Abstract

Many Indonesian students find it difficult to master English as a second language. One of the essential skills that must be mastered is speaking skill. People who like English must concerted effort to improve their English language skills. In teaching and learning, the teacher has a big responsibility. Teachers must master learning strategies to solve problems faced by the students and help them comprehend their speaking skills to achieve the goal of learning. This research uses experimental methodology to examine the effect of the small-group discussion method on students' ability to communicate verbally. The researchers applied a pre-experimental strategy, which included a pre-test before providing the chosen treatment. A post-test was given to complete the data collection after the treatments. The researchers used thirty-six students from SMK N 7 Semarang as a sample in this research. The research's findings indicates that the post-test score outperformed the pre-test score. On the other hand, at the significant level of 0,05, the t-score result is greater than the t-table. As a result, we can decide from the data analysis that the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is acceptable whereas the Null Hypothesis (Ho) is unacceptable. In accordance with the findings, conducting small group discussions as a teaching strategy significantly improves students' speaking abilities. As a result, it is suggested that English teachers offer this method as an attempt.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge of low student motivation and engagement in English language learning in Indonesia by examining an innovative instructional approach. It evaluates the effectiveness of Toy Theater, a gamified learning platform integrated with local cultural content, in improving English vocabulary acquisition among secondary school students. The intervention embedded vocabulary learning within familiar cultural narratives, aiming to support cognitive development, socio-emotional engagement, and cultural relevance in language education. Using a mixed-methods design, the study combined quantitative data from pre- and post-tests with qualitative data from classroom observations and interviews. The participants included sixty students and three teachers at a secondary school in Semarang, Indonesia, who took part in an eight-week implementation. Toy Theater offered interactive, game-based activities aligned with the national curriculum and enriched with traditional arts and folklore to increase student engagement. Findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary proficiency, as reflected in higher post-test scores. Students reported increased motivation and enjoyment, largely due to the gamified features and culturally relevant content. Teachers also noted improved classroom dynamics, with greater participation and collaboration. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential of gamified, culturally responsive tools to enhance English language learning, emphasizing the value of integrating technology with local cultural contexts to improve educational outcomes.
