Abstract

This study aims to investigate the implementation of the Daily English Conversation
(DEC) program and its role in improving students' speaking skills at the Walisongo
Islamic boarding school. This study employed a qualitative method, using a case study
approach. Data were collected through interviews and observations. This research
involves 40 students from Class 4 of the Language Improvement Section (LIS), who
actively participated in a daily English conversation program. The interview
participants included several fourth-grade students of the LIS, serving as a purposively
selected sample. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed
that the program was implemented systematically through various activities, including
vocabulary building, daily English conversations, public speaking, English morning,
Language for Fun and Morning Tea. The institutional structure involving student
leaders supported the program. The habit of using English in daily life can improve
vocabulary, fluency in speaking, and self-confidence. It can be concluded that this
program is highly effective in improving students' speaking skills and can be applied in
other boarding school educational institutions.
