The Impact of Infographic Media and Peer Collaboration on Students' Speaking Ability in Describing Someone
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of infographic media and peer collaboration on students' speaking ability in descriptive text learning. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a mixed-methods approach, the research was conducted at a vocational high school (SMK) in Cimahi, Indonesia. The participants consisted of 40 tenth-grade students, divided into an experimental group (n=20) and a control group (n=20). The experimental group received instruction using infographic media and peer collaboration, while the control group followed conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure speaking ability and semi-structured interviews to understand students' experiences. The results revealed that the experimental group showed a significant improvement in speaking scores, with a mean increase from 69.00 to 79.00, compared to the control group’s increase from 68.90 to 74.80. The independent sample t-test showed a significant difference (t = 2.520, p = 0.016) between the two groups. Qualitative findings indicated that infographics enhanced comprehension and organization of ideas, while peer collaboration provided practice opportunities and constructive feedback. However, challenges such as unequal participation and the complexity of some infographics were noted. These findings suggest that integrating visual and collaborative learning strategies can effectively enhance students' speaking ability in descriptive tasks.uld not repeat the information already present in the title. The abstract should be written in English.
