Abstract

Reading anxiety refers to the fear learners experience when reading a foreign language, impacting both the mind and body. This anxiety leads to cognitive, physical, and emotional problems, hindering students' ability to understand and extract information from texts, which significantly affects their reading achievement. This research examined the correlation and influence between students' reading anxiety and reading comprehension achievement among eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Palembang. This study employed a quantitative, non-experimental research design utilizing a correlational approach. The study focused on eleventh-grade students from MAN 2 Palembang, with a sample of 102 students selected using convenience sampling. This study utilized the FLRAS Questionnaire, developed by Saito et al. (1999), and a reading test to gather data. The Pearson product-moment correlation was used with SPSS 26 to evaluate variable relationships. The findings indicated a moderate relationship between students' reading comprehension proficiency and reading anxiety level, with the correlation coefficient or R-value (0,522) higher than r-table (0,192). Furthermore, the findings suggested that students' reading anxiety substantially impacted their reading comprehension achievement, whose value (6,114) was higher than t-table(1,984)and sig. Value (0,000) was lower than probability (0,05). It could be proved that different levels of reading anxiety had a significant correlation to the student's reading comprehension achievement. The study revealed text features as the primary cause of students' foreign language reading anxiety, offering potential pedagogical benefits for future research and students.

Abstract

Socioeconomic status (SES) is often assumed to influence students’ academic achievement, including reading proficiency. However, students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds may still struggle with reading performance. This study aimed to examine the correlation between SES and reading proficiency among sixth-semester students in the English Education Study Program at UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. A quantitative correlational method was employed, using an SES questionnaire and a TOEFL-based reading proficiency test. The results showed that most participants came from middle-class families, yet their reading proficiency was generally low. Statistical analysis revealed no significant correlation between SES and reading proficiency (r = -0.18, p = 0.857). These findings suggest that SES alone may not adequately predict students’ reading performance, highlighting the importance of other factors such as reading motivation, metacognitive awareness, and academic support.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: E-Learning Madrasah is one of the web-based learning tools used by teachers in Madrasah due to its flexibility. However, preliminary study found that some teachers encountered challenges in using it. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate EFL teachers’ challenges on the use of E-Learning Madrasah in MAN 1 Pangkalan Balai, Banyuasin. One of the qualitative approach, case study design was applied with two teachers of English as the participants by using purposeful sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used and analyzed by using thematic analysis. This study revealed EFL teachers' challenges in using E-learning Madrasah, such as: (1) EFL teachers' capability in managing the web (E-learning Madrasah), (2) web management, (3) limited Connection, (4) technical issues, (5) pedagogical matters, and (6) lack of motivation in using web due to the school system. This study implied that more development on the web, internet connection, and training for teachers are required to be improved. Keywords: E-learning madrasah, teachers’ challenges

Abstract

Although online English language learning has been widely praised for its flexibility and accessibility, its effectiveness in developing speaking skills—where learner autonomy is essential—remains underexplored. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a sudden shift to online formats, exposing significant challenges in how learners independently manage speaking practice. This qualitative study investigated the impact of online learning environments on learner autonomy in speaking classes. Data were collected through purposive sampling from two lecturers and twelve students at two state universities in Palembang, Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in self-directed learning behavior. Analysis revealed five key barriers to learner autonomy in online speaking courses: (1) lack of goal-setting, (2) poor time management, (3) absence of structured study plans, (4) limited application of communication strategies during speaking tasks, and (5) minimal use of available learning resources. These interconnected issues suggest that current online formats fall short in supporting the autonomous development of speaking skills. The findings underscore the limitations of fully online learning in fostering autonomous language development, particularly in speaking. Learners often struggle without structured support and direct interaction. To enhance learner autonomy in speaking classes, a blended learning model is recommended. By integrating the flexibility of online tools with the engagement of face-to-face instruction, this approach provides a more supportive and balanced environment for autonomous learning.
