Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on enhancing senior high school students’ reading aloud and narrative writing skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Conducted through Classroom Action Research (CAR) over two cycles with 50 students in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, the research applied a randomized class sampling technique. Data were collected using reading aloud assessments, narrative text rubrics, observations, and documentation. Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in students’ reading performance across categories including pronunciation, fluidity, volume, and intonation, with the proportion of students rated Excellent increasing notably from Cycle I to Cycle II (e.g., pronunciation from 14% to 34%). Narrative writing scores also rose substantially, with most students achieving mastery-level performance in the second cycle. Qualitative findings indicated heightened student engagement, motivation, and collaboration as a result of the PBL implementation. Challenges remained for a small subset of students with persistent low performance, potentially influenced by individual motivation and linguistic background. The study confirms that PBL effectively promotes active learning and measurable gains in English reading skills, supporting the integration of project-centered activities in EFL classrooms. Pedagogical implications include the need for teachers to design project tasks that foster student autonomy and provide opportunities for meaningful language practice. Future research should explore digital PBL platforms and broader, cross-institutional studies to validate and extend these findings. This research contributes original evidence of PBL’s value in developing both oral and written reading proficiency, offering practical insights for Indonesian EFL education.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges and strategies involved in facilitating virtual exchange programs for primary school students, a group often overlooked due to their beginner-level English proficiency. The shortage of English teachers in Indonesian primary schools further complicates participation in international collaborations. This research investigates how educators navigate these challenges, focusing on their pedagogical strategies, obstacles, and adaptations in virtual exchanges. Using a qualitative approach, the study gathers insights from an elementary school teacher in Indonesia responsible for international programs. Thematic analysis identifies three key strategies: L1 translation, authentic material integration, and structured preparation to enhance student engagement and comprehension. Despite these efforts, teachers face time constraints and difficulties in understanding discussion topics. Findings suggest that while L1 translation supports comprehension, excessive reliance may hinder English acquisition. The study emphasizes the need to balance linguistic and intercultural competencies through immersive, interactive learning. It advocates for inclusive educational practices that promote cross-cultural awareness and language development among young learners. Future research should explore diverse educational settings and scalable models for integrating virtual exchanges into primary English language teaching.

Abstract

In digital era, English language instruction in university, particularly for Communication Studies students, demands innovative pedagogical strategies that go beyond promoting fluency to also foster critical thinking and media literacy. This study explores the implementation of video reaction-based tasks as a digital learning approach to enhance speaking fluency and critical thinking among second-semester Communication Studies students in the English for Communication course at a university in Banten Province, Indonesia. Drawing on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Multimodal Learning Theory, and Self-Determination Theory, the method utilizes students’ familiarity with digital media to create authentic, engaging, and reflective speaking opportunities. Using a mixed-method sequential explanatory design, this study collected quantitative data through pre- and post-tests, and qualitative insights from student interviews, classroom observations, and perception surveys. The results showed a statistically significant increase in speaking fluency (mean gain = 12.8, p < 0.05) and critical thinking (mean gain = 14.2, p < 0.05), especially in organizing arguments, using logical reasoning, and articulating personal opinions. Qualitative findings echoed this improvement, revealing enhanced student confidence, motivation, and cognitive engagement with video-based content. Although students faced some technical and emotional challenges, such as editing difficulties and anxiety speaking on camera, they valued the opportunity to plan, reflect, and express ideas in English through multimodal formats. With sufficient scaffolding, technical support, and peer feedback, video reaction tasks present a promising strategy for developing 21st-century skills, including media literacy, critical analysis, and interpersonal communication. This study offers both theoretical and practical insights into digital pedagogy for Communication students.
