Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the type of student speaking anxiety that predominantly occurs in English classes and to determine the factors of speaking anxiety faced by third-year students of SMPN 9 Parepare. The design of this study is descriptive qualitative. This study used questionnaires to determine the type of student speaking anxiety that was dominant in English classes totaling 35 students, then used interviews to determine the factors of student speaking anxiety in English classes by selecting a sample of 7 students from each class. Samples are taken using random sampling. The data analysis technique used is qualitative data analysis consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study showed that the dominant types of students' speaking anxiety were (1) Communication Apprehension with a score of 1173, (2) Test Anxiety scored 1630, and (3) Fear of Negative Evaluation scored 745. This means that most students worry about failing the speaking test and they still feel worried even though they have prepared well for speaking classes. They also still feel less confident with their appearance in front of the class because of their language competence. The factors of speech anxiety faced by students are influenced by four factors, namely cognitive, psychological, social, and physical factors

Abstract

This study explores the impact of integrating the Quizizz gamification platform with Bloom’s Taxonomy to improve the English grammar of third-semester maritime cadets at AMI AIPI Makassar. Employing a quasi-experimental mixed-method design, the research involved 43 students, divided into an experimental group (Nautika, n = 22) and a control group (Teknika, n = 21). Over six instructional sessions, the experimental group engaged with grammar activities designed according to Bloom’s cognitive levels using the Quizizz application, while the control group received conventional instruction. The results demonstrated a statistically significant enhancement in the grammar proficiency of the experimental group, which achieved a mean post-test score of 82.5 (SD = 5.8), notably higher than the control group’s 70.2 (SD = 5.5). Statistical analyses using paired and independent t-tests confirmed this difference as highly significant (p < 0.001). Furthermore, student feedback collected through perception questionnaires indicated strong engagement and positive attitudes toward the gamified approach, especially appreciating features such as leaderboards and real-time feedback. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of integrating gamification with a structured cognitive framework such as Bloom's Taxonomy to enhance linguistic competence and student motivation in the context of English.
