Abstract

Understanding the reasons behind Speech Difficulties and Language Interference is a very urgent matter to address amidst the ease of access to learning English. This study investigates the challenges faced by Indonesian university students majoring in English Education in speaking English fluently. Despite having completed more than six semesters, many still mix Indonesian and English during conversations and show reluctance to use English with peers. Through semi-structured interviews with ten students preparing for teaching internships, this research explores motivational, linguistic, and sociocultural factors contributing to their speaking difficulties. The findings reveal a lack of speaking confidence, limited exposure to English input, and negative perceptions about accent and dialect as primary obstacles. Moreover, external factors such as minimal digital access in rural areas and parental pressure to enrol in the English program significantly reduce students' motivation. This study calls for a re-evaluation of English language pedagogy in teacher training programs by integrating motivational and sociolinguistic awareness.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative approach with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of challenges and solutions in the implementation of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in Elementary education in depth through the perspective of participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation involving CLIL classes At Suantou Elementary School, Chiayi County, Taiwan. Data analysis was conducted thematically with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers face obstacles in the aspect of linguistic competence, while from a pedagogical perspective they are able to present innovative strategies such as code-switching, the use of digital media, project-based learning, and collaboration between teachers. Student responses showed high motivation when contextual, interactive, and bilingual learning, although there were still obstacles when English was fully used. This study contributes to theoretical, practical, and policy implications, particularly regarding improving CLIL teacher competence, supporting student motivation, and innovation in learning strategies. In addition, this study provides new insights into CLIL implementation in Elementary schools that are relevant in the context of Challenges and Solutions in CLIL Implementation: Teachers' Perspectives from Elementary Education.
