This qualitative study investigates the implementation of VoiceThread as a technological tool to enhance the speaking skills of senior high school students. Grounded in a multifaceted theoretical framework encompassing Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML), and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the research explores the integration of this tool within the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework. Conducted at SMAN 1 Sukaresmi with students and a teacher, the study addresses two central questions: first, what kinds of VoiceThread features help students enhance their speaking skills, and second, what the perceived benefits and challenges are for students when using VoiceThread for speaking tasks. Data were collected through classroom observations and student questionnaires. The findings provide a rich, descriptive account of how the platform's multimedia capabilities—particularly asynchronous voice commenting and the re-record function—can foster a more communicative, cognitively engaging, and motivationally supportive learning environment by promoting autonomy and reducing anxiety. Furthermore, the study highlights the teacher's crucial role in scaffolding this technology use. This research contributes valuable dual-perspective insights for educators and institutions seeking to effectively leverage digital tools to address the challenges of teaching speaking skills in EFL classrooms.Referensi
