Hadi, Arshydna Rahma
Abstract
English teaching in Indonesia is limited to academic environments, where students do not have many opportunities to use English in everyday life. This makes the role of schools very important in providing the basics of English language skills for students. To overcome this limitation, the school utilizes the English Club as a forum to develop students’ English language skills. This study aims to identify English Club activities and analyze students’ perceptions of them through qualitative methods with observation and interview data collection techniques at SMP IT Al-Hikmah. This study found that the majority of students of SMP IT Al-Hikmah Bence had a positive perception of the English Club activities, feeling an increase in English language skills and self-efficacy. In terms of language psychology, students were generally comfortable, although there were obstacles in understanding the material, interaction, and program management. Preferences for places to learn English varied, with the English Club being considered to offer a different and interesting experience. In terms of motivation, students had various reasons for joining, especially extrinsic motivation. Interactive activities such as games were highly preferred. The study concluded that the English Club has the potential to improve students’ abilities and motivation, but improvements are needed in the delivery of materials, interaction, learning environment, and program management.
