Abstract

One of the receptive skills is listening, which involves understanding the speaker's uttered words. The frequency with which learners practice hearing English language expressions has an impact on their listening abilities. One benefit is the abundance of resources available for use in teaching listening, such as easily accessible podcasts and YouTube videos. But teaching strategies and tactics are just as vital as the media, which is one of the key elements for listening skills. It is well recognized that S1 Language Education students’ listening skills still require development. The researcher administered listening practice which is called shadowing technique in which the students have to practice listening from the podcast, Youtube video and conversations. Then, they are assigned to repeat after the speakers’ utterance. The researchers conducted a pre-test of listening abilities before the listening class in order to conduct a pre-survey, but the outcomes were still far from the perfections. Their listening’s’ skill need to be improved. It is believed that by employing the Shadowing Technique, students' proficiency will grow. Thus, the goal of this study is to know the students’ perceptions on the use of shadowing technique in listening class of English Education students of FKIP University of Lampung. The research uses quantitative method with questionnaire as the instrument of the study. The sample of this study is S1 students of the English Education Study Program, FKIP University of Lampung, consisting of 27 of 2th semester students who take pre-intermediate listening course. The shadowing technique using YouTube videos and podcasts is expected to improve students' listening skills. The results have produced some interesting finding.

Abstract

Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) remains a significant barrier to effective language learning, often manifesting as fear, self-doubt, and avoidance of communication. While many studies have explored the causes and effects of FLA, few have investigated its potential solutions, particularly through the lens of social interaction. This study explores how language learners perceive the role of social interaction in reducing anxiety, and what forms of interaction are considered most supportive. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven Indonesian learners aged 19–21 who had experienced FLA. Thematic analysis revealed three major findings: (1) learners overwhelmingly preferred paired practice over group activities due to reduced pressure and more personalized feedback; (2) interaction with lecturers often heightened anxiety because of hierarchical power dynamics and fear of evaluation; and (3) some learners never experienced moments of growing confidence, indicating fixed mindsets and a lack of positive reinforcement. The study highlights the importance of emotionally safe learning environments, anxiety-sensitive feedback, and structured peer interaction. These findings suggest that rethinking classroom dynamics—particularly by incorporating dyadic tasks and reducing evaluative stressors—may better support learners in managing FLA.

The students were known to experience some difficulties, especially in organizing their ideas systematically regarding the topic to be written and some make mistakes in writing vocabulary according to the pretest results. While the posttest results showed an increase in students’ writing which becomes more organized. From the statistical analysis, the mean score of the students increased by 7.00 after the flowchart media was implemented. The t-value obtained was 8.885 with a degree of freedom (df) of 35, therefore the t-table obtained was 2.030. The level of significance showed a value of 0.000 or less than the probability of 0.05 and indicates a significant increase in the students’ writing skills. In other words, the use of flowchart media significantly helped to improve the students’ writing skills.

Abstract

Limited speaking practice has been identified as a primary factor contributing to low confidence among vocational high school students, and this leads to the low confidence in speaking. This research aims to explore and analyze the improvement in students' speaking skills after the implementation of the Three-Steps Interview technique based on gamification in English language learning. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach to experimental design. The subjects consisted of 35 tenth-grade students at SMK Budi Karya Natar, who participated in five meetings, each lasting 80 minutes. The data were collected from speaking tests based on Mahpul (2014) speaking rubric in terms of pronunciation, fluency, linguistic features and extra linguistic features. The data were analyzed by using the t-test for the speaking tests. After the treatment, the results from the data analysis showed that mean score rose from 25.06 to 31.76 (p < .001). Therefore, it can be concluded that the gamified Three-Steps Interview technique effectively improves vocational high school students’ speaking skills, particularly in fluency and confidence, although it was not optimal in addressing fossilized pronunciation errors.
