Abstract

The study addresses the gap in understanding high school exchange students' communication challenges in cross-cultural settings, focusing specifically on Indonesian students in the United States. Unlike existing literature that emphasizes higher education students, this research uniquely explores sociocultural adaptation at the high school level, particularly communication barriers that are often overlooked. Using purposive sampling, six high school students who completed a one-year exchange program in the U.S. were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews enabled a thematic analysis grounded in Braun and Clarke's framework, providing a nuanced view of the students' adaptation process. Findings reveal that participants encountered significant culture shock, stemming from differences in punctuality, etiquette, direct communication, and cultural norms such as part-time work, religious observances, and addressing teachers informally. Linguistic barriers, especially around vocabulary and pronunciation, were intensified by psychological factors like anxiety and self-doubt. Furthermore, non-verbal cues such as eye contact and personal space highlighted distinct communication expectations between Indonesian and American cultures. To navigate these challenges, students adopted coping strategies including assimilation of local customs, proactive communication, and community support. This study’s insights have broader implications for enhancing exchange programs by incorporating targeted support systems that address the communication and adaptation needs of younger students, potentially improving intercultural competence and easing the transition for future exchange participant.

Abstract

Taglines are widely used in environmental media campaigns and appear in various formats such as posters, flyers, and tote bags. Despite their prevalence in Indonesia, public awareness of environmental protection remains limited. This study investigates the use of English in environmental campaign taglines, focusing on how these taglines are perceived by the public and their effectiveness in influencing environmentally conscious behavior. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 participants across three public locations. Thematic analysis revealed that participants’ perceptions of English-language environmental taglines are shaped by emotional connection, cultural relevance, and language accessibility. English is often appreciated for its clarity, simplicity, and global resonance, but local languages are perceived to offer stronger emotional and cultural connections. Most participants found that English taglines increased awareness, and in some cases motivated behavioral changes, such as reducing plastic use. However, linguistic barriers and cultural disconnect were also noted, particularly among individuals less familiar with English. These findings suggest that while English taglines can effectively promote environmental awareness, their success depends on balancing global appeal with cultural and linguistic sensitivity to local audiences.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies used by English teachers to reduce students’ anxiety when speaking English in the classroom. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students at a junior high school. The findings reveal that students' speaking anxiety often stems from limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and low self-confidence. To address these challenges, teachers implemented various strategies, including role-play activities, the use of dictionaries and digital pronunciation tools, interactive games, and emotional support through motivational feedback. These approaches helped create a supportive and engaging learning environment, encouraging students to participate more actively and confidently in speaking tasks. By tailoring instructional strategies to students’ needs and classroom conditions, teachers were able to foster a more positive attitude toward learning English. This study highlights the crucial role of effective teaching practices in mitigating language learning anxiety and offers practical insights for improving English-speaking skills among junior high school learners.
