Abstract

This conceptual framework delves into the pivotal role of project-based learning integrated with information and communication technology in improving speaking and nurturing the 4Cs skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication in the English learning process. The paper highlights the significance of speaking skills in English proficiency and the challenges students encounter in developing communication and collaborative skills. It explores the potential of project-based learning with ICT to enhance students' speaking abilities and 4Cs skills. This study integrates various theories by conducting a thorough literature review on project-based learning, ICT, speaking, and the 4Cs skills. Utilizing reputable databases, the review encompasses electronic publications from 2016 to global studies conducted up to 2023. The limitations arise from database constraints and the omission of specific disciplines and focus in EFL classrooms. The conceptual framework addresses issues of motivation, fear, time constraints, and collaboration, resulting in an enriched learning environment where students not only improve their speaking skills but also develop essential 4C skills required for success in a rapidly changing global landscape. This study presents a conceptual framework that provides a comprehensive solution to the identified problems in improving students' speaking and 4C skills. The findings suggest that PjBL and ICT integration can be an effective learning model for developing speaking performance and the 4Cs skills, offering students opportunities to collaborate, communicate, and think critically and creatively.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing English teachers’ preferences for textbooks provided by private-sector publishers, with a focus on teachers in SMP 09 Tegal, Indonesia. The importance of textbooks in the teaching-learning process is crucial, as well as selecting appropriate textbook used in the classroom. Despite the availability of textbooks from both government and private-sector publishers, there is limited research on teachers’ preferences in this context. This qualitative study employs a phenomenological approach that involves in-depth interviews and observations of English teachers and students at SMP N 09 Tegal. Participants included three experienced English teachers and one chairman of the MGMP Bahasa Inggris (English Teacher Forum), as well as three students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected and analyzed thematically to uncover the underlying factors influencing textbook selection, teachers’ perception towards the use of private-sector publisher’s textbook, and challenges in the use of textbook by private-sector publisher’s textbook. The findings reveal that content quality and variety, including the incorporation of practice questions and visual media, are significant factor in teachers’ textbook preferences. Teachers also value textbooks’ usability, practicality, readability, and the availability of supplementary materials. Despite generally positive perceptions of textbook by private-sector publisher, several challenges have been identified., such as language and content complexity, lack of local context, and infrastructure limitations. Student related challenges include diverse characteristics and varying levels of English proficiency that needs adaptable teaching strategies from teachers. Therefore, this study suggests that government through Ministry of Education, Culture, and Research can make textbook that better suits the needs of students and teachers in the classroom in order to benefit Indonesian education in general. Keywords: challenges, English teachers, private-sector publishers, teachers’ perceptions, teachers’ preference.

A quasi experimental design was employed with two classes of the seventh graders at SMP Negeri 2 Purwokerto selected with cluster random sampling as sampling method. The students were divided into two groups namely the experimental group and the control group. The data were obtained through speaking test, observation and interview. The speaking assessment was covering pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The computation results showed that Virtual Ice-Breaker strategy was effective in improving the students’ speaking skill where the experimental group got the best score (80.14) than the control group (73.13). Furthermore, in determining the final result, the Independent Sample T-Test was calculated.
