For this reason, improving the ability to speak English in higher education is very important in facing the challenges of globalization and increasing workforce needs. A competency-based learning approach is a solution that is used as an effective method to achieve improvements in speaking abilities. Purpose. The aim of this research is to find out whether implementing a competency-based learning approach can improve students' ability to speak English. Method. This research method uses quantitative research methods with a survey approach. The survey used in this research was seen from student participants at several universities that implement a competency-based learning approach in learning English. Data was collected through questionnaires given to students who assessed the learning approach and their English speaking skills before and after implementing the learning approach. Results. The results of this research state that universities that implement a competency-based learning approach provide a positive impact and great opportunities for students in higher education to improve their English speaking skills. The survey results also show that students are satisfied with competency-based learning. Conclusion. The conclusion of this research explains that the competency-based learning approach is effective in improving English speaking skills in higher education. The implication of this research is the importance of implementing a learning approach that is appropriate to current global needs to prepare students with relevant and competent skills in English.

Abstract

Background. The storytelling method has become a popular approach in English language learning due to its ability to increase student interest and participation. However, quantitative research specifically focussing on the effectiveness of this method in the development of reading skills is limited. Purpose. This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the storytelling method in English language learning, with a focus on the development of reading skills. Method. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to students who are learning English. The questionnaire measured students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the storytelling method in improving their reading skills. Results. The results showed that most students (83.3%) believed that the storytelling method was effective or very effective in improving their interest and understanding of reading skills. However, a small proportion of students (16.7%) had a neutral view on the effectiveness of this method. Conclusion. The findings of this study indicate that the storytelling method is effective in improving students' reading skills in English language learning. By considering students' perceptions and integrating the storytelling approach into the curriculum, educators can enhance students' learning experiences and support the development of reading skills more effectively.
