Abstract

ABSTRACT AN ANALYSIS THE ROLE OF SPEAKING FOR ACADEMIC SETTING COURSE ON STUDENTS’ SPEAKING PERFORMANCE DURING SEMINAR PROPOSAL This qualitative descriptive study explores the perceived role of the Speaking for Academic Settings (SFAS) course on students’ speaking performance during their proposal seminars at IAIN Curup. Using Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Result to explore the role Although this model is often used for evaluation, here the researcher uses it as a framework for analyzing roles, not for evaluating this course. This research involved seven purposively selected participants had completed the Speaking for Academic Settings course,they have already participated in the seminar proposal,and they were willing to be actively involved in an in-depth interview. Data were collected through in- depth interviews and video documentation, then analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that most students perceived the SFAS course as playing a significant role in enhancing their academic presentation skills, including structured delivery, appropriate language use, and effective non-verbal communication. The course also played a role in reducing speaking anxiety and increasing confidence for some participants. However, the study also found that the role of the course was not equally realized by all students, as some participants experienced continued nervousness, limited retention of strategies, and a sense of being overlooked in classroom attention. These challenges affected the degree to which students could benefit from the course. The study concludes that while the SFAS course generally plays a positive role in supporting academic speaking, the extent and nature of this role vary across individuals. Therefore, a more inclusive and supportive instructional approach is recommended to better accommodate students with different learning needs and speaking confidence level.
