Students' Perception On Use Of "X" As A Learning Medium To Assist Speaking Skills: A Narrative Inquiry
In the digital era, the integration of social media in education has opened new opportunities for language learning, particularly in improving speaking skills. This research explores students’ perceptions of using "X Spaces," a live audio conversation feature on the X platform (formerly Twitter), as a medium to support English speaking practice. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the study involved five senior high school students in Pekalongan who have experience using X Spaces for learning purposes. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that most students perceive X Spaces as an effective and enjoyable tool for practicing speaking. It offers flexibility, increases confidence, and fosters motivation through positive peer feedback. Students appreciated the informal and anonymous setting, which reduced speaking anxiety. However, some challenges such as lack of familiarity with the platform and fear of mispronunciation were also noted. This study concludes that X Spaces has the potential to enhance speaking skills when supported with structured activities and proper guidance. It highlights the importance of digital literacy, emotional support, and strategic implementation in maximizing the educational use of social media. These insights are expected to inform educators in designing more innovative and student-centered speaking instruction.
