Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of storytelling training in enhancing the speaking skills of first-year students in the English Education Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The research was motivated by a survey of senior students, which revealed that 15.8% were still at the A1 level and 35.3% at the A2 level of the CEFR, indicating persistent challenges in speaking confidence and performance, particularly in formal academic contexts. The study involved 14 participants selected randomly to represent each first-year class. Data were collected through a post-training perception survey using closed-ended questionnaires covering aspects of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension, clarity, and speaking confidence. The results showed that all participants perceived improvements in their speaking abilities, with the highest agreement (100%) observed in vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence, followed by pronunciation (92.9%), clarity (92.9%), and fluency (85.7%). These findings suggest that storytelling can serve as an effective strategy for improving both the linguistic and affective aspects of speaking in EFL contexts. The study concludes that storytelling is a valuable pedagogical tool that should be integrated into the early stages of English language teacher education.

Abstract

This study investigated the perceptions of 10th grade students regarding the use of social media platforms, specifically YouTube and Instagram, in learning English at SMK Negeri 6 Takalar. Social media has gained a significant role in modern educational settings, allowing students to access diverse and engaging language learning materials outside the traditional classroom environment. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten purposively selected students. The interviews aimed to capture students’ experiences and views on integrating social media into their English learning process. The study revealed that Instagram was the most frequently used platform for learning English, while YouTube served as an additional resource to improve various language skills. Students highlighted that both platforms provided rich visual content and contributed to the improvement of their pronunciation, vocabulary, and listening comprehension. Despite the benefits, some challenges emerged such as poor network quality, limited internet access, and the intrusive nature of advertisements on these platforms. Based on the result, it can be concluded that students have positive perception on the use of social media in learning English.
