Abstract

In human society, the need for interpersonal connection has given rise to the emergence of language. Beyond serving as a medium of communication, language functions as a vehicle for articulating emotions and conveying thoughts, with its use shaped by contextual and situational factors. This research seeks to examine the language styles engaged by students of the English Education Department at Mulawarman University, using Martin Joos’ (1976) theory and Holmes (2013) as sociolinguistic theory. The study investigates the categories of language styles used in students' speech and the factors influencing their choice of style. A qualitative method was applied, utilizing data from a recorded video interview and follow-up semi-structured interviews with two selected participants. Data analysis was undertaken using thematic analysis guided by Braun and Clarke (2006) framework. The findings reveal that three out of five language styles formulated by Joos—consultative, casual, and intimate—were used by the participants, with consultative style being the most dominant. Language style occurred primarily in academic contexts, especially when interacting with instructors or unfamiliar individuals. Factors influencing language style include the speaker, setting, topic, and function, in alignment with Holmes’ (1992) sociolinguistic theory. Furthermore, although participants often identified their style as “formal,” triangulation with Joos’ and Braund and Clarke theory revealed that their usage aligned as consultative features. These findings provide valuable insights into how language styles function in educational settings and highlight the importance of context in language use.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the problems faced by university students in English speaking classes across different proficiency levels at one of the universities in East Kalimantan and their strategies to overcome the problems. This research used a quantitative survey method. The data was collected using a questionnaire divided into two sections, speaking problems and strategies, shared using Google Forms. 85 of 100 students answered the questionnaire. The findings revealed that the most prevalent problems were affective-related (68.7%) and linguistic-related (62.0%). Specifically, 83.5% of students reported fear of making mistakes, 82.4% struggled with overuse of their mother tongue, and 75.3% faced insufficient grammar knowledge. Beginner students exhibited the highest frequency of issues, with 100% acknowledging fear of mistakes, while intermediate and advanced students also reported significant affective and linguistic challenges, albeit at slightly lower rates (e.g., 86% and 74% for fear of mistakes, respectively). Coping strategies varied by proficiency level: beginners relied heavily on passive methods like watching movies (75%), while intermediate students incorporated more interactive strategies, such as peer practice (37.9%). Advanced learners demonstrated balanced strategies, including regular speaking practice (52.2%) and peer interaction (60.9%). The study results underline the need for tailored pedagogical interventions to support students’ emotional readiness and language competence, emphasizing the importance of strategic practice environments and personalized feedback.
