Abstract

The Pen Pals Project was exciting and challenging in improving my speaking skills. The pen pals project, which is based on cross-cultural knowledge between countries, is one of the efforts that can be used to enhance students’ speaking skills. However, previous studies have primarily focused on students’ writing skills at the junior and senior high school education levels. This motivates the researcher to further uncover the benefits of the pen pals project in a cross-cultural understanding course that aims to improve speaking skills. This study aims to determine how much the pen pals project can improve students’ speaking ability. It focuses on how much the pen pals project can improve students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

Developing English speaking skills among elementary school students remains challenging due to limited vocabulary, low confidence, and the need for more engaging instructional approaches. Although previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Silent Way method, most have focused on vocabulary mastery or secondary and higher education contexts, leaving limited evidence regarding its implementation in elementary EFL classrooms from a qualitative perspective. Therefore, this study explored how the Silent Way method influenced students’ engagement, participation, classroom behavior, and perceptions during speaking activities. A qualitative case study was conducted with 15 fifth-grade students at SD 1 Margorejo, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed four major themes: (1) Increased Learner Engagement and Participation, (2) Enhanced Speaking Confidence, (3) Positive Learning Experiences and the Role of Visual Supports, and (4) Persistent Challenges during Speaking Activities. The findings indicate that the Silent Way method encouraged active participation, learner independence, and greater confidence in speaking English, although some students still required additional support when using irregular past tense forms and speaking in front of peers. This study contributes qualitative evidence on the implementation of the Silent Way method in an Indonesian elementary EFL classroom, an area that has received limited attention in previous research. The findings also provide practical insights for elementary English teachers seeking to implement more student-centered speaking instruction through simple visual media and communicative classroom activities.
