The error analysis included identification, description and explanation errors. The grammatical error types were categorized into errors of overgeneralization, transfer, and simplification by omission. The result indicated that the errors made by the students were mostly in simplification by omission (60 times) followed by overgeneralization (35 times) and transfers (7 times). Those errors were caused by interference of mother tongue and learning strategies which are false analogy, incomplete rule application, and overlooking co-occurrence.

Online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic that has been going on for more than 4 semesters or 2 years in Indonesia might have made students feel no longer motivated to participate in online meetings. Problems with the internet and technology, heavy workload, as well as lack of student-student and student-teacher interactions have become the main reasons for students feeling demotivated as revealed by previous studies. This research was to examine the motivation of college students in STBA LIA Yogyakarta in participating in online learning on Zoom and to investigate the reasons that might demotivate them to join Zoom meetings. Questionnaires and a forum group discussion (FGD) were carried out to collect data. Descriptive analytical method was then used to analyze their responses to questions concerning motivation in the survey, and a cross tabulation analysis was to analyze the relationship between students who were demotivated and the reasons why they were less motivated towards Zoom meetings. The results indicated that most of the respondents were still motivated to take online lectures. Yet, such reasons as problems with the internet connectivity, the lecturers, and the classmates also contributed to make students less motivated.

The Covid-19 outbreak has forced students to study from home and switched from offline learning to online learning. This study inquired about the preferences and opinions of language school students majoring in English towards online and offline learning. The students filled out a questionnaire at the end of the second semester of their fully online classes. The results indicate that they preferred the combination of online and offline learning and favored face-to-face more than online learning when they worked in groups. They also tended to prefer offline classes to learn the productive skill of speaking. The receptive skill of listening was deemed to be best taken online. Offline classes were still considered to be easier to complete and help them perform better than online classes which they thought to have lower course depth and quality and more difficult tests and activities.

The lecturer supported the students exactly whenever they needed it. The online learning at the language school, which combined Google Classroom and Zoom Meetings, could make the learning process more optimal. However, the effect of online learning for Speaking class on the students’ outcomes could be not very satisfying.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has affected human life in various aspects. Study and work in the year of 2020 to 2021 had to be done fully online. This condition has pushed people to improve their digital skills so that they could continue working, learning, and communicating efficiently and effectively in any situation. Digital capability should indeed be developed because it has become a requirement for any endeavor in the future. Students have been among those whose digital skills must be upgraded. The pandemic has forced them to increase their digital capabilities. This research was conducted to determine digital literacy of STBA LIA Yogyakarta students pre- and post-the Covid-19 pandemic. Ninety (90) students filled out a survey concerning their digital skills before and after the pandemic. This quantitative descriptive research was to see the increase in the 5 elements of student digital capabilities as proposed by JISC. The findings showed that students' abilities in the five elements have improved quite a lot. The number of students with ‘good; and ‘very good’ abilities increased and the number of students with ‘weak’ and ‘very weak’ abilities decreased. Students with ‘good’ and ‘very good’ abilities after the pandemic were evenly distributed across four elements. A slight increase was indicated in the digital creation, problem solving and innovation abilities, albeit still in the ‘average’ category both before and after the pandemic.

This research was to find out patterns of speaking English activities among Indonesian learners of English. This is to find out their lacks, needs, and wants regarding out-of-class English activities to improve their speaking English proficiency when in an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) context like Indonesia. As many as 107 respondents of college students of English of 4 universities in Indonesia participated in this research by responding to closed and open items provided in questionnaires. After a deep descriptive qualitative analysis, results show that most respondents perceived that they lacks peaking skills amongst other English skills. They lack chances to speak the language. They wanted to have ample extramural activities to practice speaking English. They needed to be “forced” to venture to speak English when outside classroom. In conclusion, there is a discrepancy (lacks) between the ideal proficiency that they perceived and the current level of speaking skills. They need to be provided with learning policies to provide them with chances events or venues to practice speaking English. Extramural speaking activities need to be explored and then written into a school policy so that students will not only speak English when in class but also when outside classes. Participatory-yet-mandatory extramural English activities need to be promoted.

This research investigated English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ familiarity with AI tools, the frequency of use, the purpose of use, and the perceived benefits of the tools in EFL learning. Undergraduate and Diploma 3 students batch 2020-2023 of a private English language college in Yogyakarta, Indonesia were asked to respond to a questionnaire surveying AI tools they are using in their EFL learning and the applications. Among the 34 AI tools mentioned in the questionnaire, Google Translate, Chat GPT, Grammarly, Canva, Quizziz, and Voice Generator were the most frequently used by the majority of the respondents. The respondents reported using AI tools in their EFL learning sometimes rather than always. Most of them sometimes used the tools for brainstorming, writing support, personalized and immediate English learning support, searching research references, analysis support, multi-media support, and audio support. The majority, however, reported never using the tools for audio multi-media support. Overall, a significant number respondents reported that AI Tools is beneficial because it helps them learn English, enhance their depth of thinking and understanding, and improve their grammar. As for generations, generation Z generally used AI tools to generate ideas, writing support, analysis support, and visual multi-media support. The Millennial often used AI for personalized and immediate English learning, searching research references, and audio multi-media support. In addition, the respondents greatly benefited from AI as AI helped improve their English skills, depth of thinking and understanding, and grammatical skills.

This descriptive qualitative research examined the anxiety of students majoring in English literature when giving an oral presentation in English. The fifth and seventh semester students were the subjects of research. Observations, interviews, and questionnaires were used to identify factors causing anxiety among the students in their oral presentations in class and to study their strategies to overcome anxiety. The results reveal that fear of making mistakes, shyness, lack of self-confidence, lack of motivation, embarrassment, limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, peer influence, lack of preparation, teacher's presence, and lack of experience were factors contributing to the students' anxiety. Anxiety was also influenced by the attitude of the class teacher, which can either boost students' confidence or reinforce their worry. To overcome their anxiety, the EFL students applied memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. Many students, particularly those who practiced, reflected on themselves, or asked for criticism, developed progressive confidence.
