Abstract

Oral communication has emerged as a crucial skill in language acquisition, particularly in learning English. For students learning English as a foreign language, speaking English poses a significant challenge that requires considerable effort to articulate coherent statements. The research focused on identifying psychological factors that impact students' speaking performance, with a particular emphasis on determining which variable has the most significant effect. Data was gathered through observation, questionnaires, and unstructured interviews. The study revealed that despite students' motivation and positive attitude towards English speaking in the classroom, anxiety and lack of self-confidence remain key obstacles that prevent them from speaking confidently. These psychological barriers stem from a fear of erring and being subjected to derision by one's peers. Further, it was found that anxiety was the most psychological factor affecting students’ speaking performance. To address these issues, many students believe that boosting their confidence in speaking English is crucial. This underscores the significance of educators being mindful of the difficulties their students face in speaking English during lessons.

Abstract

The research was conducted at SMPN Tublopo, involving eighth grade students. Applying a qualitative method, the study focused on assessing the students' proficiency in utilizing adverbs in descriptive writing. Additionally, it sought to identify the challenges they faced in using adverbs in their compositions. The research employed written tests and interviews as data collection tools. The findings revealed that the students achieved an average score of 80, indicating an excellent level of performance. The result of the interview revealed that majority of students possess a comprehension of adverbs related to time and place, whereas they struggle with the usage of other types of adverbs. This challenge arose due to their difficulty in distinguishing between these different categories of adverbs. Keywords: Ability, Adverbs, Analyzing, Descriptive Text, Writing

Abstract

Since teaching English is a crucial policy in Indonesian education and a global demand, this community service program aimed to help learners at the primary level by encouraging their eagerness to learn English as early as possible. This service program was conducted at Petra Kindergarten, located in Kefamenanu, Timor Tengah Utara Regency. The participants in this program are children aged 4 to 6. The program aimed to motivate those children to learn English by providing an enjoyable class. Additionally, this program facilitated English Education Study Program students at Timor University to apply the theory they had learned in the EYL subject in real-world practice. This service program was done by implementing the edutainment method using games, songs, and other interesting media. The program was held for five months and divided into 20 sessions. The evaluation revealed that the children showed significant improvement in mastering English vocabulary and speaking skills, particularly their vocabulary related to classrooms, schools, body parts, food, drinks, and other objects around them, which increased by approximately 30%. This clearly demonstrates that the program has significantly increased the children’s willingness and motivation to learn English at Petra Kindergarten. The team hopes that this program can serve as a model for other institutions in improving English learning at the preschool level through edutainment methods.

Abstract

Speaking, from the point of view of educational evaluation is considered special because it is interactive and must be measured through direct interaction. This study focuses on the types of speaking tests used by EFL teachers and the challenges faced by EFL teachers in constructing and administering the test. Two EFL teachers from two schools located in Kefamenanu were the subjects of the study. The descriptive qualitative method was employed in conducting this study. The instruments used were the documentation of speaking tests and interviews. Later, the data were analyzed qualitatively. The research results revealed that there were nine types of speaking tests used by the teachers namely oral presentations, free interviews, information transfer questions on a single picture, role play, paraphrasing, giving instructions and directions, conversation, and translation. The challenges faced by the teachers in assessing students’ speaking skills were insufficient time to prepare for the test, the short time to test all students, and no test training provided for the teachers.
