Abstract

Choral speaking is generally defined as a learning strategy in the classroom by reciting a text by a group. This case study aims to investigate the effect of using choral speaking for building students’ positive characters. It was conducted in a speaking class in the English Education Department at one of the universities in Indonesia. The data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and face to face semi-structured interviews with 50-second semester students who had experienced the choral speaking project in their speaking class. The results of this study indicated that the students had positive attitudes towards the use of choral speaking strategy in their speaking class. They claimed that the use of a choral speaking strategy could lead them to build better interpersonal and leadership skills since they had interacted most of the time inside and outside the classroom with one another starting from preparing for the script, practicing, recording, until performing the choral speaking show. Choral speaking is assumed to be effective for building the students’ positive characters, mostly cooperation, responsibility, self-discipline, and respect
