Abstract

Although speaking is a crucial skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, many students have limited opportunities to practice it in classroom settings. This gap highlights the need for alternative learning tools, such as Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications. This study aims to explore students’ speaking practice through the use of the Beelinguapp application in an Islamic senior high school. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving eleventh-grade students and an English teacher. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that students practiced speaking by listening to audio stories, repeating sentences, and retelling them in their own words. The app’s audio and bilingual text features supported pronunciation and vocabulary development while increasing student engagement. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary and lack of exposure to English remained. Overall, MALL applications like Beelinguapp can support speaking practice in EFL classrooms.
