Abstract

This study aimed to assess the impact of utilizing cartoon movies as a learning medium in teaching monologue to enhance speaking abilities among junior high school students. Employing a pretest-treatment-posttest design within a pre-experimental study model, the research focused on a classroom using the cartoon movie "Ponyo" alongside the conventional program-based teaching method. The interactive and culturally rich Japanese cartoon with a theme centered on teen imagination was applied in the treatment, involving 29 students from class B. The results, based on monologue technique assessments, demonstrated favorable opinions from students regarding the cartoon movie medium. However, while the findings indicated an improvement in speaking abilities, the effect was not statistically significant. This study provides insights into the potential of cartoon movies as an engaging educational tool and suggests avenues for further research and instructional refinement. Highlights : The study explores the use of cartoon movies as a dynamic medium for enhancing monologue instruction in junior high school settings. While student opinions on the cartoon medium were positive, the research highlights a significant yet non-statistically significant improvement in speaking abilities, suggesting further avenues for exploration and instructional development. "Ponyo," a culturally rich Japanese cartoon, is employed to supplement traditional teaching methods, fostering interactive learning experiences.

Abstract

General Background: Speaking competence is a central component of communicative proficiency, yet many learners experience anxiety and hesitation when addressing an audience in English. Specific Background: Public speaking tasks require not only linguistic mastery but also psychological readiness, particularly self-belief in one’s speaking ability. Knowledge Gap: While prior research has largely examined how anxiety constrains oral performance, limited attention has been given to how students’ own perceptions of their speaking performance relate to their confidence in English communication. Aims: This study investigates the correlation between students’ perceived public speaking performance and their confidence in communicating in English. Results: Using a quantitative correlational design with 33 Indonesian senior high school students, Spearman Rank-Order analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship (ρ = 0.609, p < 0.01). Students with higher perceived performance displayed greater fluency, spontaneity, and reduced anxiety, whereas less confident peers relied more on written scripts and showed hesitation. Novelty: The study foregrounds self-perception as a key psychological factor associated with communicative confidence, extending existing research beyond anxiety-centered explanations. Implications: Findings underscore the importance of structured speaking practice, constructive feedback, and psychologically supportive classrooms to foster both self-belief and communicative competence in English learning environments. Highlights: Positive self-evaluation aligns with smoother delivery, eye contact, and spontaneous responses. Learners with lower assurance depend heavily on prepared texts and exhibit frequent pauses. Supportive instructional settings and guided practice are essential for building communicative self-belief.

Abstract

General Background: English pronunciation is a fundamental component of oral communication competence, yet it remains one of the most challenging aspects for EFL learners, particularly in contexts where English phonology differs significantly from the native language. Specific Background: The integration of mobile-assisted language learning tools, such as the U-Dictionary application, offers audio models, phonetic transcription, and translation features that may support pronunciation practice during narrative story activities. Knowledge Gap: Previous research has largely emphasized vocabulary development or alternative media, leaving limited empirical evidence on the use of U-Dictionary for pronunciation within narrative text learning. Aims: This study examined whether the use of the U-Dictionary application significantly improves students’ English pronunciation when learning narrative stories. Results: Using a quantitative one-group pretest–posttest design with 24 ninth-grade students, the mean score increased from 50.00 to 58.13, and a paired sample t-test yielded a significance value of 0.047 (< 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference after the intervention. Novelty: The study provides focused evidence on mobile dictionary–assisted pronunciation practice embedded in narrative story learning, particularly addressing difficulties with regular and irregular verb pronunciation. Implications: The findings suggest that accessible mobile applications can serve as practical alternative media for technology-integrated language instruction and support independent pronunciation practice in secondary school contexts. Highlights: Learners’ post-intervention scores increased compared with baseline performance. Statistical testing confirmed a meaningful difference after the treatment phase. Audio models with phonetic guidance enabled independent practice during reading tasks. Keywords: U-Dictionary; English Pronunciation; Narrative Story; Mobile-Assisted language Learning; EFL Students

Abstract

General Background: Speaking is a complex language skill requiring accurate pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, and confidence for meaningful communication in English as a foreign language. Specific Background: Many high school students experience limited exposure to authentic language input and insufficient opportunities for oral practice, resulting in low speaking performance. Knowledge Gap: Although audiovisual media are widely used, empirical evidence on short English movies as classroom media in vocational high schools remains limited. Aims: This study investigated whether English movies could improve students’ speaking ability in a tenth-grade accounting class at a vocational high school. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design with 38 students, the average score increased from 69.47 to 90.26, a gain of 20.79 points, supported by a paired-sample t-test showing a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Improvements were observed in pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, motivation, and confidence during speaking tasks. Novelty: The study demonstrates the pedagogical value of short subtitled English films integrated with recount-text retelling activities in a real classroom setting. Implications: English movies can serve as engaging audiovisual media that promote active participation, provide authentic language exposure, and support communicative competence development in secondary EFL instruction. Highlights: Mean performance rose by 20.79 points between initial and final assessment. Learners displayed greater confidence and participation during oral tasks. Subtitled short films supported clearer pronunciation and richer vocabulary use. Keywords: English Movies; Speaking Ability; Audiovisual Media; EFL Learners; Vocational High School
