Abstract

In this region, English is mostly learned as the main subject. It starts from elementary school to university level, but most high school graduates cannot speak English even though they have been studying it for three years or more. This stimulated the researcher to create a breakthrough that would make it easier for students to practice their speaking skills as much as possible. The programs consisted of three activities: discussion (hot issues talk), debate forum, and speech presentation. Participants in this study were 50 second-year high school students in Indonesia. They were divided into two groups: experimental and control classes. The experimental class consisted of 25 students who engaged in public speaking activities, while the control class consisted of 25 students who did not participate. The findings of this quantitative analysis showed that members of the experimental class who engaged in public speaking exercises experienced an increase in their English-speaking skills. It can be discovered that public speaking activities can be used as an approach to enhancing the ability of high school students to speak.

Abstract

Students are currently on the verge of a technological revolution known as Industry 4.0. As a result, it is critical for today's educators to be able to integrate a teaching-learning method with educational technology as appropriate media in order to achieve the goal of effectively teaching and learning EFL speaking. Smartphones or mobile devices can be loaded with a variety of language-learning apps. One of them is the Cake application, which will serve as the focal point of this current study to supplement previous relevant research. Using a case study research design, 25 third-semester English education program students as the research participants were asked to explore Cake at home for a week while recording all of their activities and discoveries. They were then given open-ended questionnaires to express their perceptions with the app. The results demonstrated that the Cake supported students' self-directed learning in EFL speaking classroom since it was easy, simple, interesting to use, and contained a lot of features for English learning independently, so they could manage themselves to decide the learning goals of using the app and control the learning process. The app could also be used to help them improve some components of speaking skills (pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar) which are the most common issues they face when speaking English. As a result, this app could be a good way for EFL students to improve their speaking skills and support their self-directed learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to find information about students’ internal problems in the academic speaking subject as well as students’ efforts to overcome the problems. The participants in this study were students who had passed the subject in the 2018 academic year in a private university in Bogor. This study was a qualitative research by using questionnaires and interviews as research instruments to explore information related to the two research questions: 1) what are the students’ internal problems in the academic speaking subject? and 2) what are the students' efforts to overcome the problems? This study discovered four kinds of internal problems, namely: the problems in expressing ideas, applying correct grammar patterns, speaking anxiety, and low motivation. This study also discovered students’ efforts to overcome the problems, including preparing the material to be discussed, practicing speaking up with friends, practicing pronouncing English words correctly, learning grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation from grammar books, dictionary, and English learning applications. The findings of this study are expected to be useful, not only for students to keep doing the efforts in improving their speaking skills, but also for teachers to support students’ efforts to overcome the internal problems in the academic speaking subject
