Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies used by an English teacher in teaching listening comprehension at a high school in Karawang. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research participant was an English teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the qualitative data analysis model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that the teacher employed a combination of top-down and bottom-up strategies in teaching listening comprehension. Additionally, the teacher implemented listening instruction through three stages: pre-listening, during listening, and post-listening. These strategies effectively helped students understand the material by activating prior knowledge, focusing on linguistic features, and engaging them in structured listening activities. This study concludes that the integration of various listening strategies and systematic teaching stages contributes positively to the effectiveness of oral comprehension instruction in EFL classrooms and supports the development of students’ listening skills.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by 10th-grade high school students in English speaking activities through legend story-based roleplay. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving 10th-grade students who have participated in legend story roleplay activities. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles (2014), which includes data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results show that students face several main challenges, such as limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, speaking anxiety, difficulties in acting out characters, and obstacles in group cooperation. Limited vocabulary and pronunciation are the main challenges because they affect students' ability to deliver dialogues smoothly and confidently. Despite this, students respond positively to using legend-based roleplay because it is considered interesting, fun, and helps them practice speaking in a more meaningful context. Besides improving speaking skills, this activity also introduces local cultural values through legend stories. The findings of this study suggest that legend-based roleplay has potential as an effective learning strategy, provided that teachers give enough support to help students overcome the various challenges they face.
