should be dynamic, energetic, and interactive in order for learning to be enjoyable and long-lasting.

However, what a person thinks or perceives may differ greatly from reality. According to the perceptions of all students obtained through an online mode interview, the Small-Group Discussion is a type of discussion that assists students in improving their speaking skills through the expression of their ideas, sharing with other group members, and training students to solve problems. Some students believed that the Small-Group Discussion was an effective strategy for increasing students' interest in English study. Joining the Small-Group Discussion can help students gain confidence in speaking English. But it can also help students comprehend the reading, such as understanding vocabulary, identifying detail information, identifying the main factual information, identifying the main idea, identifying the meaning of specific words, and identifying the implicit information.

The students asserted that they were taught to communicate well in English during the Small-Group Discussion, and the lecturer encouraged them to continue developing their speaking abilities. Some pupils stated that they appreciated the experience because they were not uncomfortable and felt more calm and driven. They progressed while speaking English through the Small- Group Discussion, such as feeling confident in speaking, being motivated to speak because there are so many arguments that need to be resolved in order to solve the one problem that the student encountered, and appreciating one

another because of their divergent viewpoints. In other words, the students claimed that they were always inspired to speak English after joining the Small-Group Discussion, they felt more confident speaking English, and the Small-Group Discussion may help them improve their skill. Students stated that Small-Group Discussions may help them enhance their speaking abilities and English skills, since this method could assist their ability to communicate more fluently in English.

Additionally, there are research findings offered by the second researcher that corroborate this interview result. According to Brown's (2001) research findings, a Small-Group Discussion is a group of six or fewer students assigned a collaborative job. Discussion is one of the most prevalent forms of communication. The beneficial quality of conversation is the sharing of knowledge between participants. It is beneficial for pupils to be able to express themselves freely and without fear of humiliation. Students must collaborate to design a strategy, solve an issue, or finish a task in these activities. The students believed that Small-Group Discussion is an excellent strategy because it encourages and motivates students to speak up in front of a large group. Additionally, Ness (2010) claimed that Small-Group Discussion involves three or more individuals interacting face to face, with or without an assigned leader, in such a way that each individual impacts and is impacted by another member of the group. According to the results of the interview, the researcher concluded that the majority of students agree that Small-Group

Discussion helps them improve their speaking ability and increases their interest in learning English, and the students prefer to learn English in Small- Group Discussion rather than Large-Group Discussion because they could enjoy the material and felt comfortable. The Small-Group Discussion was an excellent strategy for improving kids' speaking abilities and instilling confidence in students when they communicate their opinions.
