The role of technology in the world of education cannot be separated because technology is actually the result of education and learning process. The use of technology becomes a support in the implementation of a success in teaching and learning activities. One of the technologies that can be used in learning English is to use a platform or voice note feature. Therefore, this study examines students' difficulties in learning English through voice note technology. The method used in this research is qualitative using a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through observation and interviews related to students' problems and obstacles in speaking skills using voice notes. The data were analyzed in a descriptive way by following the stages of data reduction, data display and conclusion. The results showed that students' difficulties in speaking skills were divided into two, namely internal and external. Internal factors include lack of self-confidence, courage, inspector, lack of understanding of English vocabulary. While external factors include technological sophistication, internet quota, learning resources or references.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the strategies and benefits of incorporating local cultural values in English language teaching. The type of research used is library research. Data was collected through reference collection from journals, articles, or books related to local culture in teaching. The analysis shows that the use of local cultural values is able to build student awareness of culture, encourage students to love the uniqueness and value of their culture, and improve their understanding of English material. The strategies that English teachers can apply when teaching using local culture are through materials related to products or objects typical of a region, such as using pictures or photos, conducting discussions, making video projects, practicing conversations, group learning, and making podcasts. Furthermore, the benefits that occur when including local wisdom in English teaching include increasing socio-cultural awareness, making students more aware of their culture and familiar materials, developing students' character, improving students' language skills, and increasing tolerance and mutual respect. To be successful in teaching English through local culture, teachers need to design and emphasize learning materials and activities using local culture so that students are more aware of the uniqueness of their culture.
