Abstract

This study investigates the teaching strategies employed at MA Al-Hidayah Muara Telang, focusing on enhancing students' English speaking skills. Through qualitative analysis of classroom observations and interviews with two English teachers, the research identifies a range of strategies including Dialogue, Questions and Answers, Conversation, Role-plays, Writing Tasks, and Drilling and Chant. These methods aim to foster student engagement, improve language proficiency, and encourage active participation in the learning process. The findings reveal a consistent use of interactive and communicative strategies by the teachers to create an engaging learning environment. However, challenges such as limited student participation, anxiety about speaking English, reliance on native language, and passive behavior in class were observed. These issues highlight the complexities of teaching and learning English as a second language and the need for approaches that boost confidence and participation. The study suggests incorporating supportive teaching practices, promoting a positive classroom atmosphere, and diversifying communicative activities to address these challenges. It underscores the importance of adaptability in teaching strategies to meet diverse student needs and enhance the effectiveness of English language education. This research contributes to the discourse on English language teaching, emphasizing the critical role of interactive strategies and the psychological aspects of language learning. It calls for further exploration into innovative methods to enrich English language teaching and learning experiences at MA Al-Hidayah Muara Telang and similar educational contexts.

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the English speaking proficiency of students. The students' English speaking achievement was abysmal. The aims of this study were to determine: (1) the extent of improvement in speaking skills with and without the use of the direct instructional strategy, and (2) whether there was a notable improvement in the speaking skills of students who received the direct instructional strategy compared to those who did not. This study employed quasi-experimental research methodology. A total of 16 students were selected as a sample, with 16 students assigned to the experimental class and another 16 students assigned to the control class. The data were gathered by the administration of an oral examination. The data were analysed using both paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. Through data analysis, it was determined that there was a notable surge in pupils' proficiency in oral communication. The paired sample t-test yielded a t-test statistic of -28.428 and a significance value of 0.00, which was less than the predetermined significance level of α (0.05). This demonstrates an enhancement in students' oral communication abilities. Furthermore, the results of the independent sample t-test indicate that the calculated t-test value (-13.075) and the corresponding p-value (0.00) were both below the predetermined significance level (α) of 0.05. The results indicate a substantial disparity in the average speaking abilities of pupils who received teaching through the direct instruction technique compared to those who did not get such instruction.
