Abstract

The most difficult ability to learn is speaking. Thus, it is essential to understand speaking psychological problems during the teaching and learning process. The researchers used a descriptive quantitative method to conduct this present study. The goal of this research was to gain in a deeper understanding about the types and underlying causes of students' psychological speaking problems among eighth-graders of MTs NW Sepit. There were twenty students taken as participants. Data then were collected through questionnaire and interview. The result of this research indicated that the students of MTs. NW Sepit faced the psychological problems in learning speaking. From the data gained in questionnaire and interview, speaking difficulties were most frequently caused by a lack of confidence (50%) followed by a lack of motivation (38, 46%) and nervousness (11, 53%), which was the least common. It was hoped that by putting this study into practice, students would become more fluent in English and experience less psychological speaking problems.

Abstract

The research purposes were to determine the students’ ability along with the barriers in writing report texts of the eleventh graders at MA NWDI Perian. This research adopted a mix method of sequential explanatory analysis (quantitative descriptive-qualitative).  The Instruments were written tests and interviews. Students were first asked to write report texts to determine their ability and then they were asked a series of questions related to the data results. Based on the results, the mean score was 52.19 and the passing grade for English was 70. This indicates that the participants’ ability in writing report texts is poor or below standard. There are five components that are assessed, and participants' ability levels in these five components are still relatively low. The percentages of each assessment were as follows: content 21%, organization 21%, vocabulary 18%, language 18%, and mechanic 22%. According to the results of qualitative data analysis, the barriers in writing report texts were content, organization, vocabulary, language, and mechanics. In addition to those students barriers, there are other factors that should be considered in writing tasks, such as motivation, lexicogrammar features, paragraph elements, or three main factors that influence students' writing skill, namely psychological, sociocultural and linguistic.  Furthermore, this study was conducted while the pandemic was still widespread and the interaction of teachers and students during the teaching and learning process were only conducted via virtual setting. This, of course, makes teachers less effective in delivering lessons, particularly in writing, which requires extensive practice, proofreading, discussion, and revision activities. In addition, factors such as space barriers and, in some cases, network restrictions and the use of unappropriate teaching methods or strategies, all have an impact on students' writing skills.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the factors contributing to students' challenges in undergraduate thesis writing within the English Education Study Program at Hamzanwadi University, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. It further explores the strategies students employ to overcome these challenges. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving 36 eighth-semester students as participants. Data were collected through a close-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to provide quantitative and qualitative insights. The findings indicate that psychological factors were the most significant challenge (78.72%), followed by sociocultural factors (16.51%) and linguistic factors (4.7%). To address these difficulties, students employed coping strategies, including identifying novel research topics and ideas through online books and journals, particularly from recent publications (within five years), and grounding their research in real-world issues. They also reviewed previous undergraduate theses, relevant literature, and methodological texts to strengthen their research framework. Additional measures included attending webinars on research methodology, enhancing internal and external motivation, engaging in intensive discussions with supervisors, and leveraging digital tools such as Grammarly and Quillbot for grammatical refinement and paraphrasing to ensure academic integrity. These findings offer valuable insights into the challenges of thesis writing and highlight practical strategies for students and educators to enhance the thesis-writing experience in higher education.

Abstract

Undergraduate thesis is the final task that must be submitted by students of the English Study Program at Hamzanwadi University as proof of their achievement in conducting scientific research. However, the process of writing an undergraduate thesis often causes anxiety since the students come from an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. This study aimed to analyze the level and types of anxiety. A descriptive quantitative approach was used in this study. The study involved 20 students as participants. The researchers distributed questionnaires to identify the students’ anxiety level and types of anxiety during the process of undergraduate thesis writing. According to the findings from the questionnaires, the students experienced a severe level of anxiety, with the dominant types being somatic anxiety, followed by cognitive anxiety and avoidance behaviour. Therefore, it is necessary to provide strategies to improve students’ competence and self-confidence so that they can produce a qualified final task.
