Abstract

This study aimed to determine the types of errors found in writing recount texts at SMA Negeri 3 Pangkep and to identify the most frequently occurring errors when students write recount texts at SMA Negeri 3 Pangkep. The researchers used a mixed-method approach, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The population in this study comprised class XI students, which consisted of six classes: XI IPA 1 (32 students), XI IPA 2 (31 students), XI IPA 3 (32 students), XI IPA 4 (30 students), XI IPS 1 (35 students), and XI IPS 2 (32 students). The total number of students was 192. Sampling was done using a purposive sampling technique, and the sample in this study was students from class XI IPA 1, consisting of 32 students. The results of this study, referring to the classification by Betty S. Azar, showed that the total number of errors was 370. The two most frequent types of errors were verb tense errors, with 73 errors (16% of the total), followed by word choice errors, with 38 errors (13.9% of the total).

Abstract

Taglines are widely used in environmental media campaigns and appear in various formats such as posters, flyers, and tote bags. Despite their prevalence in Indonesia, public awareness of environmental protection remains limited. This study investigates the use of English in environmental campaign taglines, focusing on how these taglines are perceived by the public and their effectiveness in influencing environmentally conscious behavior. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 participants across three public locations. Thematic analysis revealed that participants’ perceptions of English-language environmental taglines are shaped by emotional connection, cultural relevance, and language accessibility. English is often appreciated for its clarity, simplicity, and global resonance, but local languages are perceived to offer stronger emotional and cultural connections. Most participants found that English taglines increased awareness, and in some cases motivated behavioral changes, such as reducing plastic use. However, linguistic barriers and cultural disconnect were also noted, particularly among individuals less familiar with English. These findings suggest that while English taglines can effectively promote environmental awareness, their success depends on balancing global appeal with cultural and linguistic sensitivity to local audiences.

Abstract

Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is a widespread form of social anxiety that can significantly hinder students’ oral performance. This study investigates the relationship between glossophobia and students’ learning styles in the context of classroom speech activities. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data gathered through the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS) and the Barsch Learning Style Inventory with qualitative insights obtained from classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. A total of 41 senior high school students participated in the initial survey, from which 13 individuals identified with moderate to high anxiety levels were purposively selected for in-depth analysis. The findings reveal that visual learners exhibit higher levels of speech-related anxiety compared to other learning style types. These results suggest a potential correlation between learning style preferences and students’ susceptibility to glossophobia. The study emphasizes the pedagogical importance of tailoring instructional strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles as a means of mitigating public speaking anxiety in educational settings.
