Abstract

This study investigates the effect of speech disfluency on English speaking performance among third-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Nias. Grounded in psycholinguistic perspectives, speech disfluency is viewed as a natural outcome of cognitive processing during speech production, particularly in a second language context. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed, involving ten students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through audio-recorded English self-introduction tasks and transcribed for analysis. The analysis focused on identifying and quantifying common disfluency features, including fillers, repetitions, and pauses. The findings reveal that speech disfluency frequently occurs in students’ spoken English and is closely associated with difficulties in speech planning and lexical retrieval. Rather than indicating communicative failure, these disfluencies reflect ongoing language development among EFL learners. The study highlights the importance of considering speech disfluency as an informative aspect of speaking performance evaluation in higher education EFL contexts.

Abstract

Speaking skill is a crucial component of English language learning; however, many EFL students experience anxiety, low confidence, and limited opportunities to practice oral communication. This study aims to develop gamification strategies to boost English speaking skills among third-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Nias. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were ten students selected from one class with a total population of thirty-eight students. Data were collected through speaking tests, observation checklists, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings indicate that the developed gamification strategies increased students’ motivation, participation, confidence, and speaking fluency. These results suggest that gamification, when systematically designed, can serve as an effective instructional strategy for improving English speaking skills in higher education EFL contexts.
