Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of anxiety on English language learning achievements among high school students. It identifies anxiety as a significant emotional condition that can either hinder or motivate language acquisition. The study focuses on 11th-grade students at SMAN 106 Jakarta and examines various factors contributing to anxiety, including internal elements such as perception, personality, and intelligence, as well as external factors like motivation, classroom environment, and cognitive characteristics. The research highlights that anxiety can lead to feelings of restlessness, frustration, self-doubt, and tension. This emotional state often results in fear of negative evaluation, nervousness about making mistakes, and concerns about others' language abilities. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research approach, the study employs questionnaires and in-depth interviews to collect data from students. Findings suggest that anxiety is a multifaceted issue, with students experiencing anxiety due to a range of factors including fear of criticism, judgment, and low grades. The research aims to provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by high school students and emphasize the need for tailored interventions and support mechanisms to help manage and alleviate anxiety. This understanding is intended to assist both teachers and students in addressing and overcoming the barriers posed by anxiety in language learning.

Abstract

This training aims to enhance the creativity of English language teachers in teaching speaking skills through approaches based on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), as well as the utilization of available technology. The activity was conducted over two days with lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice sessions. The first day focused on theory and discussions regarding creative and relevant speaking teaching techniques, while the second day provided participants with the opportunity to practice the speaking activities they had designed. The results of the training showed a significant improvement in teachers' creativity in designing more varied and engaging speaking activities. Participants also realized that creativity in teaching does not always depend on advanced technology but can be maximized by utilizing available resources in the school environment. Additionally, they gained important insights on how to overcome resource limitations with creative ideas that can be applied in their classrooms. However, some challenges were identified, particularly in the application of technology and the adaptation of new methods in diverse classroom contexts. This training is expected to contribute to the development of more creative and effective English language teaching.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of implementing the project values of strengthening the Pancasila student profile in one of the private high schools in Jakarta. The method used is observation, namely through direct observation of the research object accompanied by interviews to collect data more comprehensively. The results of the study show that the values of the Pancasila student profile have been implemented intensively at SMA Muhammadiyah 18 Jakarta. The profile of faith, piety to God Almighty and noble character is implemented through the activities of carrying out congregational prayers, reciting and studying the Al Quran. The global diversity profile is implemented through discussions and studies of various foreign cultures. The mutual cooperation profile is implemented through community service activities, group discussions, and the preparation of the OSIS work program. The independent profile is implemented through completing daily assignments, administering exams, and returning and tidying up books in the library. The creative profile is implemented by cultivating students to create new things, carrying out entrepreneurial activities in the form of selling cakes during recess, turning used goods into art, and helping UMKM part time. Critical reasoning is implemented through activities to accustom students to asking questions in class, discussing, giving arguments on the problems posed, criticizing and respecting differences of opinion. The results of this study can be used as a model in implementing Pancasila student profiles in high school.
