Abstract

In the contemporary globalized landscape, proficient communication in English is crucial for educational success and worldwide interaction. Despite extensive formal education, many Indonesian students struggle with speaking fluently in real-life contexts. English-speaking clubs (ESCs) have emerged as extracurricular platforms to help students overcome these challenges by providing a supportive, interactive environment for practicing speaking skills. Using a qualitative descriptive design, this research investigates the students' perceptions of the benefits and challenges of participating in an ESC at a high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Through in-depth interviews with eight active club members, the research identifies several themes. The findings show the advantages of joining ESC, including increased speaking practice, improved language skills, enhanced fluency, and greater confidence. However, due to scheduling constraints, students also face challenges in joining ESC, such as fear of making mistakes, anxiety in spontaneous speaking situations, and limited participation time. The results of this study highlight the significance of building helpful, structured environments within ESCs to foster students’ communicative competence and self-assurance in English. This research provides a constructive understanding for teachers and administrators seeking to improve ESC programs and boost foreign language competence.

Abstract

In the context of 21st-century globalization and technological progress, English has become a crucial worldwide lingua franca, especially in non-native English-speaking nations such as Indonesia. Although English has been included into the Indonesian education system at all levels, numerous students encounter difficulties in attaining oral fluency despite extensive formal training. This study examines the correlation between learner initiative and students' oral competency in English, specifically targeting learners in the English Language Education Department of a private institution in Yogyakarta. Utilizing a quantitative correlational study methodology, data were gathered from 97 students through a validated questionnaire to evaluate learner initiative and academic records to assess speaking competence. Descriptive analysis revealed a high level of learner initiative (M = 45.20) and good speaking ability (M = 3.35). Spearman’s rho correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant albeit modest positive association (rs = 0.367, p = 0.001) between learner initiative and speaking proficiency. These findings suggest that while initiative is meaningful in oral language development, it is not the sole determinant of speaking proficiency. The study highlights the need for instructional strategies that foster learner autonomy and address other influencing factors such as anxiety, interaction opportunities, and feedback. The findings supplement the expanding literature highlighting the significance of internal learner traits, especially initiative, as crucial determinants of success in EFL speaking performance
