Abstract

This study explores the English language anxiety experienced by Javanese postgraduate female students. It highlights the influence of social, cultural, and gender factors on language anxiety. Using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a total of seven students from the English Language Education postgraduate program at Universitas Negeri Malang. The results indicate that there are three main sources of language anxiety: fear of making mistakes due to a culture of shyness, anxiety when speaking in public due to a culture of avoiding confrontation, and lack of preparation in using English in academic contexts. Moreover, Javanese cultural values such as etiquette (tata krama), politeness, harmony (rukun), and gender roles emphasizing politeness have been shown to influence female students' anxiety in using English. Students also used and shared various strategies to cope with anxiety, such as building self-confidence, maintaining a positive mindset, continuing to practice, and creating a comfortable learning environment. This study also highlights the importance of a learning approach that is aware of students' cultural backgrounds in creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment, such as avoiding negative judgment and monotonous learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the levels and contributing factors of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) among eighth-grade junior high school students within the Kurikulum Merdeka. Employing a mixed-methods explanatory design, it combines quantitative data from the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) administered to 30 students and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with six participants representing different anxiety levels. The findings reveal that most students experience moderate anxiety shaped by communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, test-related concerns, and classroom dynamics, which are further influenced by social pressure, teacher and peer evaluation, and low self-confidence. Coping strategies vary across students, ranging from independent preparation and consistent practice to relaxation, informal exposure, and positive self-talk. While the Kurikulum Merdeka promotes flexibility and participatory learning, students still encounter pressure to perform linguistically in front of peers when using English. This study advances the understanding of FLA in secondary education by highlighting its manifestations in the context of a national curriculum reform and offering practical guidance for educators and policymakers to design adaptive, inclusive, and empowering English language learning environments.
