Abstract

Speaking is an important skill needed in communication and requires good training as well as professional and experienced English tutors. The speaking tutors will encounter various difficulties and need to employ effective teaching strategies to overcome them. This study aimed to find out the types of challenges faced by the English tutors in the Madani Super Camp (MSC) Course Narmada in teaching speaking and the types of learning strategies applied by the tutors to overcome the challenges in teaching speaking. This qualitative descriptive research involved eight English teachers in the MSC Course Narmada as respondents. The data were obtained by using closed-ended questions and semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed descriptively. In addition, the data analysis used is data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the research showed that the tutors faced five challenges in teaching English, including a lack of student discipline, additional work, a lack of self-confidence, a lack of technical teaching, and controlling the classroom and class management. The researcher reveals the research findings related to the learning strategies applied by the tutors to overcome the challenges in teaching speaking ability, including discussion and classroom interaction, storytelling, classroom practice, games, and picture descriptions. Keywords: Tutors’ Challenges; Tutors’ Strategies; Teaching Speaking.

Two main questions addressing on (1) how speech acts availability in text-book used by EFL learners, (2) the frequency of speech acts occurring in the EFL classroom context. By reviewing 20 journals from various reliable sources thematically, it is found that speech act availability in the textbooks exists with an unbalanced proportion of speech act types. In addition, the books provide fewer various strategies of speech acts. Concerning the frequency of speech acts in the EFL classroom, directives are mostly used by the teacher while students tend to use various kinds of speech acts. Further study suggested digging into more contextual settings. Keywords: Speech Acts, EFL, Text-Books

Abstract

In L2 speaking learning contexts, highly self-efficacious EFL learners are characterised as speakers capable of sharing their ideas confidently with other interlocutors as they have put a higher degree of belief towards their current speaking competencies. In support of self-efficacy, EFL learners are strongly willing to proceed with the complex speaking learning processes as they are prompted to foster their L2 communicative competencies to the utmost level. This small-scale library study was initiated to reveal the potential impacts of self-efficacy on EFL learners’ speaking skills. To achieve the primary study objective, 30 previous self-efficacy studies were profoundly reviewed with a thematic analysis to yield more understandable and trustworthy research results. Based on the obtained research results, it is strongly suggested that second language-speaking learning instructors infuse the robust construction of self-efficacy within EFL learners since they can progressively transform into more successful and confident L2 speakers. In conclusion, a higher degree of self-efficacy growth allows EFL learners to persistently confront various speaking learning impediments due to the successful employment of their speaking learning strategies mutually interlinked with the current speaking learning situations.   Keywords: Self-efficacy; Speaking skills; EFL learners.

Abstract

In EFL writing classrooms, students learning L2 need correction or feedback for their writing. However, the teachers' limitation in time management becomes one of the reasons students can not gain detailed feedback. In line with that, the growth of the digital platform in the 21st-century learning era brings a thought that corrective feedback for L2 writing can be accessed and gained through automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) to ease students' learning and improve their writing ability. This quantitative study aimed at revealing students' need for automated written corrective feedback. The participants of this study were 532 students from the Philippines and Indonesia. The questionnaire was used to collect data and analyzed using the SPSS version 25 to know the percentage and descriptive statistics. The study's findings revealed that students from two states need technology tools to provide written corrective feedback to improve their writing proficiency in the L2 context while solving their problems of vocabulary and grammar limitations. Furthermore, the feedback can grow their confidence to provide L2 writing. The findings of the student's needs can be used as the basis for creating ideal writing scenarios.

Abstract

One of the difficulties faced by English teachers is how to make English acceptable, understood, and well-controlled by their students. One of the strategies to use is bilingualism or using both students’ first and target languages in the classroom. This research aims to investigate the types of bilingualism in the vocabulary mix used in Indonesian English classes and explore the functions of bilingualism in the English learning process. This research was conducted by a descriptive qualitative. To collect the data, this research employed content analysis. Meanwhile, to analyse the data this study employed the theory of Lasswell’s idea: quantification of the word domain (types of bilingualism in vocabulary mix). Based on this research, it has been found that there are three types of bilingualism in the English learning process in Indonesia with a vocabulary mix of Indonesian vocabulary and English vocabulary, they are compound bilingualism, coordinate bilingualism and subordinate bilingualism. Its functions in the English learning process are to provide opportunities for students to speak English with each other, the learning process feels fun, and students are easier to understand the material. In addition, another phenomenon was found, namely the most used type of bilingualism is coordinate bilingualism. The benefits of the result are information as well as references to support teaching and learning activities using bilingualism in English class learning. Keywords: Bilingualism; communication tools; English learning.

Abstract

Amidst the rapidly evolving global landscape, proficiency in English language skills has become indispensable for accessing information, facilitating effective communication, and engaging in global interactions. This necessity is particularly pronounced for students in Lombok who actively participate in diverse sectors such as agriculture, academia, and trade. Understanding the importance of English proficiency in these contexts, this study explores the communication barriers experienced by students during their learning process. It investigates the underlying factors that impede the development of their speaking skills. The qualitative study involved eighteen participants enrolled in the English Quarantine Al Badriyah (EQAB) Program, with eight selected as primary informants for detailed interviews. Data collection methods included closed-ended questions and semi-structured interviews, which were meticulously transcribed and analysed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The research revealed several significant barriers hindering students’ English-speaking skills, including nervousness, lack of vocabulary, and shyness. Conversely, the study identified motivation factors, positive feedback and agreeable activities as pivotal elements that could effectively enhance students’ speaking proficiency. This study underscores the critical role of English language proficiency in empowering students to overcome barriers and actively participate in global discourse. By addressing these challenges and leveraging supportive factors, educators and stakeholders can better facilitate the development of robust English communication skills among students in diverse educational and professional settings.Keywords: Communication Barriers; Enhancing English; Speaking Skills.
