Abstract

Many university students experience difficulties in academic English speaking due to limited vocabulary, grammatical problems, nervousness, and the need to convey ideas clearly. To cope with these challenges, students often switch between English and Bahasa Indonesia during speaking activities. This study aims to examine the frequency of code-switching in academic speaking and to identify the main factors influencing its use among EFL university students. This study employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 32 third-semester students in an English for Public Speaking course at Tadulako University. Data were collected through a 20-item questionnaire covering linguistic, psychological, communicative, and social factors, supported by semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that code-switching occurs very frequently, with 96.88% of students reporting frequent use. Linguistic factors were the most dominant, followed by social and communicative factors, while psychological factors had the lowest influence. Interview data confirmed that students use code-switching to maintain fluency, clarify meaning, and support interaction. Overall, code-switching is a common and strategic practice that helps students manage academic speaking challenges in multilingual EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the dictogloss technique in improving the listening comprehension of eighth grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu during the 2024/2025 academic year. Employing a pre-experimental quantitative design, the study involved all 25 students from the target class as participants. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test instruments, each comprising 10 fill-in-the-blank and 10 multiple-choice questions focused on narrative texts as a test. Dictogloss technique was implemented as the intervention, where students listened to passages, took notes on key points, and collaboratively reconstructed the texts. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in students’ listening comprehension, with the mean score rising from 51.40 (pre-test) to 75.00 (post-test). The Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed normal data distribution, and paired sample t-tests indicated the improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that dictogloss not only improves students’ ability to recognize spoken words and understand main ideas but also increases engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and collaborative skills. The study concludes that integrating the dictogloss technique into classroom instruction is an effective strategy for improving listening comprehension among junior high school students learning English as a foreign language.

Abstract

Speaking self-efficacy plays a crucial role in EFL learners’ oral performance, as it influences confidence, anxiety management, and willingness to communicate. Despite the growing integration of artificial intelligence in language learning, empirical studies exploring students’ perceptions of AI voice-based tools, particularly ChatGPT Voice, remain limited in the Indonesian EFL context, especially among English major students. This study aims to investigate English Education students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT Voice and examine how it contributes to their speaking self-efficacy. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through preliminary observation interviews and in-depth semi-structured interviews with seventh-semester English Education students at Tadulako University. The findings reveal that ChatGPT Voice positively influences students’ speaking self-efficacy by increasing confidence, reducing speaking anxiety, improving fluency and vocabulary, and enhancing motivation and enjoyment. Despite minor technical challenges, students generally perceived the tool as supportive and effective. This study concludes that ChatGPT Voice serves as a valuable supplementary tool for fostering speaking self-efficacy in EFL contexts.
