Abstract

Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) encompasses feelings of fear, nervousness, and negative self-perceptions that can impede learners’ progress in acquiring a new language. Within the Indonesian educational landscape, where English is introduced as a foreign language, such anxiety presents a formidable obstacle to achieving language proficiency. This research explored the various types and intensities of foreign language anxiety experienced by eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 9 Pematangsiantar in their English learning journey. Employing descriptive qualitative approach, this research gathered data through surveys administered to eighth-grade students, complemented by classroom observations and open-ended student responses. The findings indicated that anxiety levels are most pronounced during speaking activities and examinations, primarily driven by limited vocabulary, apprehension about making mistakes, and classroom environment factors. The predominant manifestations of anxiety included communication apprehension and fear of negative evaluation, with many students expressing feelings of embarrassment and reluctance to actively participate. To cope, students resorted to strategies such as self-research, note-taking, and seeking help from peers; however, these methods tended to be simple and unstructured, limiting their effectiveness. The research underscored teachers’ role played in cultivating a supportive, non-threatening classroom atmosphere where students feel safe to practice English without fear of judgment. Ultimately, this research enriched understanding of foreign language anxiety within Indonesian educational context and provides valuable insights for teachers aiming to implement strategies that reduce anxiety and foster greater confidence among students in English learning.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, focusing on how internal and external factors influence their attitudes and language use. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 60 Grade XI students from SMA YP HKBP 1 Pematangsiantar. The questionnaire measured perceptions related to internal factors such as confidence, motivation, and learning processes, as well as external factors including family background, peer influence, and classroom environment. The results indicate that most students view code-switching positively, reporting increased confidence and motivation when integrating Indonesian within English communication. Additionally, code-switching was found to reduce anxiety and enhance their ability to express ideas effectively. Social influences, especially peer behavior and classroom size, significantly affected their use of code-switching. Conversely, family influence was less impactful. These findings highlight that code-switching serves as both a communicative strategy and a supportive pedagogical tool in EFL learning. The study recommends that educators embrace code-switching to foster a more inclusive and effective language learning environment, particularly in multilingual contexts where students face challenges in expressing themselves solely in English. This research contributes to the understanding of bilingual communication dynamics in EFL settings and provides insights for language teaching practices that accommodate students’ linguistic and cultural realities.
