Abstract

In the digital era, the use of technology in language learning has created new opportunities for English learners to practice speaking in more flexible and interactive ways. One such innovation is the Episoden platform, which provides real-time, one-on-one speaking sessions with users from different countries. For many learners, especially non-native Speakers, confidence remains a major obstacle in speaking English fluently and spontaneously. This study aimed to explore users` self-confidence in speaking English through their personal experiences on the Episoden platform. Specifically, the research focused on Identifying how users describe their confidence-building process and  what factors influence their confidence, A qualitative descriptive approach was chosen to gain deeper insight into users`Experiences. Using an open-ended questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed through the flow model by Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing.The results indicated that users became more confident over time through regular use of Episoden. Supportive conversations, clear topics, and a non-judgmental atmosphere were key factors, while common challenges like accents and technical issues helped build speaking routines. In conclusion, Episoden supports users in building self-confidence by providing real practice and a safe space to communicate and take risks.

Abstract

This study explores the role of English song in enhancing speaking skills among santri at Al-Khoirot Islamic Boarding School. Recognizing that traditional classroom methods often emphasize reading and writing, the research focuses on how music, particularly English songs, can supplement these approaches by improving students’ oral communication. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five santri who frequently listen to English music. Thematic analysis was applied to identify recurring patterns and insights. The findings reveal that English music plays a significant role in improving students’ pronunciation, vocabulary, and speaking fluency. Listening to songs helped learners become more familiar with native pronunciation and natural intonation, while repetition in lyrics supported vocabulary retention. Additionally, the study shows that music enhances students’ motivation, reduces learning anxiety, and creates a more engaging environment for language acquisition. Although its effect on listening comprehension was noticeable, it was less pronounced than its impact on speaking skills. Importantly, students emphasized the need for song selection that aligns with Islamic values and is appropriate for their language level. The study concludes that English music, when properly integrated and supported with interactive activities, can serve as a valuable tool to enrich speaking.

Abstract

Public speaking is an essential skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, yet it often induces significant anxiety that hinders their academic, professional, and personal development. This study aims to evaluate the levels of public speaking anxiety among EFL learners and examine the relationship between state and trait anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 42 purposively selected EFL learners in Kampung Inggris, Pare, who participated in public speaking tasks such as presentations and discussions. Results revealed moderate to high levels of both state and trait anxiety, with female learners exhibiting slightly higher anxiety than males. The findings underscore the substantial role of trait anxiety in shaping learners’ speaking performance and highlight the need for targeted interventions, including anxiety management techniques, gender-sensitive support, and the creation of a safe learning environment. These implications are critical for developing effective strategies to reduce public speaking anxiety and enhance oral communication competence among EFL learners.

Abstract

This study explores the digital construction of beauty standards through the X account of Indonesian social media celebrity Amanda Azahra. The present study draws upon social constructionist theory (Berger and Luckmann), Stuart Hall's representation theory, and celebrity studies, in order to examine the manner in which beauty norms are produced, negotiated, and contested in Indonesian digital culture. Employing qualitative methods, namely content analysis, discourse analysis and cultural analysis, the research examined Azahra's most viral posts from 2023–2025, alongside audience responses and media coverage. Findings of this study indicate that the construction of beauty on social media is an interactive, contested, and culturally embedded process, rather than a unidirectional influence. Azahra's digital persona has been shown to reinforce and disrupt norms via strategic visual self-presentation, calibrated authenticity, and vulnerability branding. The audience's reactions to this phenomenon range from admiration and parasocial attachment to ironic objectification and critique. Three key framing mechanisms are identified: direct beauty attribute definitions, causal links between beauty efforts and positive outcomes, and associations with aspirational lifestyles. Present study contributes to the understanding of how social media reshapes beauty discourses, gendered identities, and evolving values in contemporary Indonesia, revealing tensions between traditional femininity and modern digital practices.

Abstract

This study explores how teachers and students at SMA Negeri 1 Susukan adjust to digital learning while dealing with limited technological resources. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach with classroom observation and interviews to obtain comprehensive information about teachers' and students' adaptation strategies, obstacles, and perceptions. The results show that teachers have adopted digital media such as projectors, PowerPoint, instructional video materials, and Google Forms, although the implementation is inconsistent because of unavailable devices, unstable internet connections, and limited facilities. Furthermore, students also respond positively to digital lessons, even though they face similar challenges of limited internet access, personal devices, and confusion when teachers do not provide detailed explanations. These findings confirm the Diffusion of Innovation and Community of Inquiry theories that adaptation has been implemented, but it has not been optimized due to the lack of infrastructure support and teaching presence. Therefore, this study is important to provide an empirical description about the challenges of digital adaptation in schools with limited technology and serve as a reference for developing programs to improve technology infrastructure and strengthen teachers' and students' digital competencies.

Abstract

This study explores how fun English Club activities can help improve students’ speaking skills at SMP Negeri 9 Salatiga. Many junior high school students feel shy, nervous, or afraid of making mistakes when speaking English in class. English Club provides a relaxed and enjoyable environment where students can practice speaking without pressure. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and interviews with eight English Club members. The findings show that students enjoy the club because the activities are fun, varied, and help them practice vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. They also feel more confident to speak English because their friends and tutors give positive support. However, some challenges still appear, such as noise, discipline problems, and limited vocabulary. Overall, the study concludes that English Club can be an effective way to enhance students’ speaking skills when activities are enjoyable, supportive, and well-organized. The study also highlights the need for better classroom management and consistent practice to help students overcome remaining difficulties.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of short-form video platforms has expanded opportunities for informal English learning beyond traditional classroom settings. Among these platforms, TikTok has gained increasing scholarly attention due to its microlearning features and high levels of student engagement. However, empirical evidence linking TikTok engagement to self-directed vocabulary learning remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between EFL university students’ engagement with English TikTok videos and their self-directed vocabulary learning. Using a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 86 undergraduate EFL students from a state university in Palangka Raya, Indonesia. Data were collected through two validated instruments: the Self-Directed Vocabulary Learning Scale, measuring goal-setting, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation, and the TikTok Video Engagement Scale, assessing behavioural, affective, and cognitive engagement. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis were employed. The findings revealed significant positive correlations between all dimensions of TikTok engagement and self-directed vocabulary learning (r = .445–.674, p <.001). Affective and cognitive engagement showed the strongest relationships with self-monitoring and self-evaluation. These results indicate that engagement with English-language TikTok videos is positively associated with learners’ autonomous vocabulary development. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of social media–based microlearning to support learner autonomy and vocabulary acquisition in the higher education EFL contexts.

Abstract

The ability to speak English effectively in chemistry seminars is an important skill for student, as their activities require clear and academic delivery of scientific concepts. This study aims to identify and measure the types of challenges students face when speaking English in chemistry seminars. This study used a quantitative descriptive research design with a survey method. The research instrument was a closed-ended questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale to forty-one Chemistry students. The questionnaire covered four main aspects: linguistic challenges, psychological factors, and academic difficulties. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, and average scores to determine the level of dominance of each type of challenge. The study findings indicate that linguistic challenges, particularly difficulty finding appropriate chemical vocabulary when speaking, frequent nervousness when speaking in English in chemistry seminars, frequent difficulty constructing spontaneous sentences when explaining chemical concepts, limited scientific vocabulary, and difficulty constructing academic sentences. And linguistic factors, particularly difficulty pronouncing chemical terms in English correctly, not being very proficient in using scientific terms in oral contexts, and difficulty using conjunctions or connectors when explaining chemical ideas, were the most dominant obstacles.
