The technology advancement in this era of globalization promotes the innovation and transformation in English language teaching and learning especially for EFL students. The innovations in English Language teaching and learning have fostered the variations of teaching strategy and method. One of the recent strategies proposed in pedagogical context is inquiry-based teaching strategy. Since the recent issues of active learning have been discussed in some school of thoughts, it is closely related to the importance of critical thinking students should have. In order to achieve English language learning goals, which is to enhance the students’ skill, competence, and also critical thinking, the teaching and learning process has to be designed more innovatively and effectively. Nevertheless, the implementation of this strategy should be adjusted in accordance to the students’ capability in learning English in class. Therefore, teachers have to understand well the characteristics of inquiry-based teaching before implementing it in class. This paper attempts to explore the use of inquiry-based teaching in promoting students’ critical thinking, especially in reading comprehension.  This paper discusses the issues of this strategy based on theoretical frameworks and provides the example of an activity using 5E that can be applied in class. The reading activity through inquiry-based teaching can be constructed by the teacher by considering the students’ condition and environment

Abstract

The speaking application developed in this research by using the technology of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) aims to help students practice speaking autonomously in English. The main objective is to form an interactive application named LINKS, which enhances their pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary. The design, development, and evaluation of the application were based on survey findings from 28 participants along with principles from the ADDIE model. The findings showed that 82% of the students reported improvement in their pronunciation and speaking skills, while 96% rated the user interface and feedback system positively. The participants also found that the application gave corrective feedback and helped with self-assessment, and real-time scores presented to students which enabled them to handle mistakes much better and even boosted their confidence. Furthermore, the interactive features raised learner autonomy and engagement, demonstrating that ASR-based applications can be an effective tool for enhancing independent learning. This research, concludes that the application can be a useful tool to overcome students' problems in speaking as well may help the language learning process.
