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.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which self-affirmation and speaking anxiety influence English oral performance among Indonesian EFL senior high school students. Employing a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, the research involved 30 eleventh-grade students from SMAIT Wahdah Islamiyah Makassar. Quantitative data were collected through validated questionnaires and speaking assessments, followed by in-depth interviews with five selected participants to gain qualitative insights. Multiple regression analysis indicated that neither self-affirmation nor speaking anxiety significantly predicted speaking performance, although anxiety demonstrated a marginally negative trend. Descriptive statistics showed wide variations in both psychological and performance measures. Meanwhile, qualitative findings revealed that self-affirmation contributed to mental readiness and reduced nervousness, while speaking anxiety often impaired fluency and focus during oral tasks. Thematic analysis emphasized that self-affirmation alone was insufficient to improve performance but played a meaningful emotional regulatory role when paired with consistent speaking practice. The study contributes to the limited body of research on psychological interventions in Indonesian EFL classrooms by offering empirical evidence and context-specific insights. It highlights that while self-affirmation may not yield immediate performance gains, its potential as an affective support mechanism remains valuable. This research fills a gap in current literature by exploring how self-affirmation operates in tandem with anxiety within a high-school EFL setting in Indonesia—a context underrepresented in previous studies.

Abstract

The implementation of English language learning at the elementary school level in Indonesia continues to face significant challenges. One widely proposed solution to address these challenges is the integration of digital technology into English language instruction. The Fun Digital Class program aims to introduce and enhance elementary students’ vocabulary acquisition at SD Inpres Cambaya IV Makassar. Through the use of the Duolingo application, this program provides an engaging and effective method for English vocabulary learning, helping students build a strong foundation in language learning while fostering a positive attitude toward foreign language acquisition, particularly English. This program was conducted over a period of two months and involved 20 students from grades 4 to 6 (aged 10–12 years) who participated in an extracurricular English language program titled Fun Digital Class. The participants were selected using purposive sampling, considering that they shared a similar basic proficiency level in English, which was generally categorized as low. The program was implemented in three phases: the Preparation Phase, the Implementation Phase, and the Evaluation Phase. During its execution, the program successfully stimulated students’ enthusiasm and motivation in learning English vocabulary. As a result, participants demonstrated improved comprehension and mastery of English vocabulary by the end of the program. Furthermore, the majority of students expressed enjoyment and gratitude for the implementation of this program at their school, as it provided them with an engaging and enjoyable English learning experience.

Abstract

This research aims to interpret romantic themes in Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love by revealing the meaning of love in the lyrics of the song. It employs a descriptive qualitative research design to identify and interpret the meaning of the song. The primary data of this research was obtained from Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love and secondary data from internet webs, journal articles, textbooks, and other online resources. The data was analyzed by using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis which consists of six steps: (a) familiarizing with the data; (b) generating initial codes; (c) searching for themes; (d) reviewing themes; (e) defining and naming themes; and (f) producing the report. The data was also interpreted by using Roland Barthes’ semiotic concept: denotation, connotation, and myth. The result of the research reveals that the song describes the author's feeling of being in accidental love when he does not know anything about love before. His feelings and experiences are associated with falling in love unexpectedly, including chaos, happiness, uncertainty, courage, hope, and magic. The meaning of his love in this song is an experience that is unexpected, full of excitement, and sometimes chaotic, but also provides deep meaning and happiness.

Abstract

Writing is a complicated psycholinguistic task that changes thoughts inside your head into ordered words. In EFL situations, this process necessitates meticulous coordination of cognitive and linguistic resources, frequently resulting in challenges in lexical retrieval, grammatical encoding, and idea development. This study examines the cognitive processing of language by students when they create imaginative texts inspired by visual stimuli. The study, based on Levelt’s (1999) Model of Language Production, examines the processes of conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self-monitoring in students’ writing. Thirty-five English Literature students from class B 2022 at Universitas Negeri Makassar took part in the creative writing exercise. Five students with the fewest errors and five students with the most errors were chosen for in-depth semi-structured interviews. The results show that students who do well have better conceptual planning and self-monitoring skills, while those who do poorly have trouble with formulation, especially with choosing words and structuring sentences. The study underscores the significance of psycholinguistic awareness in enhancing EFL creative writing training, focusing on tactics that bolster cognitive control and linguistic accuracy.

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

Speaking skill is one of the main components in English language learning that requires students’ courage and self-confidence. However, many senior high school students still face psychological barriers in expressing themselves orally. This community service program aimed to enhance students’ confidence in speaking through storytelling activities within the context of English language learning. The program was conducted at SMAN 8 Makassar and involved 23 students who were guided and mentored by a team from the Department of English, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Universitas Negeri Makassar, along with students participating in the Asistensi Mengajar Mandiri (AjarMi) program. The implementation method consisted of three stages: preparation, the storytelling workshop, and evaluation through observation and student reflection. The results of the program indicated a significant improvement in students’ self-confidence, speaking fluency, and expressive ability. This activity also demonstrated effective collaboration among the university, student teachers, and the school in promoting communicative and humanistic language learning.
