Abstract

Anxiety is a common feeling among language learners. This research investigated the impacts of language learning anxiety on English as Foreign Language (EFL) students' speaking and writing abilities. Data were collected from 102 EFL college students, to whom questionnaires were distributed to assess students' performance. Speaking and reading tests were also conducted, followed by semi-structured interviews to confirm the findings from the quantitative phase. The analysis of variance revealed significant results for speaking and reading anxiety which confirmed previous findings stating that high levels of anxiety negatively affected students’ speaking ability, while reading anxiety could facilitate language learning. In addition, social factors weaken students’ speaking performance, but the opportunity to use reading strategies could improve reading task performance. The implications of the research for speaking and reading anxiety were also discussed in this study.

Abstract

Previous surveys on college academic reading often utilized questionnaires and lacked in-depth analysis to assess students' reading skills. This present study involving 80 students of Universitas Pahlawan assessed students’ academic reading skills using Correlation Test, Manova Test, and Duncan Test. In addition to examine the importance of these skills, this study also identified the need to have adequate academic reading skills. The gap between the pre-test and post-test signified the significant effects on reading skill, analysis and evaluation, reading strategies and efficiency, and influential factors. However, comprehension skills, linguistic discourse, and knowledge did not have a significant effect. Furthermore, this study also discusses the implications for researchers and for the practices of the course.

Abstract

Although the benefits of online peer assessment and peer feedback on writing performance have been demonstrated, many learners might not recognize or benefit from specific change responses. This study investigated the correlation between online peer assessment and peer feedback on student writing performance. The correlation test was employed to analyze the data in this study. This study involved 145 undergraduate students (75 females and 70 males) from the State University of Malang, where the English course is mandatory for all students. This study revealed that online peer assessment and peer feedback on students' writing performance had a significant and strong relationship. On the other hand, the differences between the online peer assessment and peer feedback variables in each group were insignificant. Peer assessment and online peer feedback might have a close relationship; they can help pupils enhance their writing skills. However, there were no significant variations in each group's online peer assessment and peer feedback factors.

Abstract

Due to its internationalization agenda, higher education institutions (HEI) in Indonesia adopted English as medium of instruction (EMI) programs despite the absence of a national policy document to regulate EMI. Studies on EMI policy in HEI focused on the effect policy could have on the dominant group and gave less highlight on EMI policy implementation management. This case study examined the management of EMI as language policy at the meso-(institutional) and micro-(classroom) levels. The data sources include the institutional policy document related to the EMI program, and interviews with seven EMI officers and seven EMI teachers at a Technological Institute in Indonesia. Using Spolsky's language management framework for the "sensitizing concept," the result of the thematic analysis of the data shows three major categories of EMI policy management: EMI classroom management mechanism, language-related mechanism, and incentivization mechanism. The EMI teachers practice EMI differently in the classroom. Three teachers used English only, while four teachers used multilingualism for content comprehension. The most highlighted managerial and teaching problems come from the students’ recruitment. Therefore, reflecting on the constrain due to the management, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education provide more concrete and practical guidance on EMI implementation in Indonesia.
