ABSTRACT Afzanal Qadri, 2321006, “The Effect Of Using Duolingo App Toward Students’ Speaking Skill At Smpn 2 Ampek Angkek”. Undergraduate Thesis, English Education Study Program, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, State Islamic University of Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi, 2025. This research was conducted to evaluate the significant impact of utilizing the Duolingo application on students’ speaking performance at SMPN 2 Ampek Angkek. Given that oral communication is a fundamental aspect of English proficiency, many students still struggle with speaking anxiety and a lack of practice. Consequently, this study explores how the integration of digital learning platforms like Duolingo can serve as an effective tool to foster students' speaking fluency, providing them with a more interactive and accessible learning experience. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi- experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test. The population of the study consisted of eighth-grade students, and the sample was divided into an experimental class and a control class. The experimental class was taught speaking using the Duolingo application, while the control class received conventional speaking instruction. The data were collected through speaking tests administered before and after the treatment and were assessed based on accuracy and fluency. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26, including descriptive statistics, normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test. The results of the paired sample t-test revealed a significance value (p) of .000, which is lower than the standard significance level of 0.05. This statistical evidence indicates that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, confirming a significant effect of using the Duolingo application on students’ speaking ability at SMPN 2 Ampek Angkek. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Duolingo serves as an effective supplementary tool to enhance students' oral performance in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom context.

ABSTRACT Julia Anugerah Putri, THE EFFECT OF USING PODCASTS ON STUDENTS’ SPEAKING AND LISTENING ABILITIES IN MAS DARUL MAKMUR, A Thesis, State Islamic University of Sjech M Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi, 2025. This research aimed to investigate The Effect of Using Podcasts on Students’ Speaking and Listening Abilities in MAS Darul Makmur. The study was motivated by the preliminary finding that students at the institution struggled with low proficiency in both oral and aural skills, which was attributed to a lack of exposure to authentic English language input and insufficient opportunities for real communicative practice in their conventional learning environment. The research employed a quasi-experimental design utilizing a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group setup. The study involved a sample of approximately 44 students, divided into an experimental group (receiving podcast- based instruction) and a control group (receiving conventional instruction). Data were collected using speaking and listening tests and analyzed using non- parametric statistics—specifically the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test for internal comparisons and the Mann-Whitney U Test for inter-group comparisons—as the data violated the assumptions of normality and homogeneity. The results demonstrated a significant positive effect on the students’ communicative competence. For speaking ability, the podcast intervention led to a significant improvement (p=0.000), with the experimental group achieving a superior post-test mean score of 62.24 compared to the control group's 54.73. For listening ability, a significant internal gain was observed in the experimental group (p=0.000), although the post-test difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p=0.089). Crucially, the multivariate analysis confirmed a significant combined positive effect on both listening and speaking ability (p=0.000). The study concludes that the use of podcasts is an effective and integrated instructional strategy for enhancing students' overall speaking and listening competence. Keywords: Podcasts, Speaking Ability, Listening Ability

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the English extracurricular program in relation to students' speaking ability at Diniyyah Pasia Boarding School. The English extracurricular activity serves as an informal learning platform expected to enhance students' speaking skills. The main focus of this study is to explore how the program is implemented, the types of speaking activities conducted, and how students respond and participate in the program. However, the effectiveness of this program still needs to be further examined, particularly in terms of teaching methods, students’ interest, and active participation in speaking activities. This research applies a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interview the students and a mentor, observations of extracurricular activities, as well as documentation. The participants were 10th grade students who actively joined the program, along with the mentor responsible for delivering the activities. The collected data were analysed through several stages, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, to identify patterns and themes related to speaking problems and factors influencing the program’s effectiveness. The findings of this study reveal that the English extracurricular program at Diniyyah Pasia Boarding School is conducted regularly and follows a structured schedule; however, it still encounters several challenges that limit its effectiveness in improving students’ speaking skills. One of the major issues identified is the lack of variety in teaching methods used by the instructors, resulting in speaking activities that are often repetitive and less engaging for the students. Moreover, the absence of supporting media, such as audio-visual tools or interactive learning aids, contributes to a less dynamic learning environment. The speaking activities provided, such as public speaking and conversation are not always aligned with students’ interests or levels, leading to low motivation and limited confidence when speaking in English. It was also observed that not all students are given equal opportunities to speak in each session due to time constraints and the large number of participants. Despite these challenges, some students demonstrated improvement in their confidence and willingness to participate after attending the program regularly. Therefore, innovation in teaching approaches, the integration of supportive learning media, and the adjustment of activity content to match students' preferences are highly recommended to help the program achieve its goal of enhancing students’ speaking abilities more effectively.

There are four abilities that students need to possess when studying English. The four abilities are speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Learners who wish to become proficient in English both actively and passively should possess these four abilities. Reading, speaking, listening, and writing are the four language skills are crucial for English language learners to acquire in order to communicate successfully, claims Brown (2001). Giving students the skills they need to communicate effectively and correctly is the primary goal of teaching them English. Senior high school students are required to master speaking in various contexts, such as classroom presentations, group discussions, interviews, and others. Thus, speaking skills become a very useful provision for students in their daily lives as well as in preparation for the world of work in the future. There are several reasons why speaking is prioritized in English language for learning. According to Ur (1999) speaking skills are a top priority in English language learning as it allows students to interact directly and communicate their ideas. Therefore, developing students' speaking skills should be the main focus of English language learning at the students are ready for face communication challenges in various life contexts. There are several reasons why students should improve their speaking skills. Firstly, extensive speaking skills will increase effective skills in learners, according to Bygate (2015) speaking skills allow learners to communicate effectively in a variety of situations both ceremonial and relax. Good mastery of English speaking skills will provide significant advantages for students, both in academic contexts and preparation for entering the world of work. Secondly, speaking is a part of confidence in learners in public, with good public speaking that they master, according to Harmer (2006) by practicing speaking, learners will feel more confident in using English. From good speaking skills can also build their confidence in using English in various contexts because of good public speaking. Thirdly, speaking can aid students in comprehending the vocabulary, grammar, and other facets of the English language; this will enhance their ability to communicate, claims Brown (2007). Students discover that speaking is beneficial at various grade levels, and that learning and vocabulary growth have an impact on speaking abilities. In English learning in high school, there are several lessons that they learn from the 10th grade, such as self-introduction, simple conversation, picture description, storytelling, giving opinion, etc. In this learning, it means that the participants are able to speak. However, in reality, students are still far from being able to speak. One of the main causes of students' low speaking ability is the lack of sufficient speaking practice during classroom learning (Kayi, 2006). Efforts are needed to identify and implement methods of learning to speak, so as to increase students' enthusiasm and ability in speaking English. Generally, learners who have not been able to speak in English due to several reasons, grade 10 learners still have limited English vocabulary, so they have difficulty in expressing their ideas and thoughts orally (Thornbury, 2005). Therefore, more intensive and innovative efforts are needed in learning English in high school, by providing more opportunities for meaningful speaking practice, increasing student confidence, and balancing mastery of grammar, vocabulary, and speaking skills so that students can communicate effectively in English. The lack of exposure to English in the school environment in Madya's (2013) research shows that the low use of English in the school environment, both by teachers and students, can hinder the development of English speaking skills in learners. Low motivation to learn English in Marzban & Hashemi (2013) research revealed that students' lack of motivation to learn and practice speaking English can hinder speaking skills. The lack of an effective strategy or method of learning to speak tends to decrease students' interest in practicing speaking English, this makes students feel bored and unmoved in mastering speaking (Renandya & Widodo, 2016). By paying attention to the problems mentioned above, ideally, this is contrary to the reality faced by researchers at school, as evidenced by the results of interviews with Mrs. Wenny, one of the English teachers at SMAN 05 Bukittinggi, researchers obtained information that students were unable to answer the teacher's questions, students were unable to respond in English, still used Indonesian in simple sentences, and had poor memory in speaking and repeating the contents of the lesson. Statistical data at school shows ineffective student performance when speaking English; this was found from the results of interviews with researchers and English teachers at SMAN 05 Bukittinggi, illustrated by the results of student grade data and student involvement while studying in class. Choosing a good learning method that can be applied to improve students' speaking ability is Student Team Achievement Division. STAD is a cooperative learning model that involves students in little group to help every other understand for material and achieve learning objective (Slavin, 2014). The STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) cooperative learning method is proven to be effective in upgrading students speak ability. The learn conducive by Jacobs & Hannah (2004) found that through STAD learning, students have more opportunities to practice speaking and get feedback from their teammates. The application of STAD cooperative learning method is proven effective from previous research in improving students' speaking ability through increased motivation, practice opportunities, peer involvement, and self-confidence developed during learning. Through STAD, students are expected to practice speaking English actively in groups, thus improving their confidence and speaking ability

ABSTRACT Novia Zulianti, 2317124. An Analysis On Speaking Ability In Peer Dialogue Activity at the Eighth Grade Islamic Boarding School Ashabul Yamin. A Thesis, State Islamic University (UIN) Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi. 2024. This research is aimed to describe the speaking ability of eighth-grade students at Islamic Boarding School Ashabul Yamin in peer dialogue activities and to identify the factors that influence the speaking ability of eighth-grade students at Islamic Boarding School Ashabul Yamin in peer dialogue activities. The research utilizes a quantitative descriptive design to assess the speaking ability of eighth-grade students at Islamic Boarding School Ashhabul Yamin. The population includes all eighth-grade students, with three classes selected through purposive sampling based on identified problems and teacher recommendations. A speaking test served as the research instrument, assessed by three raters using a rubric proposed by Harris, evaluating pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Data collection involved audio-recording student dialogues, transcribing them, and observing non-verbal cues. Data analysis employed descriptive statistical methods to rate and present the students' speaking abilities in tables and graphs for clarity. . The findings of this study indicate that the students' speaking ability is influenced by their language proficiency, particularly in terms of pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The results show that the students' speaking ability is generally poor, with most of them scoring below 50 in the speaking ability test.The study also found that peer dialogue cannot be an effective strategy for improving speaking ability in EFL classrooms, as it cannot compensate for the lack of language proficiency. Therefore, language instructors should not solely rely on peer dialogue as a speaking practice activity. Instead, they should integrate peer dialogue with other instructional strategies that focus on language development, such as explicit vocabulary instruction, grammar practice, and fluency-building exercises
