Abstract

Research into willingness to communicate in English has gained momentum in second/foreign language learning recently. Applied linguists have argued for the factors that may hinder learners to communicate in English. However, although extensive studies on willingness to communicate in English have been carried out, the studies have much focused on university and high school students. As a result, very little is known about the hindrances of students' willingness to communicate in English in the context of vocational high schools. To fill such a lacuna, this study was designed to explore hindrances of willingness to communicate in English among Indonesian vocational high school students. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 participants from three Indonesian vocational high schools with regard to the hindrances they encountered when communicating in English. To analyze the data, we employed Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. Findings from the study suggest four emerging themes: 1) lack of self-confidence, 2) presence of fear, 3) teacher's teaching style, 4) and vocabulary provision. Our study reveals that, even though the participants are aware of the problems, situated supports in the forms of out-of-class English communications are needed to help solve their hindrances in English communications. Pedagogical implications of this study are offered at the end of this article.

Abstract

While new teaching model has the potential to develop teaching writing practices, the shift from traditional teacher-centered methods to Project-Based Learning (PBL) remains underexplored in secondary school contexts. This current study addresses this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of PBL in improving students’ writing competencies. The data were obtained through classroom action research with pre-test and post-test. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ writing skills. The students' average scores improved from 65.8 in the pre-test to 72 in the first cycle and 80.1 in the second cycle. These results demonstrate significant enhancement in students' writing abilities following the implementation of PBL. Overall, PBL is considered an effective teaching practice for improving writing skills through problem-solving and collaborative learning. It also fosters critical thinking and creativity among students. Furthermore, this study provides practical insights for educators and curriculum developers on using PBL as a method to improve students' writing proficiency.
