Abstract

Public speaking is one of the common issues in the EFL context but is not limited to the student teachers in Indonesia. To better understand this matter, 15 in-depth interviews and questionnaires were carried out among student teachers in a private university in Indonesia. The research integrates Byram’s model of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) to examine how knowledge, attitude, and skills of interpreting and navigating aspects of cultures influence English public speaking anxiety among them. The findings show that linguistic insecurities, fear of negative evaluation, and psychological stress are the predominant issues impacting students’ public speaking skills at the university level. In this sense, the study reveals that students’ intercultural communicative competence (ICC) plays a significant role in moderating their anxiety, where higher ICC correlates with lower anxiety levels. Psycholinguistic factors such as negative self-perception, lack of confidence, and concerns over cultural miscommunication also significantly contribute to the fear of English public speaking. The findings implicate that enhancing communication education with integrated ICC components and fostering supportive, culturally sensitive learning environments could mitigate this anxiety, potentially improving students’ English public speaking performance. Further research engaging a wider population is necessary for policy formulation, which might facilitate the culture learning in public speaking among students of all educational levels.

Abstract

Abstract Background. The waste problem at the village level is still a serious challenge, especially in areas with minimal infrastructure and public awareness, such as Sindangbarang Village. Although policies and regulations have been implemented through Kuningan Regent Regulation Number 46 of 2018, the effectiveness of law enforcement in waste management is still not optimal. Aims. This study aims to analyze the extent to which implementing the law can be an effective solution for waste management in the village. Methods. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach and data triangulation techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Result. The study's results indicate that various obstacles, such as the lack of waste management facilities, minimal community education, and limited budget and human resources, are the main obstacles to the policy's effectiveness. Conclusion. Strict law enforcement, ongoing education, and collaboration between institutions are needed to increase community participation and support sustainable waste management. Implementation. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening regulations and the community's active role in creating a clean and healthy village environment.
