Abstract

This study examines the factors contributing to speaking difficulties among EFL secondary school learners and offers teachers insights for effectively addressing these challenges. The study aims to augment pedagogical techniques to enhance speaking proficiency results. The study utilized a descriptive qualitative methodology, with 30 class XI students chosen to reflect varied experiences and viewpoints. Data has been collected via open-ended surveys and interviews, using thematic analysis to discern patterns and recurring themes. The results indicate that lacking confidence, restricted vocabulary, and an unsupportive classroom atmosphere substantially impede students' speaking skills. Furthermore, students identified the fear of errors and peer evaluation as significant obstacles. The research emphasizes effective measures for enhancement, including participation in English clubs, consistent practice, and cultivating a supportive teaching environment. These findings underscore the significance of customized instructional strategies and inclusive practices that foster an optimal learning environment. This research highlights the essential function of educators in enabling students to surmount speaking difficulties, enhance self-assurance, and improve communication abilities. By tackling these challenges, EFL learners can cultivate the proficiency required to excel in academic and practical environments.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the English-speaking skills of students at Pondok Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur’an Al-Quds in Bandar Lampung through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. Implemented over three months in three action cycles: Look, Think, and Act, the program involved students and pesantren administrators in all phases of contextual, theme-based learning drawn from students’ daily activities such as prayer routines, dormitory interactions, and Islamic value discussions. Evaluation results revealed a 17.2-point average increase between pre-test and post-test scores, alongside affective improvements such as confidence and active participation. Interviews and reflection sessions indicated tangible benefits, including the emergence of peer mentors and an engaging learning atmosphere. These findings affirm that integrating participatory methods with religious and contextual content meaningfully supports students’ speaking skill development in pesantren settings.
