Abstract

Inference generation is necessary for reading to understand stories. However, it may be difficult for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) readers to generate inferences owing to their limited cognitive resources that are mostly used in lower-level processing such as lexical and syntactical analysis. Predictive inference, which facilitates readers’ context processing and construction of a situational model, can be challenging for EFL readers to produce during reading. This study focuses on textual conditions and teacher’s task instructions to suggest the appropriate text choices and task instructions to help EFL readers produce predictive inferences. Two story versions (High-predictability Target vs. Control) and two different instructions (Predict the end of the story vs. Memorize the names of characters) were compared using recall rates. The findings indicated that the combination of a high-predictability target story with instructions to predict the end of the story would be the most effective pair for predictive inference.

The study's main objective was to determine students' reading anxiety levels and discover the most potential factors contributing to students’ Foreign Language Reading Anxiety (FLRA) in TOEFL Test. It was administered to 22 students of the English Department in Universitas Pembinaan Masyarakat Indonesia using purposive sampling in the academic year 2022/2023.

The data were collected using a Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS) questionnaire with five-point Likert scale participants and an interview sheet to examine the levels of their reading anxiety and its factors. The results demonstrate that the student's reading anxiety levels were 18% in the low category, 64% in the medium category, and 18% in the high category. It indicates that they experienced a medium level of anxiety while reading with unfamiliar vocabulary and unknown topics, and the fear of making mistakes was identified as the significant factor of FL reading anxiety.

Abstract

Active Empathic listening is an activity that combines traditional active listening procedures with the element of empathy, which will result in a higher form of listening (Drollinger, Comes & Warrington, 2006, p.162). Drollinger et al. conceptualized AEL (active empathic listening) as a three-stage activity: sensing, processing, and responding. Empathic listening helps us to listen and understand how others feel. It is one of the most essential social skills we need to maintain healthy relationships with others. Empathic listening helps us to relate to those around us more healthily and effectively. Empathic listening helps to get into a conversation, especially with college students. This research will use a Google form as a questionnaire instrument filled out by participants. The research reveals that participants rarely heard about Empathic Listening and used it in conversation because it was never heard and learned before; some say it is not interesting to learn.
