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 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

Abstract Recognizing the foundational impact of early literacy, this study investigates the impact of parental engagement in early literacy through storytelling, emphasizing how structured socialization sessions can enhance parents’ awareness, skills, and practices. The research was conducted during May 2025 at TK Islam Al-Furqan, Minasa Upa, Makassar, South Sulawesi, and involved 15 parents of preschool students, with an average of 12–14 attending each session. Over four consecutive Saturdays, parents participated in 90-minute sessions that introduced the importance of storytelling, demonstrated effective storytelling techniques, explored vocabulary and comprehension strategies, and encouraged collaboration between parents and teachers. Data were collected using FGDs and survey. Attendance data indicated consistently high participation, with an average rate of 83%. Survey results showed that 82% of parents strongly agreed that their understanding of storytelling’s role in literacy improved, 73% felt more confident in storytelling, and 64% had begun applying storytelling practices at home. Thematic analysis of FGD transcripts revealed that parents no longer viewed storytelling as merely entertainment but as an educational tool that enriched children’s vocabulary and comprehension, fostered emotional connection, and cultivated a love for reading. Parents also highlighted the value of consistent storytelling practices across home and school. The findings suggest that parental storytelling is a powerful strategy for fostering children’s literacy development and that structured socialization can empower parents to implement it effectively. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for collaboration between educators and parents in developing storytelling-based programs that provide sustainable benefits for preschool children’s literacy growth.
