Abstract

This study aims to investigate the root causes of low English-speaking performance among students at the English Education Department of Mandalika University of Education. Despite years of formal instruction, many students still face significant challenges in achieving oral fluency and accuracy. This research employed a qualitative case study approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires involving a selected group of students and speaking lecturers. The findings reveal that the low speaking performance is attributed to a complex interplay of internal and external factors. Internally, psychological barriers such as high levels of anxiety, fear of making grammatical errors, and a lack of self-confidence significantly hinder students' willingness to communicate. Externally, the lack of a supportive English-speaking environment outside the classroom, limited opportunities for authentic interaction, and traditional teaching methods that overemphasize rote memorization of grammar rules contribute to the problem. Furthermore, linguistic issues, particularly limited vocabulary and poor pronunciation, remain primary obstacles. This study concludes that addressing low speaking performance requires a holistic approach, including the implementation of more communicative and interactive teaching strategies, the creation of an English-speaking zone on campus, and the integration of psychological support to build students' confidence. These findings provide valuable insights for curriculum designers and lecturers at Mandalika University of Education to enhance the quality of English-speaking instruction.

Abstract

English plays an essential role in the tourism industry because it serves as the primary medium of communication between tourism workers and international visitors. However, many tourism vendors still experience difficulties in communicating effectively in English, which may influence the quality of tourism services. This study aimed to identify the English speaking problems faced by tourism vendors in Gili Trawangan, examine the factors causing these problems, and explore the communication strategies they employed to overcome communication barriers. This study adopted a descriptive qualitative research design involving six tourism vendors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and analyzed using an interactive qualitative data analysis model. The findings revealed six major English speaking problems, namely limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, grammar mistakes, lack of fluency, difficulty understanding tourists' speech, and anxiety or lack of confidence. These problems were influenced by four main factors, including linguistic competence, educational background, environmental exposure, and psychological readiness. To maintain communication with foreign tourists, participants employed various communication strategies, including using simple expressions, gestures and body language, code-switching, translation applications, asking colleagues for assistance, and requesting tourists to repeat unclear utterances. The study concludes that successful communication in tourism workplaces depends not only on English proficiency but also on the effective use of communication strategies.
