Abstract

Traditional approaches often fail to motivate students and cater to diverse learning styles, further compounded by the limited use of modern educational technologies. A community service program was implemented to address these issues, focusing on contemporary teaching models like the Happy Learning approach and the integration of whiteboard animation. This program explores the challenges high school English teachers face in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, concerning student engagement and effective teaching methods. Over one month, 47 high school English teachers participated in workshops and mentoring sessions designed to enhance their skills in these innovative methods. The results showed notable improvements in teachers' confidence and their ability to manage interactive classes. A significant majority found the contemporary models, including Happy Learning and whiteboard animation, to be effective, although some teachers still preferred traditional methods. Whiteboard animation was recognized for its role in clarifying content and engaging students, with many teachers successfully creating their media using various applications. Additionally, teachers preferred integrating game-based learning with whiteboard animation, indicating a shift towards more dynamic and student-centered teaching practices. This program underscores the effectiveness of combining modern teaching models with technology to improve educational outcomes and teacher effectiveness.

Abstract

General background: Speaking skill is a crucial component of English language proficiency and often becomes a major challenge for students due to anxiety, lack of preparation, and limited vocabulary. Specific background: In many classrooms, conventional methods such as repetition or memorization are less effective in encouraging active participation and confidence. Knowledge gap: Limited studies have explored the role of visual and kinesthetic media, particularly picture puzzles, in strengthening students’ speaking performance. Aim: This study investigates the use of picture puzzle media to improve speaking skills of tenth-grade students at SMA Muhammadiyah 4 Porong. Results: Employing a pre-experimental quantitative design with pre-test and post-test, findings reveal a significant increase in students’ average speaking scores from 75.27 to 88.18 after the treatment. Novelty: The integration of picture puzzles as learning media fosters both creativity and confidence, especially for kinesthetic learners, by linking visual storytelling with oral expression. Implications: These results suggest that picture puzzles can serve as an innovative pedagogical tool in EFL classrooms, providing teachers with practical strategies to reduce speaking anxiety and support students’ active communication. Highlights: Picture puzzles improve speaking performance significantly. Media supports kinesthetic and visual learning styles. Reduces student anxiety in oral activities. Keywords: Speaking skill; Picture Puzzle; EFL Classroom; Kinesthetic Learning; Narrative Text
