Abstract

This study aimed to determine the role and effectiveness of collaborative learning in enhancing the English speaking abilities of class X students at MAN 1 Situbondo. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews with English teachers, and the distribution of questionnaires to students. The results of the study indicated that collaborative learning enhanced students' speaking fluency, vocabulary mastery, and self-confidence. Group discussions applied in learning created an environment that supported and encouraged students to be more active in participating in speaking English. Most students responded positively to this method, with the majority feeling more motivated, practicing speaking more often, and experiencing enhancements in pronunciation. Thus, collaborative learning proved effective as a strategy to enhance students' English speaking abilities while preparing them to face the challenges of communication in the global era.

Abstract

Family-based English language learning gained attention as an alternative to formal education, yet limited research explored its practical implementation. Discrepancies existed between theoretical models of language acquisition and how families applied them at home. This study aimed to investigate how interactive learning strategies within a family environment supported English language development. Using a narrative inquiry approach focused on one multilingual family, this research explored daily practices and challenges encountered. Findings revealed that engaging in daily English conversations, utilizing multimedia, fostering self-directed learning, offering emotional support, and promoting a growth mindset significantly enhanced language acquisition. These practices reflected major theories such as Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, Mayer’s Multimedia Learning Theory, Benson’s Self-Directed Learning Framework, Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, and Dweck’s Growth Mindset Theory. Challenges included limited parental proficiency, time constraints, learner motivation fluctuations, technology access issues, and the need for careful error correction. The study concluded that family involvement, even without formal training, successfully bridged theoretical and practical gaps in language learning. Further research was recommended to examine diverse family settings and develop intervention programs to strengthen family-based learning.Â
