Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the effect of tongue twisters can improve the pronunciation of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Lembo. A quasi-experimental design was employed with a sample of 64 students selected using random sampling techniques. Random sampling was chosen to reduce bias, produce a representative sample, facilitate statistical analysis, and allow for replicability of the research. Data were collected through writing tests administered twice as pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given to the experimental group before the treatment, while the post-test was administered afterward. The researcher collected and analyzed the data using the formula proposed by (Cohen et al., 2007) and SPSS 22. The results indicated a significant improvement in the pronunciation scores of the experimental group, with a pre-test average of 51.56 and a post-test average of 77.97. In contrast, the control group showed a smaller improvement. The Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), indicating that innovative teaching methods can enhance students' pronunciation skills. These findings suggest integrating interactive activities into English language teaching, and training for teachers is necessary to implement this method effectively. The study also opens up opportunities for further exploration of other variations of games in teaching pronunciation.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a common psychological barrier that affects students’ ability to communicate effectively in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, where many students experience nervousness, lack of confidence, and fear of making mistakes during speaking activities, which may influence their oral performance. This study aims to explore how speaking anxiety affects the oral performance of third-semester English Education students at Tadulako University. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving five participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflection sheets, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that speaking anxiety manifests in emotional responses such as nervousness and fear, as well as behavioral signs such as hesitation, avoidance, and limited participation, and it also affects students’ fluency, coherence, and clarity of expression. Despite achieving high academic scores, students still experienced anxiety, indicating that psychological factors are not always reflected in performance outcomes. This study concludes that speaking anxiety significantly influences students’ oral performance and highlights the importance of supportive classroom practices to reduce its impact.
