<![CDATA[This research aims (1) to find out the internal factors that cause the students’ anxiety in English speaking classroom, and (2) to find out the external factors that cause the students’ anxiety in English speaking classroom. In this study, the researcher used a qualitative method with a case study approach. Three perceived-anxious students were selected as the subject of this research interview. The data were gathered through interviews and an observation checklist. The result of the study showed two factors, they are internal factors (fear of mistakes, shyness, lack of confidence, lack of motivation) and external factors (embarrassment, limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, friends or classmates, lack of preparation). These findings suggest that the teacher should be more aware of students’ anxiety to raise students’ motivation to speak up confidently and fluently in an English-speaking class. As such, teachers are urged to be fairly creative in devising better techniques that could encourage the students to speak more. Finally, teachers should also provide materials that contribute to students’ vocabularies and confidence, so that the students have a better performance in speaking English in the future.]]>

<![CDATA[This research analyzes the impact of watching YouTube videos created by native content creators on students’ English pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and confidence. The study investigates how exposure to authentic language use influences these key aspects of speaking. Using a qualitative case study with elements of descriptive research and phenomenology, data were collected through interviews and focus group discussions with five students from the English Education program who regularly engage with native content on YouTube. The findings suggest that consistent exposure to native speakers through YouTube videos significantly improves students' pronunciation accuracy and enhances their fluency in spontaneous speech. Additionally, participants reported a deeper understanding of conversational nuances and cultural references, which contributed to their overall confidence in English communication. This study highlights the effectiveness of YouTube as a self-directed learning tool and its potential to complement traditional language learning methods.]]>
