Abstract

This study examines the speaking anxiety level and the employment of affective language learning strategies among English Applied Linguistics students in Medan, including the relationship between the two aforementioned variables. The research data were collected by administering a set of questionnaire encompassing 11 items assessing the comprehension apprehension factor and 6 items assessing fear of negative evaluation factor which were adopted from Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scales and also 6 items assessing the affective language strategies. There were 60 students of English Applied Linguistics participated in the study, comprising of 16 male students and 44 female students. This study found that the level of the speaking anxiety of the respondents was generally moderate, with the level of comprehension apprehension factor and the fear of evaluation were also moderate. The results suggest that the respondents in the present study moderately employed the affective language learning strategies in English medium classes. This study also found that students’ speaking anxiety level is negatively correlated with the involvement of affective language learning strategies in the process of language learning.

Abstract

Greater access to learning sources resulting from the advancement of the Internet and information technology helps students regulate their learning habits and achieve specific learning targets, including English language learning. This study analyzed English self-efficacy and technology-assisted self-regulated learning strategies among undergraduate students and how the two variables correlate. A total of 510 undergraduate students at Sam Ratulangi University, Indonesia, participated in the study. Two sets of questionnaires, including the Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy (QESE) and the Technology-Based Self-Regulated Learning Strategy Questionnaire (TSRLQ), were administered in data collection. The data analyses included descriptive statistics and bivariate Pearson correlation calculations. This study found a heterogeneous profile of English self-efficacy and technology-assisted SRL. Meanwhile, the Pearson correlation calculation results revealed that English self-efficacy was significantly correlated with technology-assisted SRL in a positive direction. Thus, this study suggests that more efficacious students are more likely to apply technology-assisted SRL in their English language learning.

Abstract

This research, entitled “The Use of Metaphors in Album Poems, Prayers and Promises by John Denver” aims to identify, classify, and analysis the metaphorical expressions embedded in the lyrics. Guided by Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) conceptual metaphor theory—structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors—the research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, using twelve songs from the album as primary data. The findings reveal a consistent and meaningful application of metaphorical language that transforms abstract ideas including time, memory, and emotion into more tangible concepts, enhancing lyrical depth and emotional resonance. The study concludes that metaphor in Denver’s songwriting is not merely decorative but serves as a cognitive tool that shapes understanding and strengthens the connection between artistic expression and human experience, thereby contributing to broader discussions in semantic and cognitive linguistic research.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has provided new opportunities to support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing development. One AI-based tool that has gained significant attention is ChatGPT, which offers immediate feedback, idea generation, and language support throughout the writing process. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions regarding the use of ChatGPT to improve English writing skills, with particular attention to its benefits, challenges, and the strategies employed by students when using the tool. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. Data were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with six undergraduate students from the English Department of Sam Ratulangi University, Manado, who had experience using ChatGPT in academic writing contexts. The interview data were analyzed thematically following Creswell’s qualitative data analysis procedures. The findings indicate that students generally perceive ChatGPT as a useful writing support tool, especially for improving grammar and tense accuracy, assisting academic sentence construction, supporting idea generation, and functioning as an independent learning resource. However, students also reported several challenges, including limitations in output quality, increased writing complexity due to repeated revisions, and the risk of psychological dependence that may affect independent writing ability. To address these challenges, students applied strategies such as paraphrasing AI-generated text, refining prompts, selecting essential ideas, and maintaining control over drafting and revision processes. In conclusion, ChatGPT can effectively support EFL writing development when used critically and strategically. Therefore, guided and balanced integration of AI tools is recommended to enhance learning while preserving students’ writing autonomy.
