Abstract

English is becoming essential in this quickly changing world because it is crucial for practically every aspect of life, especially communication. Speaking skills is a foundation for being able to communicate in English. However, many students still find it challenging to practice speaking English because it is not the mother tongue in Indonesia. This study investigated students' difficulties and the factors that cause them in English speaking practice. 80 students of Grade 10 Accounting students at SMK PGRI 2 Kudus were the participants in this study. A qualitative method was applied and the data of this study were collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The questionnaire results revealed that students have difficulties in English practice; inhibition, nothing to say, low participation, and mother tongue use with "nothing to say" as the dominant difficulty. The factors that cause these difficulties include clustering (difficulty arranging sentences), redundancy (not knowing to explain correctly), still unfamiliar with the reduced form, low speaking performance, lack of vocab and not understanding what others are saying, low rate of delivery, and difficulty in pronunciation, stress, and intonation with clustering as the dominant factor. Regarding the dominant difficulty and its factor in the result of this study, the researcher suggests that teachers should always introduce new vocabulary daily so that students' vocabulary continues to increase. Moreover, the teacher should give the students an easy way to construct good sentences in speaking because they are still confused about arranging a correct sentence when practicing speaking.

Abstract

Merujuk pada hasil survei Programme of International Student Assessment (PISA) yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018, kemampuan literasi dan numerasi para siswa Indonesia berada pada posisi lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan siswa di negara-negara lain. Posisi Indonesia pada tahun 2018 untuk membaca berada di peringkat 72 dari 77 negara, dan sains berada di peringkat 70 dari 78 negara (OECD, 2018).  Melihat tingkat literasi yang rendah dari para siswa di Indonesia, maka harus ada upaya yang terus menerus untuk meningkatkan literasi mereka, mengingat literasi menjadi tuntutan bagi para siswa/peserta didik untuk memenuhi kualifikasi kompetensi di abad 21 ini. Saat ini Kemendikbudristek telah mencanangkan penggunaan Kurikulum Merdeka pada satuan-satuan pendidikan di Indonesia. Pengembangan literasi menjadi salah satu fokus dan perhatian pada kurikulum ini sedikit banyak telah mendorong para peneliti, guru dan praktisi pendidikan untuk melakukan eksplorasi keilmuan dalam mengembangkan berbagai model pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, sesuai dengan ragam karakteristik peserta didik dan mampu memacu mereka untuk mengembangkan literasi. Oleh karena itulah, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan dan pendampingan para guru Bahasa Inggris di SMP Negeri 6 Blora untuk mengembangkan Model Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Berbasis “Critical Thinking”.

Abstract

This study provides a qualitative analysis of a casual talk between two male postgraduate EFL students, who are Indonesian, Javanese, and English-speaking close friends. The conversation, conducted spontaneously without prior planning, consists of 203 turns and forms 23 conversational story sequences. The findings highlight key aspects of casual conversation, including structural, interactive, and interpersonal features. Structurally, the dialogue follows adjacency pairs and the IRF (Initiate-Respond-Follow-up) pattern. Spontaneity is evident in filled pauses, repetitions, false starts, backtracking, incomplete utterances, and frequent use of conjunctions and fixed expressions. Interactivity is demonstrated through turn-taking, respectful silence, occasional interruptions, and discourse markers, with communication strategies employed to prevent breakdowns. Interpersonal engagement is reflected in the use of laughter and chuckles, fostering group solidarity. Coherence emerges through cooperative exchanges, where speakers provide relevant responses and comments. Additionally, negotiation occurs in both interpersonal exchanges and logical-semantic adjustments to maintain clarity and understanding. These findings suggest that the conversation builds engagement through laughter, coherence through cooperation, and clarity through negotiation, maintaining structured storytelling despite its casual tone. However, a key limitation of this study is its reliance on audio recordings, which excludes the analysis of gestures and facial expressions. Further investigation into diverse conversational contexts, participant relationships, and cultural influences could provide deeper insights into the dynamics of casual interactions
