Abstract

This research aims to explore students' responses to using fun English learning strategies at the junior high school level. The method used in this research is field note observation and interviews with students to determine their perceptions regarding the effectiveness and attractiveness of this learning method. The findings of this research indicate that the majority of students gave positive responses to the fun learning approach. They feel more motivated and actively involved and enjoy the interactive and varied learning process. Students report that this method helps them remember new vocabulary more easily and understand English concepts better. However, some students acknowledged the challenges of retaining learned knowledge over the long term without adequate extension. Creative and innovative teachers play an important role in the success of this method, with interesting and interactive teaching variations. In conclusion, the Fun English Learning Strategy proved to be effective in increasing students' motivation and engagement in English learning, although additional strategies are needed to ensure better knowledge retention. This research provides insight for educators and researchers in developing more effective and enjoyable English teaching methods in the future.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of their learning styles in the context of an English-speaking class. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation involving tenth-grade Culinary A students at SMKN 2 Gowa. The findings indicate that while students are unfamiliar with the theoretical concept of learning styles, they exhibit clear visual, auditory, and kinesthetic preferences in receiving, processing, and evaluating information. The results highlight that visual learners depend on visual aids, auditory learners seek verbal clarification, and kinesthetic learners prefer physical or group activities. Despite their conceptual limitations, students are aware of effective learning strategies that align with their personal styles. These insights underscore the importance of recognizing individual learning preferences to enhance instructional design in speaking classes.

Abstract

This research employed a descriptive qualitative method to explore the primary factors affecting students’ Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The study was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with EFL students and analysed using theories from Macintyre et al.’s (1998) heuristic model of WTC as the theoretical framework. The findings reveal that a complex interplay of individual, social, and pedagogical factors influences WTC. Key internal factors include communicative self-confidence, language anxiety, motivation (both instrumental and integrative), and personality traits such as introversion and extroversion. Students reported greater WTC when interacting with familiar peers, when they perceived the conversation partner as less dominant, or when the topic was familiar and engaging. Linguistic competence, particularly vocabulary and grammar mastery, also significantly impacted their willingness to speak. While the social context emerged as equally influential, students highlighted that peer support, a positive classroom atmosphere, and a non-threatening environment facilitated their WTC, while fear of making mistakes or negative evaluation, especially during formal interactions with lecturers, served as communication barriers. The flexible use of Bahasa Indonesia in combination with English was also noted as a scaffold that helped ease anxiety and improve comprehension. Overall, this study concludes that WTC is not a fixed trait but a dynamic construct shaped by psychological readiness, linguistic ability, interpersonal relationships, and instructional methods. This research should be conducted in a more varied sample. Replicating this study across different regions, educational levels, and learner demographics will help generalize the findings and strengthen the evidence base for best practices in EFL teaching. Besides, Research into how variables such as emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and language learning beliefs interact with WTC can contribute to more personalized language teaching approaches to investigating students' WTC in the EFL classroom.

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify students’ learning styles, the problems they face, their strategies, and their perceptions of speaking English based on their respective learning styles. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The tenth-grade Culinary A students of SMKN 2 Gowa were selected as the research subjects. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results revealed that: (1) The most dominant learning styles employed by the students in the classroom is visual learning style, followed by auditory learning style and kinesthetic learning style (2) The problems experienced by students in English speaking activities based on their learning styles, such as visual learners faced issues such as lack of confidence, difficulty understanding instructions without visual aids, pronunciation challenges, and noisy classroom environments. Auditory learners encountered problems such as fear of making mistakes, confusion, discomfort, grammar issues, and hesitation, while kinesthetic learners struggled with boredom, panic, nervousness, lack of self-confidence, and fear of being laughed at. (3) The strategies identified by visual learners included planning, memorizing, taking notes, and preparing visual aids. Auditory learners resolved their difficulties by speaking loudly, watching video podcasts, memorizing, and using audio tools such as voice recordings, and kinesthetic learners addressed their challenges by asking for permission to move, using body movements, and employing physical tools such as pens or markers.

Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing students’ Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms and examines teaching strategies that can effectively foster this willingness. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research was conducted at an EFL Classroom in Indonesia, through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with selected EFL students. The study applies Macintyre et al.’s (1998) heuristic model of WTC as its theoretical foundation. The findings reveal that students’ WTC is shaped by a dynamic interaction of internal, social, and instructional factors. Internally, communicative self-confidence, anxiety levels, and motivation (both instrumental and integrative) played a significant role. Socially, peer support, classroom atmosphere, and fear of negative evaluation were identified as crucial influences. The flexible use of both Bahasa Indonesia and English also helped reduce anxiety and increase participation. Pedagogically, students responded more positively to interactive strategies compared to traditional lectures. Approaches such as cooperative learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning were found to be the most effective in encouraging active communication, critical thinking, and collaboration. Overall, this research emphasizes that WTC is not fixed, but rather influenced by contextual and emotional readiness. Teachers are encouraged to implement student-centred and emotionally supportive strategies to create a classroom environment where learners feel confident to speak.
