Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Story Chain activities focusing to see its potential in enhancing students’ speaking performance and creativity of young learners in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, the data were collected through interviews and direct observations. The findings reveal that Story Chain activities significantly improve students' speaking proficiency, creativity, and confidence. Students demonstrated enhanced vocabulary usage, pronunciation, and the ability to construct coherent narratives. Additionally, the collaborative nature of the activities fostered social interaction and an inclusive classroom environment. However, challenges were identified, including difficulties faced by students with lower English proficiency and those who were initially reluctant to participate. Despite these challenges, the research underscores the effectiveness of Story Chain activities in creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. Suggestions for teachers and future researchers are to optimize the application of this method in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Abstract:The practice of corrective feedback in communicative language classroom has become a debate among applied linguists. Some consider it obstructs students’ fluent speech and some assert it is vital to show students their linguistic gaps. This study aims to describe the practice of oral corrective feedback in meaning-focused instruction specifically to answer the questions 1) what is to correct, 2) how it is corrected, and 3) how repair is constructed. The data are in the forms of teacher’s and students’ utterances obtained through video recording during meaning-focused instruction in a secondary school.  The result shows that in meaning-focused instruction, the ESL teacher mainly corrects semantic errors and among six types of corrective feedback (explicit correction, recast, clarification request, metalinguistic feedback, elicitation, and repetition), the teacher mostly uses elicitation and recast while the repair strategies that occur in this class takes the pattern of other initiation-self repair. So, it can be concluded that in a meaning-focused instruction the teacher does not relatively interrupt the students’ fluent speech and that the communicative activity is maintained. And with self-repair, students notice their linguistic gaps. Therefore corrective feedback is still worth practicing in meaning-focused language classrooms.
