Abstract

This study examines the role of impromptu speaking in enhancing spontaneous communication skills among university EFL students. The research aims to identify the primary challenges students encounter during impromptu speech and the strategies they utilize before, during, and after the activity. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving 44 sixth-semester English major students at Universitas Jambi. Instruments included interview guides and observation checklists. The findings indicate that the main difficulties experienced by students are limited vocabulary, anxiety, poor sentence organization, and unfamiliarity with topics. To address these challenges, students employed various communication strategies, such as simplifying vocabulary, using synonyms, managing anxiety through breathing techniques, and drawing on personal experiences. Post-speech strategies involved vocabulary expansion through reading, regular practice of spontaneous speaking, and seeking peer feedback. The study concludes that despite inherent challenges, impromptu speaking is an effective tool for promoting speaking fluency, confidence, and practical communicative competence. It is recommended that EFL instructors incorporate impromptu speaking activities into their curricula, providing on-going support and strategic guidance to foster students' competence and confidence in speaking.

Abstract

Language acquisition is influenced by both internal and external factors, including cognitive and IQ development. External factors arise from environmental influences, such as age, gender, intelligence, environment, economy, and social issues. Previous studies have looked at this type of study. However, no one had undertaken a research on this issue, such as morphology and phonology, in the contexts where the current study was conducted, and the comparative ages were only three years old children. These fills one of these gaps. This study aims to analyze the stages of phonology and morphology experienced by two children aged 3 years and above, focusing on the role of parents, particularly mothers, in influencing children's language acquisition. The descriptive qualitative method is used, and data is collected from children's utterances in natural context. findings show that F.A. (a 3-year-old girl) pronounced more phonemes and morphemes than M.A (a 3-year-old boy) and produced clearer utterances. Parental factors also play a role in child language, with both mothers using technology like YouTube animated videos to support language acquisition. This research fills a gap in previous studies on language acquisition in children of different topic and ages.

Abstract

Speaking remains one of the most challenging skills for beginner-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Indonesia. Limited exposure to native speakers and the predominance of traditional teaching methods often result in pronunciation errors, insufficient vocabulary, speaking anxiety, and low fluency. This single-case study investigated the language learning strategies used by eight beginner EFL students in the Discover 1 class at FL Haus Indonesia. Data were collected through four non-participatory classroom observations (90 minutes each) and semi-structured interviews (15–20 minutes each). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis in NVivo software, following Miles et al.’s (2014) framework of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Triangulation was applied to enhance the trustworthiness of the findings. The results revealed that compensatory strategies (e.g., gestures) and social strategies (e.g., peer support) were the most frequently used and were perceived as highly effective in promoting practice, reducing anxiety, and increasing engagement. The main challenges faced by the learners were emotional (e.g., fear of making mistakes) and linguistic (e.g., forgetting words), which were primarily managed through compensatory and affective strategies. These findings are consistent with Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL, 1990) and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, underscoring the importance of strategy instruction to foster learner autonomy. The study acknowledges the limitation of its small sample size. Pedagogical implications include integrating technology and group activities in beginner EFL classrooms. The Future research may explore the long-term effects of strategy use on speaking development.
