Abstract:
This study investigates how English-speaking engagement activities enhance the fluency of second-year English major students at Tagoloan Community College. It focuses on three key strategies—storytelling, role-playing, and impromptu speaking—and examines how the frequency of teacher evaluations influences students’ participation and performance. Employing a mixed-methods design that integrates both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study utilizes survey data, rubric-based performance assessments, and interview-driven thematic analysis. Findings reveal that students demonstrate high proficiency in storytelling and role-playing activities but exhibit moderate difficulty in impromptu speaking. Moreover, regression analysis indicates that frequent teacher evaluations have a negative effect on engagement levels, particularly in storytelling and impromptu speaking tasks. The results highlight the importance of balanced assessment practices and varied speaking activities to foster greater confidence and fluency among English language learners.
