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.

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.
