Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ affective and cognitive experiences
in learning EFL speaking through interactive digital media, focusing on
their transformation from passive and anxious learners to more
confident speakers. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive
phenomenological design, the research was conducted in class XI IPA 2
at SMAN Paiton. Participants were selected purposively. Data were
collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations,
and documentation, and analyzed thematically. The findings indicate
significant affective and cognitive changes. Students experienced
reduced anxiety, increased motivation, and stronger self-confidence.
Interactive digital media created a safer and more engaging learning
environment. Cognitively, students showed improved comprehension,
pronunciation awareness, idea development, fluency, and autonomous
learning strategies. The study concludes that interactive digital media
functions as both affective and cognitive mediation in EFL speaking
instruction. It is recommended that teachers integrate digital tools
systematically to support students’ emotional readiness, active
participation, and long-term communicative competence.
