Abstract

The investigation that focuses on English language learning by adult starters at the workplace is very much challenging. Thus, this study attempted to elaborate whether emotion (self-confidence, motivation, or anxiety) correlates with teaching strategy (CBI, CLT, and TBLT) and English language performance. This study applied a combination of qualitative with phenomenology design and quantitative with analytic descriptive design to analyze the effect of emotion on teaching strategy. The population was 355 employees whose ages range from 25 to 30. this study involved 100 samples using a random sampling technique. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions concerning self-confidence, 15 questionnaires about motivation, and 15 questionnaires about anxiety. A performance test measured the student’s language competence. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics with SPSS 25, t-test, and Pearson Product Moment. The finding revealed that the emotion correlates positively either with the teaching strategy or with the learning achievement. The stronger the adult learners feel self-confidence and emotion, and less anxiety the more effective the CBI, CLT, TBLT can encourage their language performance. The factors that make emotion correlate more positively with language performance are (1) the demands of better achievements, (2) self-responsibility, and (3) teaching strategy.

Abstract

More evidence is needed to determine if English language sounds are influenced by Balinese EFL students. Therefore, this study attempted to examine the dominance of tonal systems in English and Balinese using dual-coding theory. This study used a qualitative approach to describe the English language of Balinese-speaking students as a segmental category. This study included 76 English students from Denpasar. The instruments consisted of a 65 English word list, a picture list, and ten sentences. The articulatory phonetic and referential techniques were used to classify each data set. Accordingly, the students activated the English system more independently but managed to translate it phonetically into Balinese. The phonetic translation, on the other hand, can be pure English, mixed Balinese, and English, or simply pure Balinese. This tendency is influenced by students' phonological awareness, learning experience, and daily practice. According to the results of this study, the four levels of English pronunciation by students are transcription, perception, phonological process, and phonetic translation. At the level of perception, the Balinese sound system is activated in English. This study suggests that English learners and teachers in Bali should use explicit learning to reduce pronunciation errors.
