Abstract

This research aimed to explore effective cooperative learning strategies for learners with disabilities and identified the challenges teachers face in implementing these strategies in the classroom. A qualitative descriptive approach using a case study design was utilized for data collection, including observations, interviews, and documentation analysis. The collected data was analyzed deductively. The participants of this research were four English teachers and six disabled students of SMAN 4 Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan. The findings of this study revealed that teachers employ various cooperative learning strategies such as NHT (Number Head Together), Jigsaw, Round Robin, and STAD (Student Teams Achievement Divisions) to support students with disabilities. However, teachers encounter specific obstacles in implementing these strategies, including the unique characteristics of each student with a disability, requiring individualized adaptations. This implies that teaching and learning approaches for students with special needs cannot be standardized, and personalized attention and active involvement from both the teacher and other students are crucial for optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

Many language learners face challenges in developing English speaking fluency, including mispronunciation, limited vocabulary, and low self-confidence. This study examines the effectiveness of the ELSA Speak application in improving speaking skills and reducing speaking barriers. Using an Explanatory Sequential Design, the research includes a quantitative phase followed by a qualitative phase. In the quantitative phase, students took pre-tests and post-tests to measure progress. Results showed significant improvement, especially in pronunciation. The qualitative phase involved interviews to explore students’ experiences using the app. Findings revealed increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and positive responses to the app’s real-time feedback and pronunciation correction features. Despite minor technical issues, students found ELSA Speak engaging and helpful for independent practice. The study concludes that ELSA Speak is an effective tool for enhancing fluency and addressing speaking difficulties. These results suggest that digital applications can support traditional language learning by providing structured and interactive speaking practice.
