Abstract

Speaking is a critical language skill in EFL learning, yet it remains one of the most challenging to assess effectively. This study investigates the integration of language assessment with speaking skills at SMAN 2 Unggulan Talang Ubi. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, the study explores how teachers implement speaking assessments, how these assessments align with instructional objectives, and their perceived impact on students’ speaking performance. Data were collected via classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student focus group discussions. The findings indicate that performance-based assessments, particularly role plays and oral presentations, enhance students’ speaking proficiency, motivation, and confidence. The study concludes with pedagogical implications for aligning assessment with communicative teaching goals and recommends more structured feedback mechanisms to support learners’ oral language development.

Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into English Language Teaching (ELT) has transformed education into a more flexible and engaging learning environment. ICT enables both teachers and students to access information, interact, and collaborate more effectively. This study explores the ways ICT is applied in English classrooms, its impact on students’ engagement and learning outcomes, and the challenges teachers face in implementing ICT-based instruction. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research involved two English teachers and thirty vocational students from SMK YPIP Talang Ubi. Data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires. The findings show that ICT helps increase students’ motivation, participation, and comprehension, especially through tools such as Google Classroom, YouTube, Quizizz, and Padlet. However, teachers still struggle with limited infrastructure, low digital literacy, and unstable internet access. The study concludes that ICT integration is essential in modern ELT but requires adequate training, institutional support, and technological readiness to be effective.
