Reporting verbs are essential in academic writing because they help convey the writer's stance, attitude, and relationship with the reader, as highlighted in corpus-based research.

The study specifically focuses on the frequency of reporting verbs in journal articles published within the selected time period. A corpus of 316 articles from the Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics was used as a data for the analysis.

The results revealed that Discourse Acts were the most frequently used reporting verbs, followed by Research Acts and Cognition Acts. Within the Discourse Acts category, the "certainty" subcategory emerged as the most prevalent.

Abstract

Anxiety is a prevalent psychological factor that influences the learning process, particularly in language acquisition, where it can shape students’ confidence, engagement, and overall performance. In contexts where English is learned as a foreign language, anxiety is often linked to students' ability to navigate language learning challenges, affecting both their success and struggles in mastering the language. Understanding the extent of foreign language anxiety and its specific effects is essential, given its potential impact. This study investigates students’ anxiety levels, examines gender differences, and explores the relationship between anxiety and English achievement. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 105 students in Samarinda, Indonesia, using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCA) to measure anxiety and final semester scores to assess achievement. Data analysis using SPSS version 25 revealed that students experienced a high level of foreign language anxiety (M = 3.4459), with female students reporting slightly higher anxiety than males. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Correlation analysis showed a weak negative association (r = -.101, p = .306), suggesting that anxiety had little to no impact on achievement. These findings provide insights into foreign language anxiety in EFL contexts, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to create a more supportive learning environment and enhance language learning experiences.
