Abstract

EFL Students’ needs for spoken English are considered important to fulfill, and the idea to capture what they need requires some ways and efforts so as to make them eager and keen on practicing English better. However, an analysis on needs environment is not much discussed and conducted for EFL students, mainly in lower secondary schools. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the needs of EFL students in terms of enhancing their English-speaking skills in lower secondary schools. Three ninth-grade students from three distinct lower secondary schools located in Depok, West Java, Indonesia were the subjects of the research. This study employed a qualitative design with descriptive analysis, and the instrument used to collect the data was semi-structured interviews. The resulting data was analyzed with some steps such as reduction of data, data display, and data presentation. The results demonstrated that EFL students’ English-speaking proficiency is influenced by a variety of needs, including necessities, lacks, and wants. Considering the significance of these needs in the enhancement of EFL students' English-speaking abilities, it is advisable that teachers of English should comprehend and employ efficient learning strategies and stimulating learning media that facilitate the progress of students' English-speaking capabilities.

Abstract

English language learning plays an important role in developing EFL students' competencies in the era of globalization, yet low student engagement remains a major challenge due to monotonous learning methods. This study aims to investigate how Game-Based Learning (GBL) enhances students' engagement as well as explore their experiences during the learning process. Using thematic analysis, the findings show that GBL encourages behavioural engagement through active participation, collaboration, and adherence to game rules; emotional engagement through fun, enthusiasm in group learning, and excitement during competition; and cognitive engagement through increased curiosity, use of strategies, and reflection on self-development. The implications of this study suggest that teachers need to integrate game elements that support peer teaching, emotional safety and strategic thinking - such as time-based group games or language puzzles - tailored to students' ability levels to create more inclusive, fun and meaningful learning.
