Abstract

The main objective of this study is to explore a study of Reading Aloud Strategy in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and its relevance in contemporary educational settings. This research specifically addresses the following objectives: to identify the implications of RA implementation, determine the most effective strategies for its application, and evaluate its effectiveness across different educational levels. Data in the form of articles retrieved through internet search engines at the last five years; between 2018 and 2022. Key search terms included "Reading Aloud," "EFL reading strategies," and "teaching reading comprehension." Articles were selected based on criteria such as publication type, accessibility, participant demographics, research methods, and their focus on RA in EFL contexts. Findings are categorized based on their contributions to answering the research questions, providing insights into the strategic implementation and outcomes of RA in various educational settings. The result reveals that the RA strategy continues to be a adaptable and valuable strategy in Teaching English. Educators are still encouraged to adapt RA methods to their specific classroom contexts, using both traditional and technological approaches to maximize student outcomes in reading comprehension and other learning objectives.

Abstract

Understanding the reasons behind Speech Difficulties and Language Interference is a very urgent matter to address amidst the ease of access to learning English. This study investigates the challenges faced by Indonesian university students majoring in English Education in speaking English fluently. Despite having completed more than six semesters, many still mix Indonesian and English during conversations and show reluctance to use English with peers. Through semi-structured interviews with ten students preparing for teaching internships, this research explores motivational, linguistic, and sociocultural factors contributing to their speaking difficulties. The findings reveal a lack of speaking confidence, limited exposure to English input, and negative perceptions about accent and dialect as primary obstacles. Moreover, external factors such as minimal digital access in rural areas and parental pressure to enrol in the English program significantly reduce students' motivation. This study calls for a re-evaluation of English language pedagogy in teacher training programs by integrating motivational and sociolinguistic awareness.
