Abstract

This research investigated the issues and causes of writing anxiety among EFL secondary school students in Indonesia. There are 15 EFL secondary students in Indonesia participated in this research. The research instruments applied were a questionnaire and an interview. The data was analyzed by using four procedures: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The researcher finds that the majority of anxiety of secondary students’ is cognitive anxiety. Data showed in data reduction that thirteen of the interviewees have cognitive anxiety in writing class and two more have somatic anxiety and cognitive anxiety. The factors that cause cognitive anxiety are the students' confusion, difficulty, and less interest in writing class. Students who have cognitive anxiety claim that they have difficulties in grammar and vocabulary. Then, students who also indicated somatic anxiety is caused by less confidence in their paper, have a negative perception that if they make a mistake in their paper, such as being wrong in word, phrase or paragraph arrangement. So, it can be concluded that most of the students had anxiety in writing then they need more practice to build their confidence in the writing class.

Abstract

The selection of appropriate learning media can enhance students' academic performance. YouTube, as the largest video-sharing platform in the world, can serve as an effective alternative learning medium. This research aims to explore students' perceptions of using YouTube as a learning resource to improve English vocabulary skills. Students often feel bored with monotonous teaching methods, making audiovisual media an appealing solution. The study was conducted at a high school in Rogojampi with eleventh-grade students, employing a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews to facilitate analysis. The results indicate that students responded positively to the use of YouTube in English learning, particularly in vocabulary enhancement. Students felt more interested and motivated due to the varied and visually engaging educational videos, and they recommended YouTube as a medium for learning English.

Abstract

This study investigates how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation affect the reading performance of third-grade EFL students at Al Kautsar Putra Secondary School. Using a qualitative approach, data were gathered from questionnaires, interviews, and academic records. The questionnaire, with "agree" or "disagree" options, assessed students’ motivation toward reading English texts. Ten randomly chosen students also participated in interviews. Findings showed that 70% were mainly influenced by extrinsic factors such as grades, rewards, and teacher expectations. However, some students demonstrated intrinsic motivation, enjoying the reading process and feeling satisfied when understanding texts independently. Interview data revealed a mix of motivations, with peer and teacher support playing key roles. Institutional support, such as structured activities and social reinforcement, was found to significantly boost motivation and reading growth. These supports also improved students’ confidence in speaking English. Consistent academic progress in reading scores from Grade 7 to Grade 9 further confirmed that motivation, supported by continuous instruction, positively impacts language learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores junior high school students’ perceptions and experiences regarding the use of digital storytelling in English reading instruction, specifically in the context of descriptive texts. The primary aim is to examine how digital storytelling affects students’ reading comprehension, motivation, and engagement. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were gathered through Likert-scale questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving 15 eighth-grade students from SMP Muhammadiyah 7 Sempu. Thematic analysis supported by triangulation revealed that over 69.70% of respondents expressed positive or neutral views toward digital storytelling, based on responses to 16 questionnaire items. In addition, data from 10 interview questions indicated that multimedia elements like images and audio significantly improved students' understanding and memory retention, while also boosting their motivation and interest in reading. Although some students reported challenges with vocabulary and reading confidence, the majority expressed a preference for digital storytelling over conventional approaches. These findings suggest that digital storytelling holds strong potential as an effective and engaging instructional method for enhancing reading literacy in EFL settings.

Abstract

In recent years, educational technology has transformed how students develop academic writing skills. Digital tools not only improve efficiency but also enhance learning through interactive and adaptive feedback. Among these innovations, artificial intelligence–based writing assistants provide immediate feedback, linguistic accuracy, and stylistic improvement. Grammarly, in particular, has gained attention in higher education for its accessibility, user-friendly interface, and ability to address grammar, vocabulary, and coherence. Its widespread use among non-native English-speaking students underscores the need to understand how learners perceive and utilize such tools.This study examines English Education students’ perceptions of Grammarly at Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Banyuwangi as a tool to enhance academic writing. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and purposive sampling, ten students participated in semi-structured interviews. The research explored usage frequency, perceived benefits, and limitations.Results indicate that students generally view Grammarly positively, especially for improving grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Features like real-time feedback, tone detection, and clarity suggestions are valued for aiding learning. However, concerns include occasional contextual inaccuracies and the risk of overreliance, potentially reducing self-editing and critical thinking skills.The study concludes that Grammarly should supplement, not replace, teacher feedback or manual revision, and recommends further research on its long-term impact and integration with other writing resources.
