Abstract

Speaking confidence is a crucial factor in successful English language learning, particularly in EFL settings where anxiety and low self-esteem often hinder oral participation. This qualitative study investigates the teaching strategies employed by English teachers at Cambridge English School, a private language institution in Makassar, Indonesia, to foster students’ confidence in speaking. Utilizing classroom observations and in-depth interviews with three experienced teachers, the study applies Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis to identify six key strategies: reflective questioning, warm-up activities, use of relevant and authentic topics, mixed-ability group work, prioritizing fluency over accuracy, and encouraging feedback. Findings reveal that mixed-ability groupings serve as a vital mechanism for peer scaffolding and emotional support, consistent with socio-constructivist and social cognitive theories. Other strategies contribute to creating a psychologically safe and motivating environment that enhances students’ willingness to communicate. The study underscores the importance of learner-centered practices that integrate cognitive and affective dimensions to build speaking confidence. Implications for EFL teaching and teacher training include deliberate group composition and fluency-focused instruction to foster risk-taking and spontaneous speech. This research bridges theory and practice, offering practical insights for educators aiming to cultivate oral confidence in diverse EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The intention of this study is to determine how students experience about using QuillBot as a tool to minimise plagiarism in their thesis proposals. To accomplish the objectives of the study, a quantitative research approach was used. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to seventh-semester undergraduate students majoring in English Education at STKIP YPUP Makassar during the 2023/2024 academic year. According to the results, 60% of students think QuillBot is helpful for paraphrasing, and 40% concur that it is user-friendly and beneficial. Additionally, all participants (100%) agreed that QuillBot is a useful tool for paraphrasing. After using QuillBot, most students reported improvements in their writing clarity (60%) as well as in their grammar and sentence structure. Furthermore, 40% of students strongly suggested QuillBot to others, and 60% of students said they would be willing to keep using it. These findings imply that QuillBot is an effective supporting tool for encouraging academic integrity and helping students develop their academic writing, even though some students still need more direction to make the most of it.

Abstract

This study examines the process of implementing the audio-lingual method to improve students’ listening skills at SMA Negeri 3 Tana Toraja. tarting from initial observations regarding students' challenges in understanding oral information, especially in a foreign language, this study aims to describe in depth how the audio-lingual method is implemented in the classroom and how its implementation affects students' listening skills. Using a qualitative approach with a case study, this study involved several students and English teachers at SMA Negeri 3 Tana Toraja as participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations in the classroom, and document analysis, including lesson plans and audio recordings of learning. The case study approach allows for contextual and in-depth exploration of phenomena, providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of teacher-student interactions and students' responses to the methods applied. The results showed that the implementation of the audio-lingual method at SMA Negeri 3 Tana Toraja involved a series of structured activities such as repetition of sentence patterns, dialogues, and Drill exercises. Teachers consistently used audio recordings and emphasized correct pronunciation. However, challenges such as time constraints, large class sizes, and lack of variety of audio materials were also identified. These findings indicate that the audio-lingual method has great potential in improving students' listening skills through intensive and repeated exposure, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on contextual adaptation and teacher creativity in managing learning. This study is expected to provide valuable input for education practitioners in designing more effective language learning strategies, especially in developing students' listening skills.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of Kahoot! in an English phrase memorization program and identifies the challenges and opportunities they experienced during its implementation. Conducted at Al Mubarak Cendekia Islamic School in Makassar, Indonesia, the research employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected from 21 junior high school students through Likert-scale questionnaires, followed by qualitative interviews with selected students. Findings revealed that students’ perceptions of Kahoot! were overwhelmingly positive, with strong recognition of its role in making memorization enjoyable, interactive, and engaging. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant correlations between positive perceptions and students’ recognition of learning opportunities, while perceptions were not significantly related to reported challenges. Qualitative insights indicated that Kahoot! encouraged collaboration, motivation, and persistence but also presented difficulties, including technical issues, time constraints, and distractions. The study concludes that Kahoot! offers valuable opportunities to enhance phrase memorization in Islamic school contexts, though infrastructural and design-related challenges require careful attention. Implications are offered for teachers, schools, and policymakers in integrating gamified learning technologies.
