Abstract

Ulum, Bahrul. 2025. Students' Perceptions and Challenges Toward the Use of Interactive Powerpoint Presentations to Enhance Communication Skill, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (I) Dr. Ima Isnaini Taufiqur Rohmah, M.Pd., (II) Ayu Fitrianingsih, M.Pd. Keywords: Interactive PowerPoint, communication skill, perception, challenge, qualitative research This qualitative case study explores students’ perceptions and challenges regarding the use of Interactive PowerPoint Presentations (IPPs) in enhancing communication skills. Conducted at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro with 35 fourth-semester students from the English Education Department, the study employed questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations as data collection methods. The findings reveal that most students perceive IPPs as effective tools for developing communication skills, especially in organizing ideas, boosting confidence, and maintaining audience engagement. Students noted that the use of visuals and structured content helped reduce speaking anxiety and improved their public speaking performance. However, several challenges were identified, including excessive text on slides, poor design layout, limited multimedia skills, and over-reliance on the presentation itself, which sometimes hindered spontaneous speaking. Technical issues and a lack of training were also noted as barriers. Despite these obstacles, IPPs remain a valuable tool when properly designed and guided. The study concludes that integrating IPPs with proper instructional support enhances both verbal and non-verbal communication skills. These findings provide insight for educators and institutions to improve multimedia-based instruction in language learning.
