Abstract

Speaking fluency remains a persistent challenge for EFL learners in Indonesia, where students frequently exhibit limited oral proficiency due to insufficient practice opportunities, speaking anxiety, and traditional teaching methods. This descriptive qualitative study explores the implementation of role-playing segmented scenes from the Pixar animated film Inside Out 2 as an innovative strategy to enhance senior high school students’ English speaking fluency. The research was conducted with 20 students from class X-5 at SMAN 6 Sidrap, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Ten students were purposively selected as key informants. Data were collected through pre- and post-intervention speaking fluency tests, semi-structured interviews, and classroom documentation. Fluency was assessed using the indicators of total words attempted (TWA), total speaking time (TST), filled speaking time (FST), and total words delivered (TWD). These quantitative indicators were converted into disfluency percentage, initial speaking rate (ISR), and effective speaking rate (ESR), while qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings demonstrate that role-playing segmented scenes from Inside Out 2 effectively improved students’ speaking fluency. Post-intervention results showed increased speaking rates, reduced pauses and hesitations, and greater confidence and active participation. Students expressed highly positive responses, highlighting increased motivation, reduced anxiety, and a more engaging learning atmosphere through this context-rich, media-based activity. The study underscores the pedagogical value of integrating popular animated films into role-play activities as a practical and motivating approach to developing oral communication skills in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study examined the effectiveness of AI chatbot-based English learning methods, specifically using TalkPal AI, in improving eleventh-grade students’ speaking skills at SMAN 11 Sidrap, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed for the quantitative phase, while semi-structured interviews provided qualitative insights into students’ perceptions. The experimental group (n = 18 for post-test) engaged in interactive speaking practice with TalkPal AI, while the control group (n = 14) received conventional teacher-centered instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests assessed using Brown’s (2004) rubric across five components fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and coherence and interviews with ten purposively selected students from the experimental group. Quantitative analysis revealed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher post-test mean score (M = 23.17) compared to the control group (M = 12.57). The Mann-Whitney U test confirmed a statistically significant difference between groups (p < 0.001), indicating the effectiveness of the AI chatbot intervention. Qualitative findings showed overwhelmingly positive perceptions: students reported increased confidence, motivation, fluency, pronunciation, and reduced speaking anxiety, attributing these gains to the chatbot’s interactive, non-judgmental, and flexible learning environment. Minor challenges included unstable internet connections and initial familiarity with the application. The results demonstrate that AI chatbot-based methods, such as TalkPal AI, constitute an effective and innovative approach for enhancing EFL learners’ speaking proficiency in secondary education contexts. Pedagogical implications for technology-integrated language teaching and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This study developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a Google Sites-based School Literacy Movement (GLS) program to improve reading comprehension skills among fifth-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 1 Rijang Panua, Indonesia. The research was driven by the moderate literacy achievement of 55.33% reported in the 2024 Education Report, stemming from suboptimal GLS implementation that emphasized routine reading without structured comprehension assessment and relied on conventional, less engaging media. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the study produced “SIBACA SITES” (Smart Reading System Based on Google Sites), an interactive web-based platform integrating contextual reading texts, multimedia resources, comprehension exercises, and interactive features. Expert validation by material, media, instructional design, and language specialists yielded very high feasibility scores (89%, 91%, 92%, and 91%, respectively), placing the product in the “very feasible” category. Limited trials (n=10) resulted in an average N-gain score of 0.60 (moderate effectiveness), while extensive trials (n=25) demonstrated more substantial gains: 16 students in the moderate category and 9 in the high category, with no students in the low category. Questionnaire responses from students and teachers indicated highly positive perceptions regarding attractiveness, usability, and learning benefits. The findings confirm that the Google Sites-based GLS program is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing reading comprehension. Theoretically, it strengthens digital literacy, multimodal literacy, and constructivist learning principles. Practically, it offers an innovative, technology-integrated model for implementing the School Literacy Movement in elementary schools, supporting 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

This study examined whether the Total Physical Response (TPR) method significantly improved the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Pangsid. A quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was used. The population comprised 78 seventh-grade students in the 2025/2026 academic year, and 25 students from Class VII A were selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments were a 20-item multiple-choice vocabulary test and a classroom observation sheet. The test measured word meaning, pronunciation, and vocabulary use, while the observation focused on attention to commands, appropriate physical responses, active participation, and enthusiasm. The treatment was conducted in three instructional meetings through teacher commands, action modeling, repetition, individual and group responses, and simple role reversal. The results showed that the mean score increased from 66.60 on the pre-test to 85.60 on the post-test. The Shapiro-Wilk results indicated that both score distributions were normal, with significance values of 0.080 and 0.067. The paired sample t-test yielded a mean difference of 19.00 points, t(24) = -5.603, and p < 0.001. Classroom observation also showed that students paid attention, responded physically, participated actively, and demonstrated enthusiasm during TPR activities. These findings indicate that TPR significantly improved students’ vocabulary mastery and supported a more active, enjoyable, and low-anxiety learning environment.
