<![CDATA[The fundamental reason for this survey is to point out the challenges encountered by the teachers, students, schools, and parents in facing and handling the oral communication subject during the pandemic. Given that, most of the medium of instruction we are using now is distance learning, it poses issues and concerns on how our respondents dealt with the situation. A descriptive- survey research design was being utilized to document the behavior, demographics, and experiences of the respondents correlated to the questions provided. The questionnaire includes questions that seek to gather information on their basic profile, current experiences, and behavior towards the problem. Therefore, I have narrowed down the different problems encountered by the teachers, students, school, and parents based on the responses I have collected. Some respondents answered the same problem encountered that leads to the validity of the issue. Most of the teachers encountered the problem of the students with lack of motivation which is indeed a very complicated problem because it deals with emotional readiness and stability. The students’ side of encountering a problem is the difficulty in comprehending the topics of the module because lessons are not explained personally by the teachers.]]>

<![CDATA[In the new normal era, the learning system has changed from online learning to hybrid learning. This learning system is widely applied in many universities. Thus surfacing students and lecturers’ voices is of absolute importance in obtaining preferences for best practices in English language teaching. In the EFL context, speaking fluency is one of the elements of speaking that have many difficulties to be mastered by students. This study was conducted to derive suggestions and preferences for best practices in hybrid learning systems for English-speaking ability through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method. From the FGD, we draw transcripts, back-to-back translations, field notes and activity artefacts to demonstrate the process of the discussion. The information gathered was examined using thematic analysis and an interpretative description approach. The participants of this study were Non-English majors and English lecturers. The result revealed that college students faced speaking challenges during hybrid learning to hone their speaking fluency. Emerging themes were identified wherein in a hybrid learning system, the lecturer utilized multifaceted learning, digital resources and communication tools to improve students' speaking fluency. As for the implementation, technical support and mental readiness for hybrid learning are the reasons for the possibility of hybrid learning that affects students' speaking fluency.]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this meta-analysis is to analyse the effects of vocabulary mastery on English-speaking ability, which has been a extensively focused on English language teaching. A descriptive qualitative technique was utilized in this study. The data of this study consisted of 820 samples from 21 studies that focused on the correlation between students' sufficient academic vocabulary and English-speaking ability. The meta-analysis involves the studies conducted in Indonesia to draw deeper characteristics of the phenomena. The r and n were found in the data. n is the number of respondents, and r is the coefficient value. The researchers utilized five procedures to acquire the data: collecting studies or meta-analysis materials; calculating the effect size of each study; estimating the summary effect or mean effect size; analyzing the standard error; and evaluating publication bias. The data was analyzed with the help of JASP program. Because K = 21, 5K+10 Equals 115. The obtained fail-safe N value is 4727.000, with a significant target of 0.05 and p < 0.001. Because N > 5K+10 is a safe value, it is assumed that no publication bias exists in the Meta-Analysis study. In addition, the study's findings demonstrate that having an adequate academic vocabulary has a positive impact on English-speaking skills. ]]>

<![CDATA[This research aimed to determine whether the online film posters as a teaching medium significantly affected students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. This research was conducted using a quasi experimental research with pre-test and post-test design. The population was 60 students of the tenth grade senior high school of MAS Muhammadiyah 13 Sei Rampah, Medan. There were two parallel classes as the population, namely Class X IPA and X IPS. Each class consisted of 30 students. The sample in this research was taken using the cluster sampling technique to decide the experimental and control groups. X IPA was the experimental group and X IPS was the control group. The experimental group consisted of 30 students was taught using online film posters and the control group consisted of 30 students was taught without using any media. There were five meetings during the research. The first and the fifth meetings were administered as pre-test and post-test while the other three meetings were administered as the treatment sessions.The instrument used to collect the data was a writing test. The students of both groups were assigned to write a descriptive text to be administered as the research data. It was obtained that the mean score of experimental group in pre-test was 74.86 and 79.93 in post-test while the mean score of control group in pre-test was 73.66 and 69.9 in post-test respectively. These statistical data were then analyzed using t-test formula. The result of t-test calculation showed the value of t-observed was 3.20 and the value of t-table was 2.00 in level of significance of 0.05 and df=58. This meant that t-observed was higher than t-table (3.20 > 2.00). Based on the finding, then alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null alternative (Ho) was rejected. Thus, it was concluded that online film posters significantly affected students’ achievement in writing descriptive text.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explored the way in which Elementary School teachers used Indonesian folklore in their English classes to help students improve their analytical and critical reasoning skills. Visual culture theory was employed to examine data from interviews through the use of pictures. Moreover, Kress’ (1991) social-constructionist method was applied to investigate the additional realities of folktales as a cultural reality. A descriptive qualitative research method was implemented. The data used were the five English teachers’ teaching strategies. The study revealed that the teachers’ final goal was for students to understand the moral message in the folklore. The teachers were innovative in their teaching materials and approach in their EFL classes by integrating illustrations and other visual media related to folklore in language teaching. Visual media was believed to help language development and vice versa. The strategies included the use of videos with English subtitles, reading texts, questions and examples from real life. The teachers’ efforts were aimed at sharpening students’ analytical reasoning skills. Students needed to answer questions that strengthened their critical reasoning skills, identifying inequities and providing feasible solutions. Teachers, who had a crucial role in maximizing the advantage of using folklore, needed to tailor the story’s discussion to the students’ level of understanding. The outcome of the study inferred that the use of English translations of Indonesian folktales in the classroom potentially affected students’ English language development.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the impact of the implementation of appreciative listening using English songs on the development of students' knowledge of various expressions in English. In collecting data, 23 students from various majors and different universities were involved as participants. In this qualitative study, they were interviewed about their experiences in discovering the various uses of expressions in English songs and how their knowledge developed as they tried to explore the meaning of the expressions. They testified that through this learning method, their knowledge of the various units in the language increased and they even promoted this way of learning for other learners. The results showed that the concept of appreciative listening using songs helps learners increase their knowledge of English expressions. The involvement of songs in English courses was also proven to give a positive impact on the learning atmosphere and it also promotes autonomous learning. The results obtained from this study are in line with what researchers have found in the past; this method should be implemented in English learning for the wider community.]]>
