Abstract

The existence of English major in Southwest Papua is still become a big project for universities in improving the number of students to choose English major. Year by year, the new students who take this major is decreased. This is become the big reason to conduct this research that aims to discover the Papuan high school students' perceptions and attitudes towards English majors. The case study design was used to describe this case. This research involved five schools in Sorong and Raja Ampat Regency. The sample of this research was 50 Papuan high school students’ taken from the five schools that participated. In collecting the data, the research used interviews and attitude questionnaires. The result regarding the students' perceptions is that most Papuan students think English is confusing and complex. It is because of the teaching method or strategy that the teacher considers monotone and boring. The pedagogical competence of an English teacher also influences this student's opinion. As an impact, fewer want to pursue English-related careers, like educators or tourism jobs. Most want to become civil servants after graduating from senior high school. Regarding the student's attitude, 86% of respondents have a negative attitude towards the English major. The significant cause is that they previously had no interest or motivation in learning English. As an impact, most of them do not want to choose English as their major at the university level.

Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties encountered by English Education Program graduate students at State University of Makassar when delivering academic oral presentations. The research explores these difficulties from two perspectives: the students' self-reported experiences and how these difficulties are reflected in the written aspects of the presentations. The goal of the research is twofold: to identify the difficulties that hinder students' successful presentations and to develop solutions to improve their oral presentation skills. By understanding the challenges faced by students, educators can develop more effective teaching strategies to address these difficulties. The findings of this research are expected to benefit both English educators and students. Educators will gain insights into the specific challenges faced by their students during academic oral presentations. This knowledge will allow them to tailor their instruction to better prepare students for these presentations. Students will benefit from the development of improved teaching strategies that target their specific areas of difficulty. The research design employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Data will be collected through student surveys, interviews, and analysis of written presentation materials. The surveys will gather data on the students' self-reported difficulties during oral presentations. The interviews will provide a deeper understanding of the students' experiences and perspectives. Finally, analysis of the written presentation materials will allow researchers to examine how these difficulties manifest in the written aspects of the presentations. This study contributes to the existing body of research on the challenges faced by EFL learners in academic settings. By focusing specifically on the difficulties encountered during oral presentations, the research provides valuable insights for educators who are seeking to improve the oral communication skills of their students. The findings of this research can be applied to English language programs at universities around the world, ultimately improving the quality of academic oral presentations delivered by EFL students.

Abstract

Speaking skills are one aspect that needs to be develop in context of language learning. However, there are still many students who have difficulty in mastering this skill, because of the lack of knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, cause a lack of confidence in students when they want to speak English. This study investigates the effectiveness of the storytelling technique in enhancing the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu. Addressing the urgent need for engaging and student-centered strategies to improve oral proficiency, this research offers empirical evidence on the value of storytelling in English language learning. A quasi-experimental method was employed using pre-test and post-test procedures in both experimental and control groups. Thirty students were selected through convenience sampling, with fifteen assigned to each group. The experimental group received six sessions of storytelling-based instruction, while the control group learned through conventional methods. Findings reveal a substantial improvement in the experimental group, which achieved a post-test mean score of 69.33, compared to 44.67 in the control group. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating storytelling as an effective instructional technique within the Indonesian Islamic junior high school context.

Abstract

The kindergarten students of TK Adicita Mulia require a learning achievement to fulfill their phonics reading skills. However, the students have consistently struggled to recognize the decoding concept as the fundamental learning in reading phonics. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the improvement of students’ decoding phonics using a multisensory teaching approach for kindergarten students of the K1 level at TK Adicita Mulia. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). The multisensory approach involved the students’ auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile senses to understand better decoding concept instruction in recognizing individual sounds and combining them into Consonant, Vowel, Consonant (CVC) words. The improvements focused on the learning outcome of developing decoding skills as the fundamental stage for reading readiness. This research also observed the students’ engagement during the learning process to be attracted to the learning media such as Play-Doh, sand, and flashcards as the interactive learning style for the students. Also, it observed the students’ disruptive behavior, such as uncontrolled behavior, impatience, and lack of focus in the classroom. The results showed that 60% of the students who did not initially improve could demonstrate notable progress in the second cycle. The learning media also generated great enthusiasm during the learning process and positively influenced the change of disruptive behavior into controlled behavior during phonics learning.

Abstract

Speaking ability is crucial in English language education, particularly for junior high school students, because it impacts their future academic and professional success. This study focuses on seventh-grade students at SMP Santu Petrus Junior High School, who show varied English proficiency levels due to diverse educational backgrounds and limited internet access in rural areas. These students often struggle with low engagement and confidence in speaking English, lacking vocabulary and proper pronunciation. To address these challenges, this research investigates the implementation of co-teaching, where two or more teachers collaboratively instruct in a single classroom. This approach aims to enhance language education by combining teachers' unique skills and methods. Conducted as a Classroom Action Research (CAR) (Brown, 2004), the study involves pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and field notes to assess co-teaching's method improvement. Previous studies suggest co-teaching improves student participation, engagement, and language proficiency through differentiated instruction and dynamic learning environments. This study aims to confirm these findings and provide practical insights into co-teaching to boost the speaking abilities of seventh-grade students at SMP Santu Petrus. The expected outcome is increased student participation, confidence, and overall English speaking proficiency.

Abstract

English proficiency is an essential skill in the professional world, facilitating access to global information and career advancement. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE, 2024) identifies communication skills as a key component of employability. However, many Indonesian students, including those at a technology-based university in Bali, struggle with low confidence in speaking English. The previous study found that factors such as fear of making mistakes, lack of speaking practice, limited vocabulary, and negative past experiences contribute to this challenge (Dewi, 2024). This study examines the effectiveness of the “A Day Out with a Foreigner” program, which applies Project-Based Learning (PBL) based on Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) to enhance students’ confidence in speaking English. A quantitative associative research design was employed, with data collected through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The sample consisted of 79 students, selected from a population of 90 using random sampling based on the Henry King Nomogram. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test, a non-parametric inferential statistical method. The results indicate a strong positive correlation between pre-test and post-test scores (Rs = 0.862), demonstrating that the program effectively boosts students’ confidence in spoken English.
