Abstract

This study investigated Grade VIII learners’ perceptions of using question games to improve speaking skills in an Indonesian EFL classroom. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research drew on classroom observations, four focus group discussions, reflective journal entries, and a students’ perception questionnaire (data collection conducted over four weeks) to capture both collective and individual experiences. Thematic analysis revealed consistently positive learner responses: students reported heightened enjoyment and motivation, increased confidence in speaking, greater incidental vocabulary acquisition, and a clear preference for small-group game formats that lowered affective barriers to participation. Quantitative summary data from the questionnaire corroborated these themes. Pedagogically, the findings indicate that question games can create low-pressure, interaction-rich opportunities that support fluency and willingness to communicate, provided they are complemented by teacher scaffolding and vocabulary reinforcement. Limitations include the single-class setting and short intervention period; future research should employ longitudinal designs, larger and more varied samples, and objective measures of speaking gains to triangulate perceptual evidence.
