This research aims to investigate the difficulties sixth-grade elementary school students face in improving speaking and the effectiveness of utilizing the Free4talk application in improving their speaking skills. Identified issues include lack of time for English practice, feelings of embarrassment lack of confidence in pronunciation, and limited vocabulary in English. This research used a pre-experimental method with a purposive sampling technique. The research was conducted on grade 6th students at SD Al Furqoon in the Academic Year of 2023/2024, with a total sample are 22 students. The research instruments to collect the data included a questionnaire, pre-test, post-test, and observation. Identified issues include lack of time for English practice, feelings of embarrassment lack of confidence in English pronunciation, and limited vocabulary in English. This is evident from the F value of 1.286 and sig=0.000, which means <0.05, this implies that there is an influence from the implementation of the Free4talk application on language speaking skills. For the second question, the researcher found the formula d(f) = n-2, resulting in a calculated d(f) value of 20 and the result of testing the variables of Free4talk application implementation (X) and improvement of speaking skills (Y) above supported by Cronbach’s Alpha values generated successively of 0.737 and 0.819. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ speaking skills after using the Free4talk application. Statistical analysis reveals a significant value indicating a meaningful impact of implementing the Free4talk application on students’ language-speaking skills. In conclusion, the utilization of the Free4talk application in enhancing the speaking skills of sixth-grade elementary school students is quite effective. This suggests that the application can be a beneficial tool in English language learning at the elementary level.

Abstract

This study explores the role and effectiveness of English in User Experience (UX) writing, particularly in the context of digital products aimed at international audiences. As global digital platforms increasingly adopt English to ensure accessibility and clarity, the integration of well-structured English UX writing has become essential in enhancing user interaction, engagement, and overall satisfaction. This study is based on the author’s internship experience at HiColleagues, an EdTech and IT service startup, where English was employed as the primary language for developing bilingual website content targeting B2B segmentation. Through qualitative analysis and practical implementation, the study investigates how English UX writing supports intuitive user navigation, improves comprehension, and contributes to the company's strategic goals such as increasing website traffic and attracting international leads. The study also outlines the stages involved in the UX writing process, including synergy meetings, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. The findings highlight that the use of clear, concise, and context-aware English in UX writing not only enhances usability but also strengthens brand credibility in global markets. This thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge in UX and content strategy, emphasizing the strategic importance of language in digital communication.
