Abstract

Openness in public speaking has an important role in determining how well the message is conveyed and how deeply the audience engages. An effective opening not only makes a positive first impression but also builds credibility and creates an emotional connection with the listener. However, many previous studies have placed more emphasis on speaking ability in general without specifically analyzing how opening components such as attention-grabbing, relevance, credibility, and summary systematically affect audience engagement. Therefore, this study aims to conceptually examine the role of effective openings in increasing audience engagement through the Conceptual Literature Review (CLR) approach. This analysis integrates perspectives from communication studies, applied linguistics, and educational psychology to develop a comprehensive understanding of how openness affects the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of engagement. This review identified that a well-crafted introduction can grab the audience's attention, build empathy, and encourage responses throughout the presentation. These findings emphasize that an introduction is not just a structural element but a strategic tool that determines the success of communication. Furthermore, this study demonstrates pedagogical implications for public speaking teaching, suggesting that teachers guide students in designing openings that are cognitively and emotionally connected to their audiences. Overall, effective openings serve as a driving force that turns passive listeners into active participants, underscoring that engagement in communication begins from the moment the speaker begins speaking.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of visual documentation and reflection in English language learning materials.“Feelings”in elementary school students. The background of the study stems from the need for emotional vocabulary learning that not only supports language skills but also the development of children's emotional intelligence. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving one class of elementary school students through observation, visual documentation, and reflection notes. Data analysis was conducted using Thematic Analysis. The results showed that the use of visual media such as photos, videos, and vocabulary cards can improve students' understanding of emotional vocabulary and strengthen their engagement in learning activities. The percentage of student engagement reached 55.6 percent in the high category, and vocabulary mastery increased significantly from 30 percent to 82 percent after the activity. Students' emotional responses also developed, as seen from the increase in their ability to express emotions spontaneously from 22 percent to 74 percent. However, the study found several challenges such as the short learning duration, differences in ability between students, and technical difficulties during documentation. In conclusion, the integration of visual documentation and reflection is an effective approach to improving emotional vocabulary learning in elementary school students. This method is able to create contextual, multimodal learning and supports students' linguistic and emotional development. This research recommends the development of more varied visual media, longer learning durations, and the use of visual portfolios as part of learning evaluation.
