Abstract

Young learners acquire languages best through joyful, meaningful, and interactive experiences. Among various techniques in Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL), the use of songs has proven to be one of the most effective for enhancing pronunciation, rhythm, and vocabulary. This study investigates how songwriting projects can enhance English-speaking proficiency and pedagogical readiness among PIAUD students (pre-service early childhood teachers) at IAI Uluwiyah Mojokerto. Employing a mixed-method design, the study involved 30 participants divided into an experimental group (songwriting-based speaking activities) and a control group (traditional speaking practice). Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests analyzed using paired and independent-sample t-tests, while qualitative data from interviews, reflective journals, and observations were analyzed using thematic analysis. The quantitative findings revealed significant improvement in the experimental group’s speaking scores (t = 12.54, p < .01, d = 1.28), particularly in fluency and pronunciation, indicating the strong impact of musical rhythm on oral performance. In conclusion, integrating songwriting projects into speaking classes effectively strengthens both linguistic competence and pedagogical creativity

Abstract

This study describes the teaching strategies used by the English teacher and the students’ perception of English learning in the Tahfidz class at MIN 2 Mojokerto. The research used a qualitative descriptive method with one English teacher and 28 students as participants. Data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The results show that the teacher used group discussion, repetition, direct explanation, translation, and question–answer strategies. These methods were chosen to make learning easier for students whose main focus is Qur’an memorization. Students’ perception was both positive and negative. Most students liked interactive activities such as group work and learning new words, but some felt English was still difficult and sometimes hard to focus on. In conclusion, interactive and group-based strategies are effective for Tahfidz students, but more help is needed when lessons rely on direct explanation.

Abstract

Teaching English for students with special needs requires supportive and adaptive instructional strategies that consider learners’ emotional and cognitive conditions. In special education contexts, conventional teaching approaches often limit student engagement and learning comfort. This study aimed to explore the use of Quizizz as a supportive digital strategy in teaching English for students with special needs. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The study was conducted in a special school involving students with special needs and an English teacher. Data were collected through classroom observations, documentation, and teacher reflections during the implementation of Quizizz in English learning activities. The data were analyzed qualitatively to identify patterns related to student engagement, learning comfort, and instructional adaptation. The findings show that the use of Quizizz created a more supportive and engaging learning atmosphere. Students demonstrated higher participation and enthusiasm during English lessons, while the interactive features of Quizizz helped reduce learning anxiety. In addition, Quizizz allowed the teacher to adjust instructional strategies according to students’ abilities, supporting inclusive and student-centered learning. Therefore, Quizizz can be considered an effective supportive digital strategy in teaching English for students with special needs.

Abstract

This study explores how Indonesian adolescents use gamified environments such as Duolingo, Roblox, Minecraft, Memrise, and Kahoot to develop their English speaking skills. Employing a narrative inquiry method, it examines the learners’ experiences, focusing on how digital games contribute to motivation, confidence, and linguistic competence. Participants shared how platforms like Roblox and Minecraft facilitated real-time interaction in English, enhancing fluency and vocabulary. The findings highlight the educational potential of these tools in informal learning contexts and contribute to the broader conversation on digital innovation in language education. Future researchers are encouraged to adopt mixed-method or longitudinal designs to provide deeper insights into causal relationships and track language development over time in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The increasing role of English as a global lingua franca highlights the importance of speaking competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. However, many students still experience anxiety, low confidence, and limited opportunities to practice speaking. This study investigates the interpersonal communication strategies used by an English teacher to improve students’ speaking skills at MTs Unggulan Al-Kautsar. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings show that the teacher applied key interpersonal communication strategies, including teacher immediacy, supportive feedback, emotional encouragement, and open-ended questioning. These strategies created a supportive classroom atmosphere that reduced speaking anxiety and increased students’ confidence and participation. Questionnaire results indicated improvements in students’ willingness to communicate and engagement in speaking activities. The study confirms that interpersonal communication plays a crucial role in building a psychologically safe learning environment and enhancing speaking competence. This research contributes to instructional communication and EFL pedagogy by providing evidence from an Islamic junior high school context and suggests that integrating interpersonal communication strategies into speaking instruction can effectively improve students’ motivation, interaction, and communicative ability.
