Abstract

The use of digital learning tools has become increasingly influential in language education, particularly in facilitating vocabulary acquisition. However, in contexts such as Papua, Indonesia is characterized by limited resources and significant cultural diversity, the integration of these tools presents distinct challenges and opportunities. This study investigated the role of digital tools in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among English Education students in Papua, examined the challenges encountered by educators and learners, and proposes strategies for adapting these tools to better reflect the region's unique cultural and linguistic landscape. Adopting a qualitative research approach, the study gathered data through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving participants from both teachers and students of Papua. Thematic analysis was employed to extract key themes and patterns from the data. The findings indicated that digital tools, such as Kahoot, Quizziz, Quizlet and Duolingo, support vocabulary development by offering gamified, interactive, and self-directed learning opportunities. Nonetheless, their impact is constrained by infrastructural deficiencies, disparities in access to technology, and limited digital literacy among educators and students. Furthermore, the absence of culturally relevant content diminished engagement and reduced the tools’ effectiveness within the local context. The study concluded that while digital tools hold significant potential to enhance English Education, their successful implementation necessitates addressing infrastructural challenges, enhancing educator training, and developing culturally adapted resources. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of digital learning in multilingual and under-resourced environments, offering actionable recommendations for improving language education in Papua.

Program pelatihan dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2025 dengan melibatkan 55 praja sebagai peserta aktif. Pelatihan dilaksanakan selama tiga kali pertemuan, masing-masing berdurasi dua jam, menggunakan kombinasi metode ceramah, simulasi, praktik langsung, dan role-play. Materi pelatihan meliputi opening speech, presenting topic, handling Q&A, dan body language dalam konteks akademik, dengan pendekatan experiential learning yang menekankan pengalaman langsung dan refleksi performa. Hasil kegiatan berdasarkan kuesioner pasca-pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa 72,7% peserta sangat setuju dan 21,8% setuju bahwa pelatihan meningkatkan kepercayaan diri mereka dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris, sementara 5,5% peserta bersikap netral dan tidak terdapat respons negatif. Selain itu, 94,6% peserta menyatakan bahwa pelatihan membantu mereka dalam menyusun struktur presentasi berbahasa Inggris secara lebih sistematis. Pada aspek relevansi materi, 94,5% peserta menyatakan bahwa materi handling Q&A dan body language sesuai dengan kebutuhan mereka dalam konteks akademik. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, kegiatan pelatihan ini menunjukkan kontribusi positif terhadap penguatan kepercayaan diri, kemampuan presentasi, serta keterampilan non-verbal peserta dalam seminar berbahasa Inggris. Kegiatan serupa direkomendasikan untuk dikembangkan secara berkelanjutan dengan durasi yang lebih panjang serta dilengkapi dengan penilaian performatif agar peningkatan kompetensi komunikasi akademik dapat terukur secara lebih objektif.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety remains one of the most persistent affective barriers that hinders students’ oral performance in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, particularly in contexts with limited exposure to English communication. This study aims to explore how university students experience speaking anxiety, identify classroom situations that trigger anxiety, examine its influence on participation and oral performance, and investigate students’ coping strategies in a Papuan EFL classroom. A qualitative case study design was employed involving 20 second-semester English Education students at a public university in Papua. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and written reflections over eight weeks, and were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that students experience anxiety through nervousness, fear of negative evaluation, and low self-confidence, which often lead to silence, hesitation, and avoidance of speaking tasks. Anxiety was particularly triggered by public speaking, spontaneous questioning, and peer judgment. These conditions reduced students’ fluency and participation. However, students adopted coping strategies such as preparation, peer collaboration, and repeated practice to manage their anxiety. The study highlights the importance of supportive classroom climates and low-pressure communicative activities to foster students’ confidence and oral engagement in EFL learning.
