Abstract

To date there have been a lot of currently emerging studies focusing on English speaking anxiety experienced by Indonesian university students. Nevertheless, particularly the studies have not investigated university students in Lampung region as the new context. This study aims to describe the level, attitude and perception, and the causes of speaking anxiety in English among university students in the Lampung context. Descriptive research combining quantitative and qualitative approach was performed to conduct this study. 64 new state university students from the English department were involved as participants in this study. A questionnaire and interview form related to speaking anxiety were used to collect the data whereby quantitative data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was analyzed via content analysis. Results of this study showed that students experienced low anxiety level when speaking English as a foreign language, but mostly they provided the perception that speaking ability was a trigger for anxiety. Even though students' positive attitude towards English used in the classroom was reflected, their speaking skill in English was negative. Additionally, some main sources such as the limited of vocabulary, self-confident, and speaking opportunity were the causes of speaking anxiety.

Abstract

Language anxiety has been recognized as a significant impediment to effective language acquisition, and music may affect this anxiety. This research investigates the correlation between musical tastes and language anxiety in introverted and extroverted EFL students. Data were acquired from 46 students using surveys utilizing a quantitative design. The Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) classified participants as introverts or extroverts, while an adapted Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) assessed language anxiety. The Study of Music Preferences (STOMP) questionnaire was employed to ascertain their favored music genres. SPSS was employed to analyze the data and investigate the correlation between musical preferences and language anxiety among introverted and extroverted students. The results demonstrate that both introverts and extroverts favor "Upbeat & Conventional" music, with no statistically significant relationship between personality traits and music preferences (p = 0.496). Moreover, whereas introverts displayed greater language anxiety than extroverts, this disparity was not statistically significant (p = 0.312). Additionally, the findings regarding musical preferences and anxiety levels suggest that while students may prefer certain genres, these choices do not significantly affect the anxiety encountered during language learning activities (p = 0.388). The research highlights the intricate interplay among personality, music, and anxiety, indicating that elements outside personality features may affect musical preferences and anxiety levels. The findings underscore the necessity of establishing supportive educational settings customized to individual requirements to improve language acquisition and alleviate anxiety. Additional investigation is advised to examine the intricate relationships among these variables.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the significant differences in written language production generated from two different types of tasks between low and high proficiency students. Data were collected from 30 low-proficiency and 30 high-proficiency tenth-grade students using two distinct task types, and analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA. The findings revealed statistically significant differences in the CAF (Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency) measures between the two proficiency groups across both task types. In Task 1, significant differences were found in accuracy and fluency, but not in complexity. In contrast, in Task 2 high and low proficiency students generated significant differences across all CAF aspects. These findings highlight the importance of aligning task complexity with learners' proficiency levels in Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to improve language learning outcomes and support more effective instructional design.

Abstract

This study investigates how task complexity affects students’ speaking performance based on their English proficiency levels. It was conducted at SMA N 9 Bandar Lampung in the 2024/2025 academic year with 31 eleventh-grade students, divided into low (n = 16) and high (n = 15) proficiency groups. Each student completed a simple and a complex speaking task. The tasks were based on task-based language teaching (TBLT) and aligned with the curriculum. Using Two-Way ANOVA, the results showed that both task complexity and proficiency level significantly influenced speaking performance (p<0.05). High proficiency students outperformed low proficiency students in all aspects: complexity (M = 3.85 vs. 2.97), accuracy (M = 4.12 vs. 3.21), and fluency (M = 4.08 vs. 3.05). A significant interaction was also found, meaning task complexity affected students differently depending on their proficiency. This study shows that speaking tasks should be adjusted to students’ proficiency levels to improve learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the Suggestopedia method in improving speaking skills, particularly in delivering recount texts. Suggestopedia is a language teaching method that emphasizes psychological comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment in the learning process through the use of music, games, and imaginative activities. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design involving 36 tenth-grade students from a Islamic Senior High School (MAN) in Bandar Lampung who had experienced learning through the Suggestopedia method. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale and semi-structured interviews to triangulate the findings. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were thematically interpreted. The findings revealed that students generally had positive perceptions of the method, with high average scores across all measured aspects: awareness (79.7%), past experience (82.3%), knowledge (82.4%), motivation (83.3%), and social interaction (82.1%). These results indicate that Suggestopedia was well-received, especially in boosting students’ enthusiasm and participation in speaking activities. Interview data supported these findings, highlighting increased comfort, self-confidence, and creativity in expressing personal experiences. The study concludes that Suggestopedia effectively fosters a relaxed and supportive learning environment, which reduces anxiety and encourages spontaneous speaking. However, its successful implementation requires teacher readiness and sensitivity to different learner preferences. Suggestopedia proves to be a promising alternative method for improving students’ speaking fluency and confidence in recount text delivery.
