Abstract

Despite years of English instruction, many Indonesian senior high school students remain hesitant to speak due to anxiety, fear of mistakes, and low self-efficacy. Speaking confidence is influenced by both internal factors, such as self-perception, motivation, and linguistic competence, and external factors, including teacher support, peer interaction, and classroom environment. This study aims to identify and analyze the internal and external determinants of students’ confidence in speaking English. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed to 25 eleventh-grade students at MA Sirnamiskin Bandung. Responses were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes. Findings reveal that psychological barriers—such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and fear of negative evaluation—significantly hinder students’ confidence. External elements, including supportive teacher feedback, peer encouragement, and school programs like English Day, were found to enhance confidence. Consistent practice through media exposure and real-life interactions also contributed positively. The study concludes that improving speaking confidence requires a holistic approach that addresses emotional, social, and experiential aspects of learning. These results provide practical implications for teachers and school administrators to design supportive and engaging speaking activities that foster students’ confidence in English communication.

Abstract

This study investigates English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' perceptions of QuillBot, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool supporting academic writing and paraphrasing. The study was carried out at Universitas Islam Nusantara, with active students from the English Education Department in the sixth and eighth semesters. The data was collected using a validated questionnaire with 11 items and a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.792. The data indicate that QuillBot is well liked for its time- saving features, accessibility, and psychological benefits such as increased self-confidence and reduced paraphrase anxiety. Over 80% of respondents reported increased comfort in using the tool, nearly 89% acknowledged time efficiency, and more than 88% agreed on its ease of use. Furthermore, QuillBot helped to increase vocabulary, sentence organization, and writing coherence. More than half of the participants plan to continue using QuillBot for their academic writing tasks.These findings emphasize the importance of integrating AI technology into English language instruction to effectively improve students' writing skills.
