Abstract

Although speaking is an important skill in English learning, many EFL students still struggle to express their ideas because of limited vocabulary and low confidence. This study aimed to develop and implement interactive learning media to support students’ speaking skills and classroom engagement. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ASSURE instructional design model. The media focused on the topic Describing Physical Appearance and was implemented in a tenth-grade class consisting of 21 students at an Islamic senior high school in Malang. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, documentation, and student response questionnaires. During the implementation, most students participated actively in the activities and were willing to take part in classroom discussions. They were more confident in speaking English and interacted more often with their classmates. Students also gave positive responses to the activities and were more willing to use English during classroom interactions. Overall, the results suggest that the use of ASSURE-based interactive media helped students practice speaking more actively and made the learning process more engaging.

Abstract

This study investigates speaking anxiety among second-year EFL students in online learning contexts by analyzing four main dimensions: their emotional responses, the factors that provoke anxiety, its impact on speaking performance, and the strategies they use to manage it. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study gathers data through interviews with fifteen students who have previously engaged in online English-speaking activities. The results show that the experience of speaking anxiety differs across individuals. While some students feel more comfortable in virtual classes because the lack of direct eye contact helps reduce pressure, others report heightened anxiety due to insufficient preparation, poor internet connectivity, limited vocabulary, or fear of errors and negative judgment. These influences shape students’ fluency and concentration during speaking tasks. To deal with anxiety, students employ various strategies, such as preparing their material beforehand, calming themselves before speaking, using humour to ease tension, or utilizing supporting tools like digital prompters. The lecturer’s behaviour also plays a crucial role, as supportive and expressive instructors tend to create a more relaxed atmosphere, whereas less engaging teaching styles can intensify stress. Online learning environments may either lessen or heighten anxiety depending on classroom management and learners’ readiness. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to foster a supportive and comfortable learning space to enhance students’ confidence in speaking.
