Abstract

English proficiency is a crucial skill in the era of globalization, yet high school students often face challenges in actively practicing the language. This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of the "One Day in English" program at SMAN 1 Sidrap. The program adopts an immersive learning approach where students are required to use English throughout the day in various interactive activities. These activities include group discussions, presentations, daily conversations, and games aimed at enhancing both oral and written communication skills.Using observational methods and pre-and post-program assessments, the study evaluates improvements in students' English language abilities. The findings reveal significant progress in speaking fluency, vocabulary comprehension, and overall confidence in using English. Moreover, the interactive nature of the program fostered active student participation and created a supportive learning environment.This research highlights the potential of immersive learning strategies in addressing barriers to effective English learning. It offers a practical framework for schools to adopt similar programs to enrich language learning experiences and build students’ confidence in real-world communication.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the factors influencing the speaking confidence of secondary school students at UPT SMA Negeri 1 Sidrap. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach focusing on students’ experiences and perceptions in the process of learning English. The participants of the study were eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and documentation to obtain comprehensive information regarding the factors affecting students’ speaking confidence. The findings reveal that students’ speaking confidence is influenced by two main categories of factors, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors include language proficiency, previous speaking experience, and psychological aspects such as self-confidence, anxiety, and personality. Meanwhile, external factors include the teacher’s role, teaching methods, learning materials and media, peer support, and classroom atmosphere. The analysis demonstrates that students' speaking confidence is fundamentally influenced by the interplay of internal and external dimensions. Internally, the primary obstacles originate from linguistic deficiencies (specifically in vocabulary and grammar) alongside psychological barriers such as shyness and apprehension. Conversely, externally, the teacher's pedagogical approach and instructional methods emerge as the most impactful drivers. The integration of creative media and a supportive classroom climate significantly mitigate the fear of social judgment, thereby lowering students' internal anxiety. In conclusion, while internal readiness poses a challenge, a safe and encouraging external environment serves as the vital catalyst for improving students' confidence in oral English communication.
