Abstract

Speaking is one of the most essential skills in English as a Foreign Language learning; however, many students still experience difficulties in developing this skill. This study aims to identify the factors inhibiting English speaking skills among students of the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University. This research employed a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires distributed to approximately 50 third-semester students using a Likert scale, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with six selected participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students’ speaking difficulties are influenced by both linguistic and psychological factors. Vocabulary limitation was identified as the most dominant factor. In addition, psychological factors such as anxiety and fear of making mistakes reduced students’ confidence and willingness to speak. In contrast, environmental factors, particularly peer support, were not considered significant barriers but rather facilitated speaking development. In conclusion, speaking difficulties result from the interaction of multiple factors; therefore, improving speaking skills requires an integrated approach that enhances vocabulary mastery, increases practice opportunities, and fosters a supportive learning environment.

Abstract

This study explores English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ attitudes toward British, American, and Indonesian English accents at Tadulako University, as well as the internal and external factors influencing their preferences. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, this research involved five undergraduate students from the English Education Study Program, with three selected for in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data were collected through informal observation, interviews, and field notes, and analyzed using thematic analysis based on Braun and Clarke’s framework. The findings reveal that students prioritize clarity and intelligibility as the most important characteristics of a good English accent, particularly in academic communication. While British and American accents are perceived as more fluent, prestigious, and associated with higher language proficiency, Indonesian English accent is valued for its familiarity and role in representing cultural identity. Additionally, students’ attitudes are shaped by social expectations, peer perceptions, and exposure to media, which often create pressure to adopt native-like accents. Despite this, participants generally recognize that effective communication does not require imitation of native speakers. This study highlights the complexity of students’ attitudes, which balance admiration for native accents with acceptance of local identity. It supports the perspective of English as an International Language (EIL), emphasizing intelligibility over native-like pronunciation. The findings suggest the importance of fostering inclusive language teaching practices that promote confidence, respect accent diversity, and prioritize communicative effectiveness in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Speaking ability remains a challenge for many Grade Seven EFL students, particularly in terms of fluency and comprehensibility, which are essential components of effective oral communication. This study aims to investigate whether implementing structured group discussion can improve students’ speaking fluency and comprehensibility at SMPN 7 Palu. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving an experimental class that received five sessions of group discussion treatment and a control class that was taught through conventional instruction. Both groups were administered pre-tests and post-tests focusing on fluency and comprehensibility. The data were analyzed using paired-samples t-test procedures. The results indicate that students in the experimental class demonstrated significantly greater improvement in speaking performance than those in the control class. The findings were further supported by observational data indicating increased student participation, reduced hesitation, and clearer organization of ideas during speaking activities. These results suggest that structured group discussion provides an effective interactive learning environment that supports smoother speech and improved comprehensibility. Therefore, the regular use of group discussion is recommended as an instructional strategy to enhance junior high school students’ oral communicative competence.

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.

Abstract

Purpose – Students' writing and 4C skills (critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity) remain underdeveloped. This is due to the limited use of innovative learning models and formative assessment—an educational process providing feedback during learning—in classrooms. This research examined whether integrating problem-based learning (PBL), an approach using real-world problems, with formative assessment can improve students’ writing. The study also explored how this integration affects their writing and 4C skills.Methodology – The study used a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. The sample included fourth-semester students from the Writing in Professional Context course, specifically Class B. Researchers collected performance assessments and interviews and analyzed the data using both quantitative and qualitative methods.Findings – Quantitative results showed that integrating PBL and formative assessment significantly improved students’ writing skills. Qualitative results indicated that this integration also improved writing structure, coherence, diction, and argument development. The integration enhanced writing performance and fostered 4C skills (critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity).Contribution – This research advances writing pedagogy and 21st-century skills by guiding educators to adopt innovative, student-centered learning practices.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the experiences and challenges faced by non-English teachers who were occasionally required to teach English in primary schools when specialized teachers were unable to attend classes. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with three non-English teachers from rural primary schools in Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi. The findings revealed that non-English teachers felt pressured and unprepared due to the lack of prior preparation in English instruction. They experienced difficulties in selecting appropriate teaching methods, pronunciation, and vocabulary, which led to hesitation in acting as language models for students. To cope with these challenges, teachers relied heavily on online resources such as Google Translate and instructional videos. Although these strategies helped maintain classroom activities, instruction often focused on repeating previously taught materials rather than introducing new content, resulting in limited student learning progress and misalignment with curriculum objectives. Despite these constraints, the teachers expressed strong motivation and enthusiasm for professional development. The study highlighted the urgent need for basic English instruction training for non-English teachers to strengthen their linguistic competence and instructional confidence.

Abstract

This study explores the role of YouTube videos in teaching English speaking skills at MI Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu. The study aims to investigate how YouTube videos are used in speaking instruction, the benefits perceived by the teacher, and the challenges encountered during their implementation. A qualitative research design was employed, involving one English teacher as the sole participant. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted in Indonesian and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that YouTube videos serve as an effective instructional medium for teaching speaking, particularly for young learners. The teacher used short, colorful, and age-appropriate videos as warming-up activities, pronunciation models, and stimuli for speaking practice. Follow-up activities such as repetition, question-and-answer sessions, role play, and retelling encouraged students to participate actively and practice English more confidently. The study also found that YouTube videos improved students' pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, motivation, and confidence in speaking English. However, several challenges were identified, including unstable internet connection, advertisements, and students' tendency to become passive viewers if not guided properly. To address these challenges, the teacher downloaded videos beforehand and actively engaged students through questioning and interactive speaking tasks. Although these findings provide valuable insights into the teacher's experience, they are based on a single participant and therefore should not be generalized to all English teachers or educational contexts. In conclusion, YouTube videos can effectively support the teaching of English-speaking skills when integrated with appropriate material selection, interactive activities, and active teacher guidance.
