Abstract

—This study investigates the learning process of literary oral expression among lecturers and students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education S-1 Study Program at Semarang State University, Sultan Agung University, and Muria Kudus University. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Students' and instructors' opinions of textbooks for studying literary vocal expression serve as the study's data. Respondents are chosen at random based on specific criteria, such as students who have taken or are currently taking the course on literary oral expression and instructors who have taught it. According to the findings of observations and interviews, learning to speak literature has not produced the best learning results. Despite being backed by effective tactics, media, and assessment instruments, there are still basic issues with the teaching and learning resources. Inhibiting issues include restricted teaching resources that do not align with the Course Outcomes (CPMK), particularly when it comes to poetry declamation and storytelling. Additionally, results demonstrated that university textbooks are still printed and lack humanist values that are crucial for students looking to become future Indonesian language instructors. This impacts the students’ already poor understanding, ability, and skills in speaking. To encourage students to communicate literature more effectively, it is advised that the textbooks include pertinent humanist values. It is anticipated that this research will improve the quality of education in the field of Indonesian language and literature and help build curricula and instructional materials that are more effective for learning literary oral expression. © 2026 ACADEMY PUBLICATION.
