Abstract
This research was conducted to explore how the implementation of the English Day program improves the speaking skills of primary school students and to identify the obstacles faced during its implementation. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design, which was conducted in an Islamic primary school in Pekalongan City. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews involving fifth-grade students and teachers. Thematic analysis based on Braun and Clarke’s framework was used to analyze the findings. The results revealed that English Day, when implemented through the experiential learning stages-Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation-significantly contributed to students’ improvement in vocabulary use, pronunciation, and confidence in speaking. However, the study also revealed some challenges, including speaking anxiety, lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, inadequate practice or preparation time, and fear-induced silence. These constraints hinder students’ optimal engagement in speaking activities. This study concludes that English Day is an effective strategy to improve speaking proficiency among primary school students, especially when supported by proper teaching planning and a psychologically safe learning environment. It not only strengthens students’ linguistic competence but also nurtures their self-expression, autonomy and enthusiasm in using English in the daily school context.
