Abstract

The low speaking ability of students is characterized by limited vocabulary, low self-confidence, and a lack of opportunities to practice English communication in real-life situations. The Students as School Guide program is an experiential learning model that gives students the chance to act as school guides and use English in authentic communication contexts. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Students as School Guide program on students' English-speaking skills. This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-post-test design. The research subjects consisted of 11 eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah Mataram. The research instruments included a speaking test, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test. The study results showed that the average pretest score was 15.73, or 26.22% of the maximum score, while the average post-test score increased to 33.91, or 56.52%. The average increase was 18.18 points. The t-test results showed that the calculated t-value of 12.27 was greater than the t-table value of 2.228 at a significance level of 0.05, so the hypothesis was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the Students as School Guide program has been shown to have a significant effect on students' English speaking ability.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has profoundly influenced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, particularly in the development of writing skills. This study investigates students' perceptions of YouTube-based English songs as a structured instructional intervention to enhance eleventh-grade students’ descriptive writing performance. The study employed a quantitative survey design involving 11 participants. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 10 statements using a Likert scale. The results indicate that students show positive perceptions of vocabulary utilization, sentence construction, idea development, and overall writing proficiency compared to the control group. Furthermore, participants reported improved motivation and engagement when learning through English songs on YouTube. These findings suggest that integrating authentic musical content via digital platforms constitutes an effective pedagogical strategy for EFL writing instruction. Implications for teaching practice and curriculum design are discussed.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges students face in developing their English public speaking skills and identifies the factors that influence their performance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving third-semester students of the English Education Study Program. The data were analyzed using an inductive approach through Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal four major categories of challenges. Preparation-related difficulties emerged as students often lacked adequate rehearsal, resulting in disorganized delivery and low confidence. Linguistic barriers, including limited vocabulary, grammatical inaccuracy, pronunciation problems, and disrupted fluency, further affected their ability to express ideas clearly. Psychological factors such as anxiety, shyness, and fear of negative evaluation also played a crucial role in hindering performance. Additionally, environmental and social constraints, such as limited speaking opportunities and insufficient support from peers and lecturers, restricted students’ development of speaking competence. Overall, the study highlights that students’ public speaking challenges are multidimensional. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive instructional support that integrates preparation strategies, linguistic development, confidence-building techniques, and increased speaking practice.
