Abstract

The research using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method aims to help students enhance their speaking abilities through Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) using the Wordwall game. This research is motivated by the low speaking skills of students at the elementary level who need innovative methods to increase their participation and speaking ability. This CAR method involves four steps, each consisting of observation, planning, action, and reflection. The findings of this research revealed a considerable improvement in the use of the Wordwall game, including increased active involvement and confidence in speaking. In conclusion, the use of DGBL with Wordwall proved effective in improving the speaking skills of students at the elementary level, as well as creating a more interactive and fun learning environment. This study recommends further use of this method in various educational contexts to improve students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

There is an increasing importance of English speaking proficiency in today's era and there comes with challenges that students face in mastering this skill. It calls the necessity of enhancing speaking skills for 21st-century learners and proposes an innovative approach— news reporting practice aided by Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The research aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of news reporting as a method to improve students' speaking abilities, leveraging ICT tools such as video creation and platforms like "Flipgrid." Various challenges inhibiting students' progress in speaking English, such as lack of confidence, pronunciation differences, limited vocabulary, and grammar issues, are discussed. The study at Jin Seung High School focuses on assessing students' speaking skills through questionnaires and implementing interventions using video-based learning facilitated by ICT tools. The research questions revolve around the potential development of speaking skills through news reporting in ICT and the impact of ICT on students' mastery of speaking skills. The findings showed that Flipgrid effectively enhances high school students' English-speaking skills by providing a time-efficient, easy-to-use platform that boosts confidence and reduces anxiety. However, further research with larger samples and objective proficiency measures is needed to confirm these findings and address technical issues.

The study you provided explores the role of ID in determining WTC in EFL learners, emphasizing how these differences affect language proficiency and communicative competence. The main gap addressed in this study is the lack of focus on personalized language learning strategies that take into account individual differences in WTC and proficiency among EFL learners The study employs a qualitative method, data were collected through questionnaires for selective the participants by using the purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews were driven with the selected participants. The result has showed that factors such as self-confidence, motivation, language anxiety, classroom atmosphere, and peer support significantly shaped students’ WTC. Students with positive self-perception and supportive environment were likely have the L2 willingness to communicate in English. On the other hand, anxiety, fear of making mistakes, and unsupportive settings hindered participation. An effective strategy identified was personal preparation that gradually facilitated the students to the speaking opportunities and fostering a supportive and non-judgmental classroom environment. The research highlights the importance of considering individual learning characteristics in designing communicative language learning strategies to improve students speaking confidence and language acquisition outcomes. The further implications of teaching and learning process should be more open to facilitate student’s IDs and to be more personalized.
