Abstract

Environmental degradation presents an urgent challenge that requires early educational responses grounded not only in knowledge acquisition but also in ethical responsibility toward nature. This study explores how environmental literacy among elementary school students can be fostered through ecotheology-informed multimodal learning. Employing a mini participatory action research design, the study was conducted with fifth-grade students at an elementary school in Indonesia. Students engaged in a multimodal project centered on environmental issues, with drawing used as the primary medium for expressing understanding and reflection. Data were collected through students’ drawings, classroom observations, and oral explanations, and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that multimodal learning supported students’ comprehension of environmental issues such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change while encouraging emotional engagement and a sense of responsibility toward nature. From an ecotheological perspective, students’ representations reflected values of care, stewardship, and moral accountability for the environment, positioning nature as something to be protected rather than exploited. This study demonstrates that ecotheology-informed multimodal learning can provide meaningful learning experiences for young learners and contribute to the development of environmental literacy in elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate writing anxiety among English Education students at UIN Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven third-semester students and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that students experience significant writing anxiety manifested in cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges, including difficulties in generating ideas, organizing content, and fear of making errors. These challenges negatively affect students’ writing performance. Despite these difficulties, students employ various coping strategies, such as extensive reading and regular writing practice, to reduce anxiety and improve their writing skills. The study highlights the importance of addressing both cognitive and affective factors in supporting students’ writing development in EFL contexts.

Abstract

Public speaking is a crucial skill in academic and professional contexts; however, many students experience anxiety that can hinder their performance. This study aims to understand students’ anxiety in a public speaking course by exploring the challenges they encounter and the coping strategies they employ. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three students to collect the data, which were then analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings reveal that fear of negative evaluation, lack of confidence, and pressure from graded presentations were the primary sources of anxiety. These challenges were reflected in physical, cognitive, and behavioral responses during speaking performances. To cope with these challenges, students employed intensive practice, deep breathing techniques, and relied on positive feedback from teachers. The findings suggest that supportive classroom environments may play an important role in helping students manage anxiety and sustain participation in speaking activities. The study concludes that public speaking anxiety should be understood not only as a barrier but also as a dynamic experience in which anxiety and engagement can coexist. Future studies could include a broader and more diverse group of participants to examine how anxiety and coping strategies vary across educational contexts.
