Abstract

This study explores the role of student assistants in enhancing interactive English learning at MA Bahrul Ulum, an Islamic senior high school operating within a pesantren-based educational system. Positioned as part of a collaborative teaching strategy, student assistants serve not only as academic support but also as facilitators who promote learner engagement through a variety of interactive approaches. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with English teachers and teaching assistants, as well as student reflections. The findings indicate that student assistants contribute meaningfully to building a more dynamic and student-centered classroom. They incorporate strategies such as language games, group discussions, role-plays, and the use of digital tools to make lessons more engaging. These methods were found to lower students’ anxiety when speaking English and increase overall classroom participation. Despite challenges such as limited experience and time management difficulties, assistants were able to bridge the gap between formal instruction and informal, communicative language practice. Their presence also made learning more relatable, especially through peer-to-peer interaction. Furthermore, their efforts aligned with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum, which encourages contextualized, independent, and meaningful learning. In the pesantren setting, student assistants successfully integrated Islamic values into language activities, making English instruction more culturally relevant. The study concludes that, with proper training and structured implementation, student assistantship programs have the potential to significantly improve English language education in Islamic-based schools by enhancing motivation, fostering communication, and creating supportive learning environments.

Abstract

Speaking is an important ability in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education because it allows students to communicate in real-world circumstances. However, many classrooms continue to emphasize grammatical knowledge above communicative practice. This circumstance causes a disconnect between communicative language education concepts and classroom execution. Previous research has demonstrated that role-playing can help students enhance their speaking skills, confidence, and drive. Nonetheless, there has been little research on how role-playing is administered and what types of role-play activities are employed in classroom practice. The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of speaking activities using the role-play technique, as well as to identify the various types of role-play activities employed in a junior high school EFL course. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Data were gathered using classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The participants included fourteen junior high school students and one English teacher in an English course at SMP Darul Fawaid Ilmiyah. The data were examined with an interactive qualitative analysis model. The data indicate that role-play activities are carried out in stages, including explanation, modelling, pair discussion, performance, and feedback. Different activities, such as daily discussion and situational talks, promote meaningful contact. The study reveals that role-playing is an excellent way to improve expressive speaking practice in EFL classrooms.
