Abstract

This study aims to improve the English speaking skills of 6th grade high school students at Wittaya Islamic School in Thailand through the application of a group podcast strategy. This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, which was carried out in two cycles. The problems encountered were the students' low English speaking skills due to limitations in constructing spoken sentences, low self-confidence, limited vocabulary, and psychological factors such as shyness and fear of making mistakes. The results showed a significant improvement in three main indicators: teacher activity increased from 68% (poor category) to 85% (excellent category), student activity increased from 60.73% (fair category) to 75% (good category), and student test scores increased dramatically from 52.12% (poor category) to 84.62% (excellent category). The most notable improvement occurred in test scores, with a difference of 32.5%. This study proves that the group podcast strategy is effective in improving students' English speaking skills because this strategy encourages collaboration, boosts confidence, expands vocabulary, and creates a meaningful and contextual learning environment

Abstract

Post-thesis celebrations in higher education are often viewed as informal or peripheral activities, yet they constitute rich communicative spaces where language, identity, and culture intersect. This study investigates Semprotulation, a student-initiated celebratory ritual performed after thesis defenses, to examine its meanings, symbols, and interactional dynamics as well as its pedagogical implications for language learning. Employing a qualitative-dominant mixed-method design, the research integrates ethnographic observation, multimodal discourse analysis, interviews, and questionnaires involving 48 students and 10 academic staff at an Indonesian university. Data were collected through video recordings, field notes, and participant reflections, and analyzed thematically and interactionally to identify recurring linguistic and symbolic patterns. The findings reveal that Semprotulation operates as a structured multimodal genre characterized by humorous teasing, congratulatory formulas, code-switching practices, embodied gestures, and symbolic artifacts such as water and flour that index renewal and solidarity. These practices facilitate emotional release, strengthen peer cohesion, and create authentic opportunities for spontaneous language use and digital literacy through social media documentation. From a sociolinguistic and pedagogical perspective, the ritual functions as an informal site of language socialization that complements formal instruction by fostering communicative confidence, identity negotiation, and collaborative learning. The study contributes to applied linguistics and language education by reframing campus cultural traditions as meaningful educational resources and recommends integrating students’ lived communicative practices into culturally responsive and multimodal language pedagogy.
