Improving Students' Speaking Skills using Discussion Method with Spin Wheel Website

---

In the current educational context, students often face challenges in
speaking skills caused by limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and low
motivation. While discussion-based learning and problem-based learning (PBL)
approaches have been explored separately, the integration of technology remains
underdeveloped. Therefore, this study investigated the use of the Spin Wheel
website in group discussions with a PBL approach to enhance students‘ speaking
skills at SMPK Sang Timur Malang involving 22 grade VIII students.
This research applied a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design
conducted in one cycle with three meetings, following the stages of planning,
implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through a
speaking test assessing fluency, accuracy, comprehension, clarity, and interaction;
an observation checklist monitoring engagement and participation; and interviews
capturing students‘ perceptions. The Spin Wheel was used to randomly assign
roles and select discussion topics reflecting real-life school problems (e.g., being
late, not doing assignments, low motivation, untidy class) which required students
to propose solutions in the form of procedure texts. A preliminary study revealed
students‘ speaking proficiency ranged between 50–65%.
The findings indicated a significant improvement in speaking ability, with
18 out of 22 students (81.82%) achieving scores above the minimum threshold of
70, surpassing the 75% success criteria. Students showed improvement in fluency,
accuracy, comprehension, clarity, and interaction, along with increased
motivation, confidence, and vocabulary use, and reduced fear of mistakes. It can
be concluded that integrating Spin Wheel with PBL discussions effectively
enhances speaking skills by creating a fair, engaging, and student-centered
learning environment. This method is recommended for English teachers as an
innovative strategy, while future research is advised to extend the duration,
increase the number of cycles, involve larger samples, and compare with other
digital media to explore broader and long-term impacts.
