Abstract

Classroom management continues to be a teacher's struggle for teaching performances because it relates to students learning. There needs to be more understanding and knowledge about managing the students and classrooms with diverse student behaviour to solve the problems, particularly when identifying students' problems and understanding their different characteristics. However, this study explored teacher classroom management strategies in teaching speaking classes, especially in secondary schools. This study aims to (1) explore and describe the classroom management used by English teachers in teaching speaking. (2) find out the teacher strategy used to deal with the students' problems during classroom management's teaching and learning speaking process. (3) examine the impact of classroom management strategy in teaching practice. This study uses semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis to collect the data. The data findings reveal that teachers have different ways of dealing with different classroom situations based on their experiences and understanding, especially in speaking classes. Most of them claim to take action on how to respond to students' problems, such as understanding classroom management strategies, organizing, problem-solving, and applying teaching strategies. These strategies have a positive impact on learning engagement in the classroom, such as the students being more interested in learning English lessons, obeying the rules, talking actively, and having motivation.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve students’ speaking skills using Sims Freeplay through action research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which includes five steps: reconnaissance, planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 29 students from class XI-1 of a senior high school in Yogyakarta, consisting of 12 females and 17 males. Qualitative data were collected through observations and interviews, while quantitative data were gathered using pre-tests and post-tests. Data analysis involved five steps: assembling, coding, comparing, interpreting, and reporting the outcomes. The validity of the data was measured using democratic, outcomes, process, catalytic, and dialogic validity, while reliability was ensured through time triangulation. The results showed improvements in students’ speaking skills, with mean scores increasing from the pre-test (12.28) to post-test cycle I (13.28) and post-test cycle II (14.31), reflecting an 8% increase in cycle I and 9% in cycle II. Reflection from cycle I revealed improvements in vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and sentence organization. Anxiety levels decreased from a mean score of 14.87 to 12.66, while motivation increased from 17.21 to 20.20. Sims Freeplay proved to be an effective and engaging tool for learning English, significantly enhancing students’ speaking skills and creating a positive learning experience.
