The research aims to find out whether or not the outdoor learning method is effective in improving students’ English-speaking skills. The researcher applied the pre-experimental method, and to achieve the research objectives, data collection was conducted through a pre-test and a post-test. The population of this study is all of the year 10th of SMAN 7 Bulukumba students, and the sample of this study consisted of 35 students of class X.1 in that school was recruited with the cluster random sampling technique. After being analyzed with a T-Test, the results of the pre-test and post-test of students’ English-speaking skills through the outdoor learning method indicate that the probability value, which is 0.001, was significantly lower than the level of significance (0.05). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, and after being analyzed with the N-Gain value, the results showed that the improvement that occurred in the speaking skills of the sample group was low. This implies that the outdoor learning method may need to be combined with other strategies to achieve better results, especially in improving students' speaking, and this method will be taken into consideration for teachers in designing more interesting and interactive learning activities. Therefore, it can be concluded that outdoor learning is effective in improving students' English-speaking skills.

This study examines the significant impact of written feedback on students' learning motivation, focusing on three key types: writing skills feedback, content feedback, and motivational feedback. Utilizing a qualitative research method, data were gathered through structured interviews with seven 8th-grade students at SMPN 18 Makassar, selected through simple random sampling. The research explores how these types of feedback contribute to students' overall academic progress and intrinsic motivation to learn. Writing skills feedback helps students identify and correct errors, enhancing the structure and quality of their written work. Content feedback ensures the clarity, completeness, and understanding of learning materials, allowing students to gain deeper insight into the subject matter. Motivational feedback, on the other hand, plays a critical role in boosting students’ self-confidence, encouraging perseverance, and fostering a positive attitude toward learning. The findings indicate that these three types of written feedback positively influence students’ learning motivation by promoting greater engagement and persistence in learning tasks. Written feedback not only aids in improving students’ writing performance but also contributes to their personal development by making the learning process more interactive and rewarding. The study concludes that the strategic use of written feedback can significantly enhance students’ learning motivation, ultimately leading to better academic outcomes.
