Abstract

The researcher intended to use the Role-play approach due to the low English speaking ability of class IX students at SMP Plus Al-Ishlah. The purpose of this study is to collect empirical data on the usefulness of the role-playing approach in training their speaking abilities. This research used a quantitative method and was conducted in two different class groups, namely the experimental and control classes with a quasi-experimental design. The researcher conducted the study during four meetings the first for the pre-test, the second and third for the treatment using Role Play technique, and the fourth for the post-test. The theory from Role Play according to (Shabani, 2010) is Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is a concept from the work refers to the range of tasks that a learner can perform with the help of a more knowledgeable individual. The t-test results show a T count value of (6.48) with a T table of (2.021) with a df of 45 students and a significance level of 0.05 or 90%. It indicates Ha is approved because "role playing has a significant effect on the speaking ability of experimental class students”. Furthermore, the additional data result from the observational data is the experimental class that was taught through role play performed a little better than the control class that was taught without role play. And then from interviews obtained data shows positive responses from several students who were interviewed regarding the role play technique. So, the role play approach has significant effects in training students' speaking abilities.

Abstract

This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study investigates university EFL learners' experiences with podcast-based learning for listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. The research addresses three key questions: (1) how learners utilize podcasts, (2) challenges encountered, and (3) effective learning strategies. Quantitative data collected from 20 participants revealed YouTube as the dominant platform (95%), with speech speed (65%) and accents (35%) as primary barriers. Qualitative interviews with 8 selected participants uncovered three adaptive strategies: segment repetition (55%), transcript utilization (50%), and vocabulary journaling. Analysis demonstrated significant improvements in listening proficiency (80% of users) and vocabulary retention (95%), particularly when podcasts incorporated scaffolding features. The study highlights the pedagogical value of podcasts as authentic input sources while emphasizing the need for speed-adjustable content, culturally familiar topics (preferred by 60%), and integrated learning supports. These findings contribute to understanding autonomous language learning in digital environments, suggesting that podcast effectiveness depends on strategic use rather than mere exposure. Practical implications include recommendations for educators to incorporate structured podcast activities and for developers to create leveled content with multimodal supports. The research bridges theoretical frameworks of comprehensible input with contemporary digital learning practices in EFL contexts
