Abstract

Although research on factors affecting students’ willingness to speak has been extensively carried out, most studies focus more on employing quantitative research methods by identifying the influencing factors through surveys or questionnaires. Moreover, research focusing on this issue within the Indonesian contexts is scarce. Hence, this study employed a narrative inquiry to elicit participants’ lived experiences with in-depth interviews to explore how four EFL students experience and reflect on the factors influencing them to speak in their EFL classes. The findings revealed that there are five internal factors affecting students’ willingness to speak, they are language anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, confidence, motivation, and self-directed learning. Moreover, peer influence, teacher feedback practices, and classroom activities become external factors affecting students’ willingness to speak. And students’ reflect their speaking experiences as identity and recognition, narratives of change from elementary and junior high school to senior high school, and agency.

Abstract

Speaking skills are crucial in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL); however, many Indonesian students face challenges in fluency, vocabulary use, grammatical accuracy, pronunciation, and coherence due to limited exposure to authentic English. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of YouTube videos as a learning medium for improving students’ speaking skills. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) involving twelfth-grade students of the Interior Design major at SMK Negeri 4 Kupang. Conducted in two learning cycles, the instructional procedures involved watching English vlog videos, guided discussion of language expressions, paired speaking practice, and individual oral performance. The study utilized speaking tests consisting of a pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2, as well as classroom observation sheets. Students’ speaking performance was assessed based on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and coherence. The findings revealed consistent improvement across all speaking aspects. Students’ scores increased from 40–78 in the pre-test to 63–84 in post-test 1 and further to 72–92 in post-test 2. Classroom observations also indicated increased student engagement, confidence, and participation during speaking activities. These findings suggest that YouTube videos effectively enhance EFL students’ speaking skills while fostering an interactive and motivating learning environment.
