Why are most students hesitant to speak English well in a foreign language learning environment?

• Small group discussions help participants become aware of diverse opinions, emotionally involve them in the learning process, create cohesion and trust, and build interpersonal skills and confidence.

• Teachers often use activities like having students read conversations or dialogues aloud, which doesn't allow students to express their ideas directly, hindering improvement in speaking skills.

• Most students face communication hindrances due to conditioning factors, both internal (personal factors) and external (classroom environment, social contacts, teacher support).

What are some internal factors that contribute to students' reluctance to practice speaking?

• Internal factors include concerns related to personality, fear of being mocked for learning mistakes, low motivation, limited vocabulary, and grammatical errors.

• Hadfield identifies three features: the opportunity for speaking practices, purposeful communication, and meaningful situations.

• The research method used in this study is classroom action research.

What research method was employed in this study?

• The data collection process is described in the appendix 1.

• The research method used in this study is classroom action research.

• Describe the researcher's role during the acting stage of each cycle.

How many cycles of research were conducted, and what was the purpose of these cycles?

• Two cycles of research were conducted to observe and analyze the effects of the implemented changes in teaching strategies

• Each cycle in classroom action research includes planning, acting, observing, and reflecting.

• Hadfield identifies three features: the opportunity for speaking practices, purposeful communication, and meaningful situations.

In the planning stage, what is the primary task of the researcher?

• The researcher used observation, interviews, and research methods to gather data on teaching speaking ability.

  
  

• The researcher discovered a significant difference in teaching speaking ability using small group discussion based on observation, interview, and research.

• The researcher's primary task in the planning stage is to identify a problem.

What are the key components of each cycle in classroom action research?

• Each cycle in classroom action research includes planning, acting, observing, and reflecting.

• During the acting stage, the researcher collects and analyzes the data, implementing changes based on the identified problem.

• In the observing stage, the researcher develops a plan for change and implements these changes, which is the action component of action research.
