Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of Kinesthetic Learning Activities (KLA) in improving students' speaking skills at the Merchant Marine Polytechnic Makassar. This study applies an approach that is quantitative, adopting a pre-experimental, one-group pretest and posttest design to evaluate students' speaking performance before and after KLA implementation. A purposive sample of 24 second-year cadets was selected from a total population of 841 students. Data were acquired using pretests and posttests., in which students engaged in storytelling tasks assessed based on accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 30, combining normality tests, paired sample t-tests, and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests to establish the significance of the data. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' speaking proficiency following the integration of kinesthetic learning activities. Pre-test scores revealed that most students were categorized as 'Fair' to 'Very Poor,' reflecting notable challenges in pronunciation, grammar, and fluency. However, post-test results demonstrated substantial progress, with a majority of students achieving higher proficiency levels. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test confirmed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, demonstrating KLA's effectiveness in improving students' oral communication skills. Consequently, the findings suggest that incorporating kinesthetic learning strategies into language instruction can be highly beneficial in maritime education. This research underscores the value of movement-based learning in vocational training and encourages further research to explore its long-term impact and applicability in structured academic settings.

Abstract

This ethnographic study investigates the influence of strong local languages on English language teaching at SMPN 1 Kabangka, Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, using Ethnolinguistic Identity Theory as a framework. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with three English teachers. The findings reveal that a trilingual shifting strategy—using English, Indonesian, and Muna—is commonly employed to facilitate understanding, although it reduces consistent English exposure and influences students’ pronunciation and accent. Students often lack confidence in using English due to their strong identification with the local language, but this shared background also strengthens teacher-student relationships. Challenges identified through observations and interviews include limited vocabulary, the need for double translation, low student engagement and retention, and minimal exposure to English outside the classroom. Despite these barriers, teachers demonstrate adaptability by integrating local culture, simplifying learning materials, and fostering positive classroom interactions. The study recommends culturally responsive teaching practices, localized curriculum modifications, and targeted professional development to support English language instruction in multilingual and remote educational settings.
