Abstract

This study aimed to improve students’ speaking abilities through the use of artificial intelligence in the 2023/2024 school year. The research employed classroom action research involving second-grade students, the researcher, and collaborators. The procedure consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. Qualitative data were obtained through classroom observations, interviews, field notes, photographs, and recordings of the teaching-learning process, while quantitative data were gathered from students’ speaking scores in pre-tests and post-tests, which were analyzed using a t-test. The implementation of artificial intelligence involved the use of English during instruction, engaging media such as pictures, videos, and recordings, feedback on students’ performance, dictionary use, and rewards for active participation. The findings showed that artificial intelligence effectively improved students’ speaking skills, particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary, accuracy, and fluency. Students also became more active, confident, and motivated to speak English and use dictionaries. Overall, the integration of artificial intelligence created a more enjoyable classroom atmosphere and was effective in enhancing students’ speaking abilities.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the application, effectiveness, and supporting and inhibiting factors of using the role playing method in improving students' speaking skills in Indonesian language learning in class VI at Muhammadiyah 1 Elementary School, Sorong City. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a focus on in-depth understanding of the learning process. Data was obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. The research results show that the application of the role playing method is carried out through systematic stages: introduction, core activities (distribution of scenarios and roles, acting, discussion, evaluation), and closing (conclusion and reflection). This method has proven to be effective in improving students' speaking skills, which can be seen from increasing speaking fluency, vocabulary diversity, and active participation in learning. The learning atmosphere becomes more enjoyable and encourages students to dare to communicate. Factors supporting the success of this method include teacher creativity and student enthusiasm, while the main challenge is the teacher's readiness to design and guide the implementation of role playing optimally. Thus, the role playing method can be used as an innovative and effective alternative Indonesian language learning strategy.
