Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study explores the speaking-related challenges reported by first-semester students in non-English study programs during a project to create English-language promotional videos for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The dataset consists of 35 written responses to five open-ended questions distributed in class, with seven responses per question. We identified five initial themes: diverse emotional responses and perceptions of the task; low linguistic confidence and fear of negative evaluation; peer support and uneven participation; reliance on scripts and preparation strategies; and managing performance demands during video production. Students reported employing various strategies, such as practising, memorising, recording themselves, utilising online pronunciation resources, and simplifying sentences.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study examined how first-year English Education students at an Indonesian university realised vowels and inflected word forms in recorded read-aloud submissions, and how these realisations related to their reading fluency. The question matters because pre-service teachers' read-aloud performance will serve as a pronunciation model for their future pupils, and errors produced fluently may go unnoticed by both reader and listener. Twelve recordings of a 109-word narrative passage, submitted through Google Classroom, were analysed using error analysis and descriptive fluency profiling. Fluency tended to run ahead of accuracy: six readers were placed higher on fluency than on accuracy, none showed the reverse, and most deviations were produced smoothly without self-correction. Deviations clustered in two areas: word endings carrying inflectional meaning, which were deleted (months → month) or replaced by the base form (left → leave), and vowels in high-frequency words, which were pronounced according to spelling (came → cam, seems → sems). Only the two weakest readers combined low accuracy with word-by-word reading. Teacher education programmes should teach inflected forms and spelling-to-sound vowel patterns explicitly, and assess accuracy and fluency separately so that fluent errors are not overlooked.
