Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the experience of trauma and the process of trauma recovery are represented in selected poems from the book Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify the depiction of trauma through Lucien Goldmann's (1977) Genetic Structuralism approach, and (2) examine the process of recovery from trauma based on Judith Herman's (2001) Trauma and Recovery theory. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative method and selected poems from the hurting and the healing section of Milk and Honey as primary data. The findings on the poems from the hurting section depict deep psychological trauma through fragmented language and minimalist style. Using Goldmann's genetic structuralism, the researcher found that the trauma depicted in the poems reflects not only personal suffering, but also the collective consciousness of women silenced by patriarchal structures. In addition, other findings show that the poems reflect the three main stages of trauma recovery proposed by Judith Herman: establishing a sense of safety, remembering and mourning, and reconnecting. These stages are found especially in some of the healing chapter poems, where characters express self-empowerment, healing, and emotional recovery after experiencing abuse, violence, and loss

Abstract

Language anxiety represents a significant barrier for English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in academic speaking tasks where performance pressure is elevated. This study aimed to identify the strategies second-semester English Literature students employed at Universitas Balikpapan to alleviate anxiety during academic speaking activities. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 20 purposively selected students who reported experiencing speaking anxiety. The interviews consisted of five key questions designed to elicit detailed descriptions of students’ experiences with language anxiety and their coping mechanisms. Thematic analysis revealed four main strategies consistently employed by students to manage language anxiety during academic speaking: preparation, relaxation, conviction, and resignation. Preparation emerged as a frequently reported strategy, wherein students meticulously practised their presentations, organized notes, and rehearsed vocabulary to build confidence (8 students). Relaxation techniques, including deep breathing, positive self-talk, and listening to music before presentations, were widely used to calm nerves (10 students). Conviction involved fostering a mindset of self-belief and positive affirmation, with students recognizing that mistakes are an integral part of learning (3 students). Lastly, some students adopted a strategy of resignation, accepting their anxiety but proceeding with the task regardless, often viewing it as a necessary challenge (2 students). These strategies varied according to individual coping styles and levels of self-efficacy. The findings underscore the importance of managing language anxiety to enhance academic speaking performance. The study recommends that educators cultivate supportive classroom environments and incorporate explicit anxiety-reduction techniques into speaking curricula. This research contributes novel insights by focusing specifically on anxiety management within academic speaking tasks, offering practical guidance for improving pedagogical approaches in EFL education. Future research could explore the long-term effectiveness of these strategies and the impact of instructor-led interventions on students’ anxiety management skills.

Abstract

The ability to speak confidently in English remains a major challenge for students in English as Foreign Language (EFL) contexts due to psychological barriers such as anxiety and low self-belief. While self-affirmation has been proposed as a promising strategy to enhance emotional resilience, its application in secondary EFL settings, particularly in non-Western cultures, remains underexplored. This qualitative phenomenological study investigates how students perceive the role of self-affirmation in managing speaking anxiety and enhancing speaking performance in an Indonesian Islamic high school. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with Grade 11 students and analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that students view self-affirmation as a tool for mental readiness, anxiety reduction, and confidence building—though not a substitute for speaking practice. Fear of social judgment emerged as a key anxiety trigger, and students demonstrated varying self-assessments of their performance. The study concludes that integrating affective strategies like self-affirmation can complement linguistic training and foster emotionally supportive EFL classrooms. This research offers context-specific insights into learner psychology and expands the use of self-affirmation beyond Western academic environments. Keywords: self-affirmation, speaking anxiety, speaking performance, EFL learners, qualitative research, phenomenology, Islamic

Abstract

This study explores the experiences of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in dealing with speaking anxiety during classroom presentations at IAIN Bone. Speaking anxiety is a common psychological phenomenon among language learners, particularly when required to speak in front of peers and lecturers. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving eight students enrolled in an English education program. The findings reveal that students experience anxiety in three major forms: psychological responses such as fear of negative evaluation, overthinking, and self-doubt; physiological reactions including trembling, sweating, dry throat, and increased heart rate; and behavioural manifestations such as avoidance, hesitation, reduced eye contact, and frequent pauses. Students reported that these symptoms significantly limited their ability to express ideas clearly and affected their fluency, confidence, and overall performance during presentations. Although the level and intensity of anxiety varied among participants, all students acknowledged that speaking anxiety had a negative influence on their oral performance. The study highlights the importance of recognizing students’ emotional experiences in EFL classroom practices and calls for the implementation of supportive teaching strategies to reduce anxiety and enhance speaking performance.

Abstract

Minat baca dan keterampilan membaca pemahaman Bahasa Inggris siswa di Indonesia masih menjadi tantangan utama, seperti yang tercermin dalam Rapor Pendidikan. Di MTsN 1 Makassar, pembelajaran membaca teridentifikasi masih didominasi oleh praktik intensive reading (membaca intensif) yang berfokus pada penyiapan ujian dan mengabaikan pembinaan minat baca. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk melatih guru-guru Bahasa Inggris MTsN 1 Makassar dalam merancang program Extensive Reading (ER) atau membaca ekstensif, yang dikelola melalui sinergi Project-Based Learning (PBL) dan Heutagogy. ER adalah fondasi untuk membangun kefasihan dan perolehan kosakata. Heutagogy menyediakan kerangka otonomi siswa (pilihan mandiri), dan PBL menyediakan kerangka asesmen yang otentik (respons kreatif terhadap bacaan). Metode kegiatan adalah pelatihan partisipatif dan lokakarya desain modul ajar. Hasil dievaluasi menggunakan pre-test dan post-test (pengetahuan) serta penilaian produk RPP/Modul Ajar (keterampilan). Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan guru secara signifikan, dengan nilai rata-rata post-test mencapai 82 (kategori Baik) dari nilai pre-test 35 (Sangat Kurang). Selain itu, 100% peserta berhasil merancang draf program ER semesteran yang mengintegrasikan ketiga komponen, dengan ide proyek populer seperti "Podcast Ulasan Buku" dan "Dinding Baca Digital". Pelatihan ini berhasil membekali guru dengan model pedagogis yang komprehensif untuk membina budaya literasi di madrasah.

Abstract

Film functions as a powerful cultural medium that communicates social values, identities, and ideologies through visual and narrative signs, making it an important site for examining representations of gender and motherhood in contemporary cinema. While previous studies on horror films have largely discussed maternal figures from feminist perspectives or idealized constructions of motherhood, less attention has been paid to the symbolic and ideological meanings that emerge when maternal identity intersects with monstrosity. This study analyzes how motherhood and monstrosity are constructed and interconnected in the character of Nadja in Blood Red Sky (2021) by applying Roland Barthes’s semiotic theory of denotation, connotation, and myth. We employed a qualitative descriptive method with purposive sampling, and examined selected key scenes through visual and narrative signs such as color symbolism, lighting, facial expressions, body movement, and cinematographic techniques. The findings show that motherhood is represented through emotional care, moral responsibility, and ultimate sacrifice, while monstrosity is framed as a transformative process driven by maternal necessity rather than as a purely destructive force. At the mythic level, the film naturalizes the ideology that maternal love can legitimize transformation, violence, and self-sacrifice, positioning the maternal body as a space where vulnerability and power coexist. This study offers a novel contribution by demonstrating that monstrosity in Blood Red Sky is not opposed to motherhood but becomes an integral part of it. These findings are significant for literary and film studies because they expand semiotic and feminist readings of maternal figures, showing how contemporary narratives reinterpret motherhood as a complex, ambivalent, and ideologically negotiated identity rather than a fixed or purely nurturing role.
