Abstract

This study explores the central role of speaking in second language acquisition (SLA), highlighting its importance in communication, intercultural interaction, and the development of communicative competence. The research aims to identify challenges learners face in developing oral proficiency and to evaluate pedagogical strategies that enhance speaking performance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through document analysis, the study reviews applied linguistics and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) literature published between 2015 and 2024. Findings indicate that learners frequently encounter obstacles such as language anxiety, limited opportunities for authentic practice, inadequate exposure to real-life communication, and an overemphasis on reading and writing in educational contexts. These challenges restrict fluency, accuracy, and learners’ willingness to communicate. Nonetheless, several strategies have proven effective in improving speaking skills. These include task-based learning, communicative classroom activities, targeted pronunciation training, integration of digital tools, and anxiety-reducing techniques. Additionally, supportive learning environments and peer collaboration are shown to boost learners’ confidence and engagement. The study concludes that speaking instruction in SLA should adopt an integrated approach that combines linguistic, psychological, and sociocultural support. Through communicative and technology-enhanced strategies, educators can strengthen learners’ fluency, reduce speaking anxiety, and foster effective language acquisition.

Abstract

This review examines the Korean drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo, which narrates the life of Woo Young-Woo, a lawyer with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The series portrays the unique challenges and abilities of individuals with ASD, combining social difficulties and limited empathy with exceptional memory and intelligence. The drama seeks to inspire audiences by illustrating Woo's journey towards independence while confronting societal stigma and prejudice. The objective of this review is to critically analyse the portrayal of ASD in the series, highlighting its role in shaping public perception and fostering greater understanding and empathy for individuals with autism. The data collection involved document analysis, including a detailed review of the drama’s episodes and a literature review on autism representation in media. This method enabled a comparison of the series' portrayal with existing studies and established characteristics of ASD. The analysis focused on the authenticity and sensitivity of the depiction, its adherence to or deviation from ASD traits, and its impact on public perceptions. The findings reveal that Extraordinary Attorney Woo successfully challenges stereotypes, promotes awareness, and provides an authentic representation of ASD. The drama emphasizes neurodiversity while showcasing the challenges and triumphs of individuals with autism. However, some dramatizations of ASD traits for narrative purposes were noted, highlighting the need for careful balance in future portrayals. In conclusion, Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a significant step towards fostering inclusivity and understanding. Recommendations include further collaboration with experts to ensure accuracy and continued focus on breaking stereotypes in media representations of autism.
