Abstract

This article aims to explore conversation analysis and mediated discourse analysis as approaches to teach speaking skills. Nowadays, the conversation becomes a never-ending case to be studied. It becomes a primary interest for language researchers since the commonly daily conversation is always interesting to be analyzed. Conversation analysis and mediated discourse analysis are practical means of teaching speaking skills in the EFL classroom. This article tried to look at the theoretical basis for conversation and mediated discourse analysis and explores the possibility of applying these discourse approaches to teach speaking. Conversation analysis theory is explained in terms of adjacency pairs, turn-taking, repair, feedback, and opening and closing. In contrast, mediated discourse analysis theory is described in the term of social action. All the issues discussed above will provide teachers with explicit instruction on how to apply conversation analysis and mediated discourse analysis to teach speaking. The discussion will lead to the possibility of using these discourse perspectives to prepare for micro and macro speaking skills.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the pre-service English teacher's strategy for enhancing students' communication skills in the EFL classroom, the obstacles students encountered when the teacher implemented strategies for enhancing students' communication skills in the EFL classroom, and the implications for students when the teacher implemented strategies for enhancing students' communication skills in the EFL classroom. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with six students and two teachers serving as research participants. The data collection technique used in this study is interviewing. The findings from the three research questions indicate that pre-service English teachers use role playing, presentation, group work, and English debate to improve their communication skills. Students face difficulties when their teacher uses these strategies because they lack confidence when speaking, lack of vocabulary mastery, their environment is non-English speaking, and their learning style is non-English speaking. Students perceive the teacher as a facilitator who assists them in improving their communication skills in the EFL class, and thus the teacher's implication is positive in this case.
