Abstract

This study investigates the strategies used by junior high school students to overcome difficulties in speaking English. Through qualitative interviews with twelve eighth-grade students at a junior high school in Bandung, this research identifies common strategies employed by students to address these challenges. The strategies include preparation before speaking, expanding vocabulary through music, reading English texts, studying grammar, and integrating information and communication technology (ICT) tools like Duolingo. The findings suggest that preparation helps students organize thoughts and reduce anxiety, while vocabulary expansion and grammar study are key for effective communication. ICT, particularly Duolingo, plays a significant role in enhancing speaking skills by providing interactive and engaging platforms for practice. These results inferred that educators can use these insights to adopt more effective teaching methods, while students can apply these strategies to boost their confidence and speaking abilities.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between students’ speaking confidence and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA) among Indonesian university EFL learners. While previous studies have often investigated confidence and anxiety separately, limited research has explored their relationship at the tertiary level in the Indonesian context using a mixed-methods approach. To address this gap, the study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN ? qual). The participants were 24 English Education students selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were collected using a speaking confidence questionnaire and the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), which demonstrated acceptable to excellent reliability (? = .704 for the FLCAS and ? = .933 for the confidence scale). Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were conducted, followed by semi-structured interviews to confirm the questionnaire results. The findings showed that most students reported high speaking confidence while experiencing moderate classroom anxiety. Correlation analysis revealed a strong and significant negative relationship between confidence and anxiety (r = –0.657, p < .05), indicating that higher confidence was associated with lower anxiety levels. Interview data were consistent with the quantitative findings and confirmed students’ self-reported levels of confidence and anxiety. These results suggest that confidence and anxiety coexist in EFL speaking contexts rather than functioning as opposing states. Pedagogically, the study underscores the need for confidence-building speaking tasks and supportive classroom practices to help learners manage anxiety and sustain oral communication.

Abstract

With the establishment of the Merdeka Curriculum, education in Indonesia is stepping into a new chapter, aiming to place students at the center of the learning process, encourage differentiated instruction, and strengthen essential 21st-century skills. Despite its promising vision, most existing studies focus mainly on descriptive accounts of policy implementation, offering little empirical evidence on how curriculum implementation relates to learning outcomes remains limited, particularly in senior high school English classes. This study addresses that gap by applying the CIPP evaluation model to explore the relationships among Context, Input, Process, and Product components. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from students and teachers in four senior high schools in Kabupaten Bandung through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that, among the three components, process exhibits the strongest relationship with product, followed by input and context. Qualitative findings further indicated that effective classroom practices play a central role in supporting student learning. Overall, the results suggest that the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in English classes is closely related to supportive learning environments, adequate instructional resources, and well-managed teaching–learning processes.
