Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of using podcasts as a tool to enhance English speaking skills among fourth-semester students at UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that students have generally positive perceptions of podcasts due to their accessibility, authenticity, and flexibility. Podcasts are perceived to contribute significantly to speaking development, particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary, intonation, and confidence. Many students find podcasts more engaging than traditional materials and appreciate the opportunity to listen to native speakers in natural contexts. However, the study also identifies challenges, including difficulties in understanding accents, lack of visuals, and limited access for some students. Although podcasts are not consistently integrated into formal instruction, students report that regular podcast usage improves their speaking fluency and reduces anxiety. The study concludes that podcasts are effective and enjoyable learning tools, but their implementation should be adapted to individual learning preferences and supported by other resources. The results suggest that podcasts hold great potential in technology-integrated language learning and should be more systematically utilized in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) on the development of critical thinking skills among eighth-grade students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes at SMPN 11 Bengkulu Tengah. Employing a quantitative research design, the study collected data from 21 students in class VIII A using a structured questionnaire consisting of 30 items on a four-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to examine students’ perceptions across five indicators: understanding of PjBL, project engagement, motivation, collaboration and communication, and critical thinking skills. The findings reveal that the majority of students responded positively to the implementation of PjBL, demonstrating notable improvement in critical thinking indicators such as identifying problems (90%), using evidence-based reasoning (90%), reflecting before answering (95%), evaluating work results (90%), and recognizing the importance of critical thinking (100%). In addition to cognitive gains, PjBL enhanced students’ collaboration, communication, and confidence, with 90% reporting active participation in discussions and increased motivation. These results suggest that PjBL fosters an interactive, contextual, and learner-centered environment that supports the development of 21st-century skills, particularly critical thinking. The study concludes that PjBL can be an effective instructional strategy for junior high school EFL contexts, although further research employing pre-/post-tests and qualitative methods is recommended to complement these findings.
