The widespread use of English worldwide has brought about a significant impact for human beings to date. In the education sphere mainly, many studies have been conducted to discover the issues in English instruction. Moreover, English teachers in Indonesia were highly encouraged to figure out the best method to teach and cope with any problems encountered by the students to achieve the best learning outcomes. Besides, the government had also tried its best endeavors to accustom the curriculum to the needs in this globalization era. However, the results have not always been as expected since teachers and students possessed divergent points of view linked with the implementation of English language instruction. Therefore, this scientific literature review discussed some issues related to English which included; English in Indonesia, English Language Teaching for Education, Teachers’ Strategies to English Language Teaching, Problems of English Language Teaching, and Students’ Perceptions towards English Language Teaching. Furthermore, the main aim of this paper was to acknowledge to the readers that the teachers and students essentially require English due to its crucial role in the development of Education in Indonesia.

In the Indonesian context, limited time to learn speaking skills for EFL students is still one of the issues found in the classroom. The method that can be used to maximize the process of teaching and learning is picture strip story. This research aimed to find out the EFL students' perception of using picture strip stories in learning speaking skills. The participants of this research consisted of twelve students. The writer collected data by using focus group discussions with a semi-structured interview. The researcher used data display, condensation, drawing, and verification in data analysis. The result of this research was positive perceptions from EFL students toward using picture strip stories in learning speaking skills, such as improving students' confidence to speak with others, developing the students' proficiency in language competence, improving students' motivation, and adding the eggar the students to learn speaking skills.
English, among thousands of languages, is the most widespread and spoken by people around the world. Students in Indonesia, in particular, oftentimes measure their English mastery by evaluating to what extent their speaking fluency. It, thus, becomes challenging since they are not merely called for producing words but are required to apply the appropriate way of delivering the messages as well. With that in mind, this article aimed at figuring out the common challenges, which in turn lead to students’ speaking disfluency. Moreover, to unearth the answer to the objectives, this study applied qualitative library research which primarily focused on analyzing the secondary data such as online books, and articles as the sources. Finally, the challenges found encountered by the students to get fluency were affected by eight factors such as; Vocabulary, Grammar, Anxiety, Lack of Motivation, Learning Environment, Teachers’ Teaching Strategies, Self-Confidence, and Age. Besides, this article also proposed alternative solutions for both teachers and students in overcoming the issues. In a nutshell, the researcher hopes that this paper would benefit the upcoming researchers to be cited as an additional reference in English studies, and for teachers to be a guide to promote students’ speaking fluency.
Although studies on the use of picture strip stories have been prominent, exploring perceptions of EFL teachers remain under-research. To fill this gap, this study aims to explore EFL teachers’perceptions of using picture strip stories for teaching speaking skills. This study used qualitative research that collected the data through a semi-structured interview involving three purposively selected English teachers at Indonesian senior high schools in central Lombok, Indonesia. To analyze the data,this study used ATLAS. Ti 9 application with thematic analysis. The findings showed various perceptions of the teachers in using the picture strip stories in their English speaking classrooms, including their perceived ability to promote the students’ collaborative learning, accelerate their students’ speaking skill, and improve their students’ focus on learning. It was also perceived that the students’ vocabulary repertoire improved. Challenges encountered by the teachers when implementing the strategy were expounded as well. Limitations and recommendations for future studies on the use of Picture Strip Stories are discussed
