Abstract

The Kampus Mengajar Program is part of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy which provides opportunities for prospective teacher students to be directly involved in improving the quality of education in elementary schools. This study aims to explore how pre-service teachers describe their experiences in overcoming challenges in improving students' literacy while participating in the Kampus Mengajar 7 program. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving five students who have participated in the program. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and documentation. The results showed that students faced various challenges at school, such as low student interest in reading, limited learning media, and a shortage of English teachers. To address these challenges, students designed a needs-based literacy program that is fun and relevant, such as routine reading before lessons, reading corners, and the use of digital media such as Canva, Wordwall, and YouTube. Individual and group strategies were also implemented to make students more active and enthusiastic. Besides having an impact on improving students' literacy, involvement in this program also contributes to the development of students' pedagogical, social and technological competencies as prospective teachers. However, the sustainability of the program still depends on school support and teacher involvement. These findings show that the Kampus Mengajar not only has a positive impact on students, but also serves as a real learning platform for students in preparing themselves as professional educators in the future.

Abstract

Speaking ability is an essential skill in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), set many students still struggle to express themselves due to a lack of confidence and speaking anxiety. Although various studies have examined storytelling techniques as a learning strategy to improve speaking skills, most have focused on classroom contexts and have not specifically explored how storytelling competitions impact students’ confidence and speaking anxiety outside the classroom. This study aims to investigate how participation in storytelling competitions can influence students’ confidence in speaking English, reduce speaking anxiety, and identify the factors that affect students’ confidence after participating in such competition. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with semi-structured interview and documentation methods. The subjects of the study are three junior high school students who actively participate in storytelling competitions. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques based on the six phases proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006). The findings demonstrate that self-confidence develops through four main sources of self-efficacy proposed by Bandura (1977). First, mastery experience emerged as the strongest factor, where repeated participation gradually reduced students’ nervousness and built their belief in their ability to perform. Second, vicarious experience from observing peers provided both motivation and learning opportunities that encouraged self-improvement. Third, verbal persuasion in the form of support and appreciation from teachers, parents, and peers played a crucial role in strengthening students’ confidence. Finally, although students initially experienced nervousness and anxiety, these feelings transformed into pride and satisfaction after performing, showing the importance of emotional regulation in public speaking. Overall, storytelling competitions not only reduce students’ speaking anxiety but also enhance their confidence, fluency, and readiness to use English in real communication contexts.
