Abstract

Presenting concepts to elementary school pupils is crucial. It is to improve their capacity to exchange ideas with one another. Fifteen elementary school pupils in a public school encountered difficulties in accomplishing this objective. They voluntarily enrolled in a treatment class to deal with these shortcomings. The teacher began by teaching basic bilingual grammar using the book's supplied vocabulary. After finishing the lesson, the instructor invited the class to complete comic strip activities. They completed the assignments in small groups. They used speaking practice and peer teaching based on the discussed content to make the activity meaningful. To get the teacher's opinion, the pupils then displayed their text and audio creations on the screen. A qualitative analysis of the information acquired throughout the teaching and learning process was then conducted. It has been determined that comic strip techniques and communicative grammar aid in the improvement of primary pupils' speaking abilities. Teachers can use it to teach related subjects, which is beneficial. Additionally, it prompts other researchers to conduct more in-depth observations on similar topics.

Abstract

This literature review explores traditional and innovative English teaching activities that enhance students’ engagement and speaking skills. Thirty peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025 were analyzed thematically and chronologically. Traditional approaches such as role-playing, storytelling, language clubs, and group discussions, together with innovative practices like vlog creation, gamified learning, mobile-assisted learning, and TikTok-based tasks, have been found effective in improving fluency, confidence, and motivation. Both teachers and students expressed positive attitudes toward these activities. However, long-term implementation across diverse contexts remains underexplored. This review highlights the importance of blended pedagogical approaches and calls for future research into sustainable engagement-based English instruction.

Abstract

This paper reviews various studies on students' fear of using the English language, commonly known as language anxiety. Many students, especially non-native speakers, experience anxiety when speaking English due to fear of making mistakes, being judged, or lacking confidence. This review analyzed 21 articles published between 2011 and 2024 that investigate students' anxiety in language learning and its effects, organized thematically and in chronological order. All the key influences such as psychological factors, emotional responses, environmental influences, and the cultural factors that affect students’ fear of using the English language will be examined on how they are interconnected with each other. The findings show that language anxiety can seriously harm a student’s academic performance and self-confidence. The review suggests that supportive, friendly, and less judgmental learning environments can help students become more comfortable and confident in using English. It is recommended that further research is needed to develop tailored interventions and include diverse learner populations and every factor that could potentially contribute to the student’s English language anxiety, not only focusing on one factor.

Abstract

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that prioritizes meaningful interaction and student engagement to enhance language proficiency particularly in speaking. In today’s globalized world, where communication is key, CLT proves valuable for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners who often struggle with limited vocabulary, low confidence, and insufficient speaking practice. This literature review, analyzing 30 studies from 2017 to 2025, affirms CLT’s effectiveness in boosting fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, and confidence through interactive activities such as role-plays and discussions. It also fosters creativity, autonomy, and enjoyment in learning. Despite these benefits, challenges like overcrowded classrooms, limited resources, insufficient teacher training, and student anxiety can hinder CLT’s success. To address these, the study recommends enhanced teacher training, resource-rich and supportive environments, confidence-building activities, and integrating CLT into broader educational policies, including MTB-MLE in the Philippines. In conclusion, CLT is not just a technique, it’s a transformative approach that empowers learners to use language with confidence and real-world purpose.

Abstract

This systematic review explores the role of classroom interaction in enhancing second language (L2) speaking fluency. Twenty-one peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025 were analyzed thematically and chronologically from ERIC, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Findings indicate that teacher-student and peer-to-peer interactions significantly improve learners’ confidence, engagement, and oral fluency. Structured classroom dialogue and feedback foster natural speech development, while collaborative tasks such as group discussions and role-plays encourage communicative competence. However, anxiety, fear of criticism, and large class sizes remain barriers to participation. The review suggests adopting balanced interactive strategies, low-stakes speaking tasks, and supportive classroom environments enhanced by digital tools to optimize fluency outcomes. Future studies should explore long-term impacts and the integration of emerging technologies in L2 pedagogy.
