Abstract

Public speaking is one of the common issues in the EFL context but is not limited to the student teachers in Indonesia. To better understand this matter, 15 in-depth interviews and questionnaires were carried out among student teachers in a private university in Indonesia. The research integrates Byram’s model of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) to examine how knowledge, attitude, and skills of interpreting and navigating aspects of cultures influence English public speaking anxiety among them. The findings show that linguistic insecurities, fear of negative evaluation, and psychological stress are the predominant issues impacting students’ public speaking skills at the university level. In this sense, the study reveals that students’ intercultural communicative competence (ICC) plays a significant role in moderating their anxiety, where higher ICC correlates with lower anxiety levels. Psycholinguistic factors such as negative self-perception, lack of confidence, and concerns over cultural miscommunication also significantly contribute to the fear of English public speaking. The findings implicate that enhancing communication education with integrated ICC components and fostering supportive, culturally sensitive learning environments could mitigate this anxiety, potentially improving students’ English public speaking performance. Further research engaging a wider population is necessary for policy formulation, which might facilitate the culture learning in public speaking among students of all educational levels.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how self-efficacy in intercultural communication was constructed by an Indonesian Ph.D. student in the United States through academic and social experiences. A narrative inquiry design was employed to capture lived experiences and meaning-making processes in intercultural adaptation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, self-recorded conversations, and researcher notes, with triangulation applied to ensure validity. Thematic analysis indicated that intercultural challenges, including communication barriers and cultural differences, were navigated through adaptive strategies, reflective practices, and support from academic and community networks. The findings suggest that self-efficacy is a dynamic process, strengthened through mastery experiences and social reinforcement. This study emphasizes the need for reflective learning opportunities and empathetic institutional support to enhance international students' intercultural competence.
