Abstract

The integration of social media platforms into educational practices has become increasingly prevalent, offering innovative ways to enhance language learning. This study explores the role of Instagram in enhancing students' English competence, focusing on its effectiveness in developing vocabulary and listening skills. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved ten senior high school students as participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews to gain in-depth insight into their experiences. Findings suggest that Instagram's multimodal features, including captions, videos, and interactive elements, create an engaging and accessible learning environment that encourages language acquisition. While receptive skills showed noticeable improvement, writing and speaking proficiency appeared to require more structured and intentional practice. The study highlights the importance of active engagement in digital learning spaces to maximize Instagram’s potential for holistic language development. This research is particularly useful in the fields of educational technology, language education, and digital pedagogy, offering practical implications for integrating social media platforms into formal language instruction to support comprehensive language skill development. Future research could further explore strategies to maximize Instagram's potential in these areas.

Abstract

This research explores the challenges and strategies associated with teaching English speaking skills to young learners in Indonesia, focusing on students learning English as a second or foreign language. The study aims to understand the specific obstacles faced by teachers in this context and to identify effective methods for overcoming these challenges. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved five elementary English teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through interviews and observations, followed by thematic analysis to interpret the findings. The study also emphasized ensuring data quality through the establishment of trustworthiness. The findings revealed five key issues impacting the teaching of English-speaking skills to young learners in Indonesia. Challenges stemming from the students included inhibition, negative attitudes towards learning English, and low participation rates. From the teachers' perspective, difficulties in classroom management and the lack of a supportive English learning environment were identified as significant obstacles. To address these challenges, the teachers employed various strategies, including individualized instruction, use of translation, repetition techniques, and integrating games into the learning process. These approaches aimed to enhance student engagement and facilitate a more effective learning environment for developing English speaking abilities in young learners. The study's insights contribute to a better understanding of the complexities involved in teaching English as a second language in the Indonesian educational setting and offer practical solutions for educators facing similar challenges.
