Abstract


Speech performance is a speaking activity that requires creativity, improvisation, and innovation. Speech performance is the process and activity of using language to express thoughts and feelings. The purpose of this paper is to describe (1) how students' speech performance is in teaching-learning English in seminars on ELT courses and (2) the objectives and benefits of seminars on ELT courses to improve students' speech performance skills. This study was observed using an anthropolinguistic approach using analytical parameters, namely interconnection, valuability, and sustainability. A qualitative paradigm with an ethnographic model is used in this study. It was found that the objectives and benefits of the seminar on ELT course in improving student speech performance are to (1) improve the ability to identify, formulate, and solve problems in writing and orally, (2) improve scientific language skills in public, (3) students learn how to express their own ideas, and (4) to deepen knowledge and express opinions orally. Speech performance is a language process and activity in conveying the speaker's thoughts and feelings. The Seminar on ELT course is very useful for increasing students' ability to speak English. Students' language performance in teaching English in the seminar course shows how students speak creatively, improvisational, and innovatively.
