Abstract

Abstract Language learners’ willingness to communicate in the target language is the key role in achieving their language learning goals. The notion of ‘Willingness to Communicate’ (WTC) is a model or concept that integrates psychological, linguistic, and communicative variables in order to describe, explain, and predict foreign or second language communication. This study was conducted to explore the possible factors affecting EFL students’ unwillingness to communicate in English in campus. The data were gathered from three research participants using unstructured interview and were analyzed qualitatively using narrative inquiry method and thematic analysis strategy. The findings of this study revealed that the main factors affecting the students’ unwillingness to communicate in English during the learning time in campus were linguistic, psycholinguistic, socio-cultural, and institutional factors. And among those major factors, socio-cultural and institutional factors were identified to be the most dominant ones that affected the participants’ unwillingness to communicate in English in campus.

Abstract

Pronunciation stands as a pivotal language component and achieving proficient English oral communication hinges on mastering accurate English pronunciation. This study aims to identify erroneous sounds produced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in English Phonology classes. Sixteen participants were selected using total population sampling, and oral examinations served as the primary data collection instrument. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method, the analysis focused on empirical facts and phenomena observed among participants. Results indicate that all participants (100%) exhibited improper pronunciation of English consonant phonemes /q/, /ð/, /?/, /d?/, and /?/, and associated words. Additionally, a majority (87.50%) struggled with /?/ and /t?/, while over half (62.50%) faced challenges with /f/ and /v/, and a subset (25%) encountered difficulties with /z/. These findings underscore persistent inaccuracies in English consonant pronunciation among EFL students, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of using YouTube videos as instructional media on advancing speaking fluency in an English conversation class. A quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed, involving 30 first-semester students from an English Language and Culture program in Pontianak, Indonesia, using total population sampling. Data collection included two oral speaking tests, a speaking fluency rating scale, and a questionnaire. A mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative) was used for data analysis. Results showed that the mean post-test score (78) was significantly higher than the pre-test score (67.65), with a difference of 10.35 points. This indicates that YouTube videos are highly effective in improving EFL learners’ speaking fluency. The study highlights the importance of incorporating effective instructional media in EFL education to better address students' learning needs and enhance engagement, ultimately leading to more effective language learning outcomes.
