Abstract

Viewpoints toward writing as the most difficult skill to acquire in EFL setting provide myriad opportunities for students to experience writing anxiety. Also, gender roles in language learning utilize different expectations toward writing anxiety. The study aims at investigating whether there is significant difference in levels of writing anxiety on the basis of gender, 110 undergraduate students, 55 of each, and also what factor(s) are included. For the purposes of finding the significance, it was designed a ready-made 26-item questionnaire named FLCAS in Writing, using Likert-scale. The findings revealed that student’s sex was not significant variable in levels of writing anxiety by the test of significance (2-tailed) of .362 (p>0.05) in independent sample t-test, with insignificant mean difference of 2.145. It reported that male students felt higher levels of writing anxiety than females.

Abstract

Classroom activities are crucial in speaking courses as they significantly influence students' speaking abilities. It is imperative for lecturers to employ appropriate activities tailored to student needs. This study aims to investigate the classroom activities utilized by a lecturer in a "Speaking for Informal Interaction" class for first-semester students at the English Education Study Program of Sriwijaya University. This qualitative case study investigated the classroom activities employed by a lecturer in the "Speaking for Informal Interaction" class for first-semester students at the English Education Study Program of Sriwijaya University. Purposive sampling was utilized to select a sample comprising one lecturer and six students out of a total of thirty-three. Data collection methods included document analysis, observation, and interviews, followed by a three-step qualitative data analysis process: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The investigation revealed a variety of classroom activities structured into three stages, including 10 activities during the "whilst activities" phase: prepared talk, discussion, role-play, storytelling, brainstorming, interviews, describing pictures, reporting, communication games, and question and answer sessions. These activities were found to significantly enhance student engagement and comprehension in the speaking class. These results underscore the importance of varied and interactive classroom activities in language education, potentially informing curriculum design and teaching strategies not only in English education but also in language learning contexts worldwide. By embracing diverse pedagogical techniques, educators can better cater to students' learning needs, ultimately contributing to more effective and engaging language education globally.

Abstract

Technology use creates new insights to explore thoroughly online foreign language learning. This study aims to examine students’ anxiety in online classes under four research objectives. They are (1) to uncover students’ anxiety levels in online foreign language learning; (2) to investigate the effects of anxiety levels in online learning on students’ English achievement; (3) to reveal factors affecting student’s anxiety; and (4) to investigate students’ strategies to handle their anxiety in online learning. Questionnaires were distributed to 72 students from a public university in South Sumatra, Indonesia. In addition, a semi-structured interview was also administered. The data was described quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings show that most students felt a medium level of anxiety in online learning. The students did not significantly experience unusual levels of anxiety as they were accustomed to technology tools and found no problems with that. A negative correlation between students’ anxiety scale on online learning and their academic achievement was identified. Indirect feedback, minimum teacher-and-student presence, and the absence of eye contact could be the main factors of online learning failure. Peer intimidation and fear of speaking English might also be the sources of students’ anxiety in online learning. Students also stated that there are no specific ways to handle anxiety since it is viewed as an unstable foreign language learning factor, which can be changed based on the learning context. At last, it is expected that the result of the study can raise students’ awareness of how online class can reduce their anxiety.

The technology applies to support the success of language learning, for example, providing web-based learning, mobile-based learning, educational videos, stimulation, online learning platforms, and many more.  Learning attitude also determines to achieve the language learning goals. Then, the complexity of English writing causes the students’ denial to take English writing classes. This study aimed at finding out whether there was a significant correlation among ICT writing. Seventy-one students of the English Education Study Program got involved in this correlational study. The data were gained from primary and secondary sources; those are a 15-item ICT use questionnaire, a 20-item learning attitude questionnaire, and documentation of students’ writing. The findings reported that there was a significant correlation among the three variables statistically since the significant value was 0.006 (< 0.05). The value of adjusted r2 was 0.114 which means ICT use and learning attitude contributed 11.4 % to the students’ English academic paragraph writing.Key words: ICT, learning attitude, academic paragraph writing

Abstract

Teacher groups in Musi Banyuasin district have great potential in developing learning materials, in the form of leveled books. Their significant benefits in meeting students' reading needs according to their level of difficulty and understanding make leveled books an important product that can be created by classroom teachers. This book also has the potential to be a medium to increase students' awareness of global issues, including climate change, through the integration of relevant content in learning. For this reason, the service team from FKIP Sriwijaya University designed a program to facilitate the assistance and training activities needed. As the first step of the program, the service team conducted an initial exploration regarding the teacher participants' mastery of digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI). The method of the exploration activity was to distribute questionnaires that must be filled in by the participants. The result is that 59.1% of teachers understand the concept of leveled books and 63.6% of teachers use leveled books in the classroom. Unfortunately, 63.6% of teachers stated that they had never made leveled books for their class. Regarding the role of digital tools, teachers seem to be familiar with Canva and AI. The data shows that 81.8% of teachers often use Canva to create teaching materials. There are also other tools that are utilized, such as YouTube, ChatGPT, and YouTube. It can be concluded that, the process of mentoring and training for making tiered books is mandatory considering that teachers already have basic knowledge related to digital tools and AI.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of English songs, particularly within the RB soul pop genre, in improving their speaking ability. The research focuses on five key aspects of speaking: pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension of meaning, and psychological readiness to speak. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed, involving 59 sixth-semester students of the English Language Education Study Program at Sriwijaya University who had experience learning through songs. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and song-based assessments, including lyric completion, reading aloud, and question-and-answer activities related to the song's content. The findings revealed that most students held positive perceptions toward the use of English songs as a medium for speaking practice. Many reported improvements in pronunciation, vocabulary mastery, and fluency, while also highlighting reduced anxiety and increased motivation. However, some challenges were identified, such as difficulty in understanding fast-paced lyrics, unfamiliar accents, and cultural expressions. Overall, English songs proved to be an effective, interactive, and enjoyable learning tool for enhancing students’ speaking performance, provided they are supported by appropriate teaching strategies and sufficient instructional guidance.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of writer’s block on academic writing performance among English Education students at Sriwijaya University.Employing a mixed-methods approach with Sequential Explanatory design, the participants were 59 sixth-semester students enrolled in the Academic Writing course, selected purposively as they had prior experience with Paragraph Writing and Essay Writing. Quantitative data were collected using a writing test and writer’s block questionnaire (QIWB) by Mike Rose (1981), and analyzed using Spearman’s rho. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.023 and a significance value (p) of 0.865, indicating a very weak negative correlation that is not statistically significant. This result suggests that writer’s block does not meaningfully affect student’s academic writing performance, implying that it may be a minor factor compared to other influences such as language proficiency, time management, and motivation. Qualitative data were collected through open-ended questionnaires administered to 9 participants, selected purposively based on their writing test results (3 high achievers, 3 average, and 3 low achievers). The results showed that students still experienced writer’s block due to psychological pressure, lack of ideas, and overthinking, but they could overcome these challenges through peer support and self-regulation strategies. The study concludes that while writer’s block is present among students, its impact on academic writing performance is minimal, highlighting the importance of addressing broader cognitive and affective factors in writing instruction.
