Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of English speaking learning in online and offline classes, focusing on the Intensive Course class at Gorontalo State University. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires and documentation of students’ GPA in speaking-related courses. The participants were students from the 2021 cohort (online learning) and 2022 cohort (offline learning). The study examined seven key components of speaking skills: fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, confidence, and engagement. The results indicate that students who experienced offline learning reported more positive perceptions across almost all components, attributing their improvement to real-time interaction, direct feedback, and active class participation. Meanwhile, students in online learning perceived improvement particularly in pronunciation and fluency, supported by independent practice and flexible access to digital resources, yet faced challenges in engagement and interaction. Despite these perception differences, the average GPA between the two groups was relatively similar. The findings, interpreted through Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, highlight the importance of social interaction and scaffolding in speaking skill development. Overall, offline learning was perceived as more effective in fostering speaking competence.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategic utilization of translanguaging within teacher-student interactional sequences to elicit and facilitate student responses in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom of SMA Negeri 11 Gorontalo Utara. Set within the rural, multi-ethnic educational context of Gentuma Village, which is deeply characterized by the local sociocultural philosophy of Huyula (mutual cooperation), this research challenges traditional monolingual biases in language pedagogy. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study design oriented towards classroom discourse analysis. The analysis strictly integrates Doff’s (2012) taxonomy of elicitation techniques encompassing questioning, visual aids, games, texts, and non-verbal cues, with contemporary translanguaging pedagogical frameworks. The results demonstrate that the teacher systematically orchestrates a sophisticated "symphony of languages," fluidly mobilizing English, Indonesian, Gorontalo, Javanese, Sanger, and Manado Malay to activate students' background knowledge, lower the affective filter, and prompt active verbal participation. Specifically, visual and game-based elicitation techniques proved highly effective when coupled with translanguaging, transforming the rigid Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) sequence into a collaborative, hybrid interactional space. The findings reveal that translanguaging elicitation is not a remedial necessity for linguistic deficits, but a culturally sustaining pedagogical strategy that leverages local linguistic repertoires to build global communicative competence. This study provides empirical evidence that validating multi-ethnic identities within the EFL classroom fosters an inclusive learning environment, significantly enhancing students' willingness to communicate and overall classroom interactional competence
