Abstract

In English language learning, speaking skill is one of the important basic abilities but often becomes a challenge for students, especially due to limited vocabulary, lack of confidence, and fear of making mistakes. This study aims to determine whether there is an improvement in students' speaking skills through the application of the Gallery Walk method in class X-2 students of SMK Miftahul Hasan Al-Utsmani in the 2024/2025 school year. This study used a qualitative approach with the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method consisting of two cycles. Each cycle includes planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects in this study were 21 students of class X-2. Data collection techniques used observation, speaking tests, documentation, and assessment rubrics covering aspects of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and content understanding. Based on the results of the cycle 1 test, the average student score of 61.1 shows that there are still many students who have not reached the minimum completion criteria (KKM). However, after improvements were made in cycle 2 in the form of simplifying topics, providing vocabulary lists, and re-explaining instructions, the average score increased to 75.1 and met the KKM. The observation results also showed an increase in students' active participation and confidence in speaking activities. Thus, it can be concluded that the Gallery Walk method has a significant effect on improving students' speaking skills. This method is proven to create a collaborative, interactive learning atmosphere and support the development of speaking skills effectively.

In Anxiety in speaking English remains a major obstacle for high school students in the learning process. This study aims to describe the level and type of speaking anxiety experienced by students in the context of English language learning. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach involving 100 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Asembagus. The instrument used is the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), which has been validated and analysed using SPSS version 27. The results indicate that 40% of students are at a low level of anxiety, 55% at a moderate level, and 5% at a high level. The most dominant aspect of anxiety was communication apprehension with an average score of 25.50, followed by fear of negative evaluation (23.22), and test anxiety (12.31). These findings indicate that most students feel anxious when they have to speak spontaneously in English. Therefore, teaching strategies that support and create a comfortable classroom environment are needed to help students feel more confident in speaking English.

Abstract

This study explores students' in-depth perceptions of the use of folklore in narrative text learning, considering the lack of studies discussing this topic. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, conducted at SMA Negeri Arjasa Jember. The research participants consisted of five tenth graders who were selected purposively based on two criteria: having adequate verbal communication skills to express their thoughts and having previous learning experiences related to the use of folklore in narrative texts in English lessons. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques by Miles & Huberman. The results showed that students had a positive perception of the integration of folklore, which was considered to improve motivation, engagement, understanding of local culture, and mastery of contextual language. However, limited vocabulary and difficulty in comprehending English structure still pose an obstacle to achieving mastery of past tenses in English. These findings open up opportunities for further research that examines the effectiveness of scaffolding strategies in helping students overcome linguistic gaps when learning narrative texts based on local culture.
