Abstract

In today’s digital era, social media platforms are increasingly leveraged as tools for English language learning. This study investigates the influence of Jane Elisabet’s educational videos on learners’ self-confidence in speaking English. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews with five English Education students who regularly engaged with Jane Elisabet’s video content. The findings indicate notable improvements in learners’ willingness to speak, pronunciation accuracy, and ability to construct basic sentences. Key contributing factors include the simplicity of the language, contextual relevance, and the presenter’s supportive and approachable delivery style. Grounded in Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, this study emphasizes that reducing anxiety and fostering emotional support can significantly enhance second language acquisition. The results suggest that short, authentic video content on digital platforms not only supports linguistic development but also strengthens learners’ psychological readiness to communicate in English. These findings highlight the potential of social media-based videos as practical supplementary tools in English language education, particularly in boosting learners’ speaking confidence.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of English songs as a teaching strategy to enhance students’ listening comprehension in EFL classrooms, with a particular focus on teachers’ perspectives. Addressing the limited research on how teachers perceive and implement songs within listening instruction, the study adopts a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six experienced EFL teachers from senior high schools in East Java, Indonesia, and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal that teachers view English songs as an effective tool for increasing student engagement, facilitating vocabulary development, and improving overall listening skills. Nonetheless, challenges were noted, including the complexity of language used in songs, cultural references unfamiliar to students, and the time required to prepare appropriate materials. The study concludes that, when integrated thoughtfully, English songs can serve as powerful tools for enhancing listening comprehension. The findings also underscore the significance of institutional support and targeted professional development in promoting the practical application of these tools in EFL teaching.
