Abstract

Understanding professional ethics in the workplace is a crucial aspect for students in Vocational High Schools (SMK) to prepare themselves for entering the workforce. This ethics is not only related to technical skills but also encompasses attitudes, behavior, and the ability to interact professionally. One of the most critical aspects is interview etiquette, as a student’s success is often determined by how they behave and communicate during the interview. An interview is not just about answering questions, but also an opportunity to present a positive self-image. Therefore, students need to understand how to use appropriate body language, manage facial expressions, and answer questions confidently. To address this need, the community service team from the D-III English Language Study Program at Politeknik Negeri Madiun conducted an interview etiquette training at SMK Widjaya Ngoro, Jombang. The training was delivered through interactive discussions and hands-on practice. In the discussion session, students learned preparation strategies, interview etiquette, and follow-up actions after the interview. Furthermore, through simulations, students were able to practice communication skills, improve their attitudes, and build confidence. This activity proved to be beneficial as it enriched knowledge and provided practical experience that is relevant for facing job selection processes in the future.

The main objective of this research is to explore how students perceive the tool’s effectiveness, usefulness, interactivity, and overall learning experience when using it for speaking practice. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through semi-structured interviews involving students who had used Smalltalk2Me as part of their English-speaking activities. The interview data were analyzed thematically to identify emerging patterns related to engagement, motivation, and skill development. The findings reveal that students view Smalltalk2Me as an effective and accessible tool that enhances speaking fluency and confidence since it allows practice anytime and anywhere. Students also appreciate its realistic conversation simulations and personalized feedback, which help them recognize pronunciation errors, improve vocabulary use, and refine sentence structure. Additionally, the AI assistant creates a supportive and low-anxiety learning environment, making learners more comfortable expressing themselves in English. Overall, the study concludes that Smalltalk2Me serves as a valuable supplementary tool for improving students’ speaking competence and fostering autonomous learning in technology-enhanced language classrooms.

Abstract

This classroom action research (CAR) aims to improve students’ English-speaking skills in formal communication contexts. The study focuses on second-semester students of the Business and Professional Communication Study Program at Politeknik Negeri Madiun in the 2024/2025 academic year. The main problem addressed is the students’ low ability to speak English formally and fluently. The objective is to determine whether watching YouTube videos can enhance students’ formal speaking performance. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were obtained from students’ performance scores before and during the implementation, while quantitative data were gathered through observations, questionnaires, and interviews to compare pre-test and post-test results. The intervention used several active viewing techniques, including active viewing, freeze framing and prediction, silent viewing, and reproduction activity. The findings indicate a consistent improvement in students’ speaking abilities across all research cycles. The average scores increased from 61.1 in the pre-test, to 63.6 in post-test Cycle I, 66.6 in Cycle II, and 70.0 in Cycle III. These results demonstrate that integrating YouTube videos with active viewing techniques effectively enhances students’ formal speaking competence. In conclusion, the use of interactive video-based learning can significantly support the development of English-speaking skills in formal contexts for vocational students.
