Abstract

In the era of globalization and digital transformation, mastering foreign languages, especially English, has become an essential skill in various aspects of life. This ability not only plays a role in cross-cultural communication, but also determines individual success in education, work, and global social interactions. English is now not just a subject, but a key tool in accessing information, building international relations, and participating in the global economy. However, behind the importance of mastering English, significant psychological challenges arise, namely social anxiety. Social anxiety is defined as excessive fear or nervousness in social situations, especially when speaking in front of other people. In the context of foreign language learning, social anxiety can manifest in the form of fear of making mistakes, fear of being evaluated, and worry about negative judgments from others. Recent studies show that individuals who have high levels of social anxiety tend to experience difficulties in speaking skills, even when they have a good command of grammar or vocabulary. This study aims to explore the relationship between social anxiety and English language skills among college students, specifically focusing on the correlation between anxiety and self-confidence in speaking a foreign language. Utilizing a quantitative survey design with 6 respondents from Gorontalo State University, the research collected data via online questionnaires and analyzed it using descriptive and Pearson correlation analysis. The main findings indicate a significant negative correlation (r = -0.56) between anxiety and self-confidence, suggesting that higher anxiety levels are associated with lower self-confidence in speaking English. This highlights the importance of addressing psychological factors, such as social anxiety, in English language education at the university level to foster more effective and holistic language learning strategies

Abstract

The phenomenon of populist rhetoric in Indonesian local politics demonstrates the paradox between moral empathy and violation of the rule of law. This research focuses on the case of Gorontalo Mayor Adhan Dambea, who openly encouraged MSMEs to sell on the sidewalk under the pretext of siding with the common people. His statement — “Kami berpihak pada rakyat, bukan pejabat. Kalau ada yang melarang, saya pasang badan.” — sparked a public debate that represented a discursive battle between moral legitimacy and legal norms. This research uses an approachqualitative-descriptivewith the methodCritical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough) combined with theorypopulism, through the modelEmpirical dual-layer CDA:simultaneous analysis of (1) the leader's discourse (institutional discourse) and (2) public counter-discourse. Data was obtained from the Mayor's statements in online media ( Pikiran Rakyat, RRI Gorontalo, Gorontalo Post, Website Pemkot ) and public comments on TikTok and news columns. The research results show three main findings: (1) populist rhetoric operates through moral empathy as legitimation for rule violations, (2) legal ambiguity is exploited as a source of symbolic power to frame moral actions, and (3) public counter-discourse forms moral resistance that affirms the supremacy of law and pedestrian rights. Theoretically, this study extends Fairclough's model by adding a dimension-populist empathy as a form of discursive power, and demonstrates that local political language plays an active role in shaping spatial planning and social legitimacy. The results are expected to form the basis for empathetic, legal, and just public communication.Keywords: Populist rhetoric, Critical Discourse Analysis, moral empathy, legal legitimacy, public counter-discourse, Gorontalo City
