Abstract

This research aims to enhance the English speaking skills of 10th-grade students at MA Tahfidzul Qur'an Darussalam Muhammadiyah Purbalingga through applying Task-Based Learning (TBL) and Role-play techniques, explicitly focusing on descriptive texts. As speaking remains a critical component of language proficiency, many students struggle with fluency and confidence in English communication. This study employs Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a three-cycle model comprising four key stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques, such as pre-test and post-tests. By integrating TBL and Role Play, which emphasize interactive, student-centred learning and real-life context application, the research explores the effectiveness of these methods in improving students' speaking abilities. Preliminary results suggest that combining task-based activities and role-playing significantly increases student engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and speaking proficiency. Since the average student score before applying the Task-Based Learning method with the Role Play strategy was 6.5, the average score in Cycle I increased to 8.3 and in Cycle II, it further improved to 9.8. The findings provide valuable insights for educators looking to foster an engaging and effective learning environment in secondary schools.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving Junior High School students’ English speaking skills. The research was motivated by students’ low speaking achievement, particularly in expressing likes and dislikes. A Classroom Action Research design based on the Kemmis and Taggart model was employed, comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. The participants were 20 seventh-grade students. Data were collected through classroom observations, documentation, and field notes, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The findings indicate a steady improvement in students’ speaking performance across research cycles. In the pre-cycle phase, only 30% of students met the minimum mastery criterion, with an average score of 63.5. This figure increased to 50% in Cycle I and reached 90% in Cycle II, exceeding the predetermined success criterion of 80%. The results demonstrate that the implementation of PBL significantly enhances students’ English speaking skills. In addition to improving learning outcomes, PBL fostered students’ critical and analytical thinking, self-confidence, pronunciation accuracy, intonation, and speaking fluency. These findings suggest that PBL is an effective instructional model for developing speaking competence in English language learning.
