Abstract

Statistical evidence from this study confirms a moderate positive link between self-confidence and speaking ability (), demonstrating that students with stronger confidence generally communicate better in English. Investigating this relationship is crucial because many EFL learners struggle to express themselves verbally in academic contexts due to self-doubt. To explore this psychological dynamic, a quantitative correlational study was conducted with International Management students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. Out of a 120-student population across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 cohorts, 112 participants filled out questionnaires measuring self-confidence and speaking skills. The collected responses were processed via SPSS, covering validity, reliability, normality, descriptive metrics, and Spearman's rho correlation. Because higher confidence correlates with clearer oral expression, language educators should adopt classroom activities that build student confidence while offering frequent chances for authentic practice.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of authentic comprehension and explored their perceptions of its implementations. Utilizing a quantitative pre-experimental approach with a one-grup pretest-posttest design, the study sampled fourth semester English Language Education Undergraduate Students (N =34) at the Muhammadiyah University of East Kalimantan (UMKT) who possessed intermediate TOEFL Listening scores. Data were collected through a 40-item objective listening test administered before and after a four-session instructional treatment, alongside a 4-point Likert scale perception questionnaire. A paired- sample t-test conducted in SPSS revealed a statistically significant improvement in listening proficiency, with the mean score drastically increasing from 55.51 in the pre-test to 83.31 in the post-test ($t = -10.283$, $p = 0.000$). Questionnaire findings further confirmed highly positive student perceptions (>90% agreement across all indicators), with the affective dimension (interest and motivation) scoring the highest, while the accessibility dimension highlighted minor technical hurdles related to internet dependency (10% disagreement). The study concludes that authentic Disney audiovisual content serves as an effective, adaptive, and anxiety-reducing instructional tool capable of optimizing listening outcomes in higher education classrooms.
