Abstract

English, among thousands of languages, is the most widespread and spoken by people around the world. Students in Indonesia, in particular, oftentimes measure their English mastery by evaluating to what extent their speaking fluency. It, thus, becomes challenging since they are not merely called for producing words but are required to apply the appropriate way of delivering the messages as well. With that in mind, this article aimed at figuring out the common challenges, which in turn lead to students’ speaking disfluency. Moreover, to unearth the answer to the objectives, this study applied qualitative library research which primarily focused on analyzing the secondary data such as online books, and articles as the sources. Finally, the challenges found encountered by the students to get fluency were affected by eight factors such as; Vocabulary, Grammar, Anxiety, Lack of Motivation, Learning Environment, Teachers’ Teaching Strategies, Self-Confidence, and Age. Besides, this article also proposed alternative solutions for both teachers and students in overcoming the issues. In a nutshell, the researcher hopes that this paper would benefit the upcoming researchers to be cited as an additional reference in English studies, and for teachers to be a guide to promote students’ speaking fluency.

Abstract

Despite its significance particularly when it comes to writing competence, numerous studies have revealed that grammar is still considered complicated to grasp and used by students. The purpose of this study was to determine how video-based instruction affects students' understanding of grammar in writing assignments. This sequential explanatory mixed-method study aimed to investigate how students' grammatical skills especially in degree of comparison might be improved. Quantitative evaluations such as creating written test materials for the students and qualitative interviews with both teachers and students were employed. The findings showed that students' comprehension of grammatical rules for statistical tests had improved. Descriptive data evidenced that the students were clearly excited, enthralled, and actively involved with the tactics; served as a scaffold to lower obstacles; enhanced language learners' understanding; and increased students' vocabulary. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches evidenced the significance of implementing English videos to promote students’ grammatical competence in writing skills. The study's implications and suggestions are discussed.
