Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to investigate the underlying causes of English-Speaking anxiety experienced by third-year English education students at Universitas Tanjungpura when presenting academically. A descriptive approach was employed to identify these factors based on the self-reported experiences of high-anxiety students. Seven participants were selected through a preliminary questionnaire and were subsequently interviewed to gather in-depth data. Frequency distribution analysis was conducted to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed three primary factors contributing to speaking anxiety: communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Of these, communication apprehension emerged as the most significant factor, exerting a substantial influence on students' anxiety levels. Test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation also played notable roles in contributing to overall anxiety. These results highlight the multifaceted nature of English-Speaking anxiety and underscore the need for targeted interventions to address these specific factors and support students in overcoming their fears and developing effective communication skills.

Abstract

This research intended to determine the components of the scientific approach included in learning activities of the English textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris "Think Globally Act Locally". This study also described the kind of learning activities of the book that apply the scientific approach. This study belongs to qualitative descriptive research; therefore, the writer used an observation checklist as a technique of data collection and content analysis as the tool of data analysis. The findings showed that the English textbook Bahasa Inggris: "Think Globally Act Locally" has 95 learning activities throughout all book chapters that included components of the scientific approach, including observing, questioning, experimenting, associating, and communicating activities. The findings also showed the repetition and similarity of instruction in learning activities, including Reflecting and Communicating activities, through eleven book chapters.

However, it still needs improvement to make the learning activities more varied, especially reflection and communication.
