Abstract

Speaking is one of the foundational components of language proficiency, requiring learners to produce language spontaneously with fluency and accuracy, while motivation plays a key role in sustaining learners' engagement and willingness to communicate. In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, both speaking ability and motivation remain common challenges. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which emphasizes interaction and authentic language use, can help students to develop both aspects by involving learners in real-life communicative tasks such as role plays. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CLT in improving the speaking skills and learning motivation of seventh graders at SMPN 3 Kota Madiun. To provide a comparative measure, the Audio-Lingual Method (ALM), a traditional, drill-based method, was used with a control group. Employing a quasi-experimental design, students were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were gathered through speaking performance tests and motivation questionnaires, and then were analyzed using SPSS 25 with the Mann-Whitney U test, Independent Sample t-test, and N-Gain. The results demonstrated that CLT significantly enhanced both students’ speaking abilities (U = 259.000; p = 0.002) and motivation (p = 0.000) compared to ALM, with a moderate N-Gain effectiveness (56–75%) for the CLT group and minimal improvement (<40%) in the ALM group. These findings confirm CLT as a more effective and engaging instructional method in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Indonesia's diverse religious landscape, notably Islam, often grapples with extremism, contributing to socioeconomic disparities and a tarnished perception of faith. Such extremism poses a threat to national unity and the well-being of youths. In countering this trend, fostering religious moderation emerges as a pivotal strategy, discouraging the glorification of extreme doctrines. Education emerges as a crucial tool in instilling religious moderation values. This study investigates how religious moderation values integrate into English teaching settings. This study employed qualitative research. It involved three levels of Islamic institutions: Islamic elementary school (madrasa ibtidaiya), Islamic junior high school (madrasa tsanawiya), and Islamic senior high school (madrasa aliya) in Ponorogo. The researchers collected the data through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The data, then, was evaluated thematically. This study revealed that religious moderation values were instilled into the lesson plans, learning materials, teaching-learning activities, and assessments in the English language teaching classroom.

Abstract

The use of technology in this era is useful, especially in teaching speaking. This study aims to describe the implementation of the SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, Intellectual) approach through YouTube videos in teaching speaking. It’s also revealing students' perceptions of the implementation of the SAVI approach in teaching speaking. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data were gathered through classroom observations, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students. It involved 30 students of the eleventh grade of SMAN 1 Slahung and one teacher. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results showed that the implementation of SAVI through YouTube videos gradually blended movement, hearing, implementation, and reasoning so that learning was more interactive and student-centered and facilitated comprehension before speaking practice. Students rated this approach as helpful and enjoyable. Dealing with the students’ perceptions, they said they are more motivated, actively participating, enriching vocabulary, improving pronunciation, and more confident. The auditory and visual aspects were considered the most helpful, while the somatic supported engagement and intellectually strengthened the analysis. SAVI's approach through YouTube videos helps speaking skills and can be a reference for teachers in designing more interactive and contextual learning.
