Abstract

This research explores the strategies used by visually impaired students in learning English and the facilities they need to support their learning. Conducted at SLB-A Yapti Makassar, the study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings revealed that the visually impaired students utilized various strategies including audio-based learning, peer support, and memorization. The most crucial facilities for these students were assistive technology tools such as screen readers, braille books, and a supportive learning environment. Teachers also played a significant role in adapting materials and providing multisensory instruction. The study concludes that inclusive English language learning for visually impaired students requires collaborative strategies, accessible resources, and trained educators.

Abstract

This study aims to explore participants’ anxiety in speaking at the EZPZ English Community. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The subjects consisted of 22 individuals, referred to as ‘participants,’ who participated in speaking sessions during FEZ activities. Data collection techniques included observation and interviews. The findings revealed two types of symptoms: psychological symptoms (nervousness, worry, difficulty concentrating, and blanking) and physiological symptoms (object touching, trembling, sweating, stammering, and avoiding eye contact). The participants experienced state anxiety and situation-specific anxiety. The contributing factors of anxiety were categorized into linguistic factors (lack of vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, lack of fluency, and limited exposure to the target language) and non-linguistic factors (communication apprehension and fear of negative evaluation). To overcome anxiety, participants employed four common strategies: preparation, positive thinking, relaxation, and peer seeking, along with a newly uncovered strategy called 'calm retreat.' This study highlights that speaking anxiety is a critical concern not only in formal educational institutions but also in non-formal learning environments. Addressing this issue requires implementing suitable strategies that accommodate individual needs to help learners overcome the barriers preventing them from expressing their opinions.

Abstract

 This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the question-and-answer teaching method in improving students’ self-confidence in speaking English. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 34 students from class X.E4 at SMAN 5 Jeneponto, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a speaking confidence test assessed using five self-confidence indicators adapted from Brown (2004), namely eye contact, facial expression, voice volume, fluency, and willingness to speak. The data were analyzed using a Paired Sample T-Test and N- Gain Score. The t-test result showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the students’ pre-test and post- test scores. The average N-Gain score was 0.19, which falls into the low category. Nevertheless, there was a positive shift in students’ confidence levels—from “Not Confident” to “Moderately Confident.” This low gain may have been caused by the short duration of the treatment. The study concludes that the question-and-answer method is effective in enhancing students’ speaking confidence, especially by creating an interactive and supportive classroom environment. Keywords: Question-and-Answer Teaching Method, Speaking Self-Confidence.
