Deskripsi

Many learners spend years in English classes yet remain unable to speak with confidence. This is not an individual failure; it is a systematic design flaw. Standard curricula routinely treat English as a subject to know, focused on memorizing grammar rules, vocabulary lists, and reading passages rather than a real-time skill to operate. Speaking is a rapid production skill that requires deliberate, time- pressured practice, yet it is rarely taught explicitly or trained systematically. Recent studies and policy reviews confirm this pattern across global contexts: curricula and high-stakes assessments remain heavily skewed toward reading and writing, while listening and speaking are relegated to the margins. Teachers report that oral activities are frequently rushed, strictly scripted, or bypassed entirely to make room for test preparation and written drills. Students, in turn, identity a lack of practice, fear of making mistakes, and low self-efficacy as their primary barriers to speaking even after years of formal study.
