Abstract

Many university students experience difficulties in academic English speaking due to limited vocabulary, grammatical problems, nervousness, and the need to convey ideas clearly. To cope with these challenges, students often switch between English and Bahasa Indonesia during speaking activities. This study aims to examine the frequency of code-switching in academic speaking and to identify the main factors influencing its use among EFL university students. This study employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 32 third-semester students in an English for Public Speaking course at Tadulako University. Data were collected through a 20-item questionnaire covering linguistic, psychological, communicative, and social factors, supported by semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that code-switching occurs very frequently, with 96.88% of students reporting frequent use. Linguistic factors were the most dominant, followed by social and communicative factors, while psychological factors had the lowest influence. Interview data confirmed that students use code-switching to maintain fluency, clarify meaning, and support interaction. Overall, code-switching is a common and strategic practice that helps students manage academic speaking challenges in multilingual EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Speaking self-efficacy plays a crucial role in EFL learners’ oral performance, as it influences confidence, anxiety management, and willingness to communicate. Despite the growing integration of artificial intelligence in language learning, empirical studies exploring students’ perceptions of AI voice-based tools, particularly ChatGPT Voice, remain limited in the Indonesian EFL context, especially among English major students. This study aims to investigate English Education students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT Voice and examine how it contributes to their speaking self-efficacy. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through preliminary observation interviews and in-depth semi-structured interviews with seventh-semester English Education students at Tadulako University. The findings reveal that ChatGPT Voice positively influences students’ speaking self-efficacy by increasing confidence, reducing speaking anxiety, improving fluency and vocabulary, and enhancing motivation and enjoyment. Despite minor technical challenges, students generally perceived the tool as supportive and effective. This study concludes that ChatGPT Voice serves as a valuable supplementary tool for fostering speaking self-efficacy in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study was conducted to address the problem of low pronunciation ability among EFL students, particularly in producing accurate phonemes and applying correct word stress, which is caused by limited practice, low confidence, and lack of motivation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the ELSA Speak application in improving students’ pronunciation ability at SMK Yadika Palu. This study employed an applied quantitative research method using a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group. The participants were 40 eleventh-grade students, equally divided into two groups. The experimental group received pronunciation instruction using the ELSA Speak application, while the control group received conventional pronunciation instruction. Data were obtained through pre-test and post-test assessments focusing on phoneme articulation and word stress and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the Mann–Whitney U test, and effect size calculation. The results showed that both groups had similar pre-test mean scores, indicating comparable initial pronunciation ability. However, the post-test results revealed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher mean score than the control group. The Mann–Whitney U test indicated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) with a very large effect size, demonstrating that the ELSA Speak application had a strong positive effect on students’ pronunciation improvement. Therefore, this study concludes that ELSA Speak is an effective Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) tool for enhancing pronunciation instruction in vocational high school contexts.
