitative research design, the study involved English major students at Horizon University Indonesia who engaged in ChatGPT-assisted speaking activities for four weeks. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals and analyzed using thematic analysis to examine students’ perceptions, perceived benefits and challenges, and the impact of ChatGPT on their motivation and speaking confidence. The findings reveal that students generally perceived ChatGPT as a helpful, accessible, and non-judgmental speaking partner. Its use provided increased opportunities for speaking practice, facilitated vocabulary development, and offered immediate feedback, which contributed positively to students’ motivation and confidence. Nevertheless, challenges were identified, including limited emotional interaction, occasional unnatural responses, and difficulties in sustaining extended contextual conversations. Overall, the study concludes that ChatGPT can function as an effective supplementary tool in English-speaking practice, particularly when integrated with appropriate pedagogical guidance to support EFL learners’ oral communication in higher education.
