Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of Indonesian in reducing English speaking anxiety in junior high school students. The study was conducted at MTs Negeri 4 Sidoarjo in the 2024/2025 academic year, with a population of all eighth-grade students. The sample was determined purposively by nine students from class 8D representing three participation categories: active, shy, and passive. The instruments used were classroom observation and semi-structured interviews to explore students’ experiences regarding the use of Indonesian during English learning. Data were analyzed thematically through the stages of transcription, coding, categorization, and interpretation. The results showed that Indonesian has different functions for each group of students. Active students use it as a supporting tool to maintain fluency in speaking and increase confidence when having difficulty remembering English vocabulary. Shy students use it as a bridge when forgetting words or being unsure about constructing sentences, so they can remain engaged without withdrawing. Passive students rely heavily on Indonesian as a shield to reduce their fear of mistakes or ridicule, allowing them to participate, albeit with limited proficiency. These findings confirm that Indonesian is not a barrier, but rather a strategic resource that can help reduce anxiety, maintain engagement, and support the gradual improvement of speaking skills. Therefore, teachers are advised to implement a flexible and strategic bilingual approach to create a supportive classroom atmosphere, emphasize participation over perfection, and build students’ confidence in communicating in English.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the role of animated video design in English language learning by examining student experiences in junior high school classrooms. As educational technology continues to evolve, animated videos have become an increasingly popular tool to facilitate language acquisition. This research explores how specific design elements such as visuals, narrative flow, character development, and audio features influence students’ engagement, motivation, and cognitive processing. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving junior high school students. Findings indicate that well-crafted animated videos can create an immersive and stimulating learning environment that supports comprehension and retention of English language concepts. Additionally, students emphasized the significance of relatable characters and clear storylines in maintaining their interest and enhancing understanding. The study provides practical insights for educators and content creators aiming to optimize animated video design for effective language learning.
