Abstract

In Indonesian secondary schools, low student participation and limited classroom interaction remain persistent issues affecting English learning outcomes. This study examined the association between student voice and English achievement among ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Tanjungsari, South Lampung, Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational design, student voice was measured through a validated Likert-type questionnaire, and English achievement was taken from school-recorded final scores. Assumptions for Pearson’s correlation were satisfied for the N = 20 analyzable cases. The analysis indicated a small, non-significant association between student voice and English achievement, r(18) = .169, p = .476. Although the correlation was not statistically significant, the findings suggest that student voice may indirectly influence English achievement through motivational and affective pathways, such as self-efficacy, confidence, and engagement. The study contributes empirical evidence from the Indonesian context, emphasizing the need to combine student-voice practices with supportive teaching strategies to enhance English learning achievement.
