Abstract

Speaking is a communication activity that permits people to communicate verbally while using nonverbal cues from their bodies. Many students experience anxiety before speaking in front of a class, especially in English. The writer used five previous studies in this research. The purpose of this study is to identify the strategies and issues that students at Islamic Junior High School in Ciamis use to reduce anxiety when speaking English. This study used Likert scale instruments. This study used a qualitative approach, and for the design, it used a case study with 20 respondents. Meanwhile, the data of this study were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Therefore, the writer proposes to study the causes of students' anxiety in English speaking and teachers' ways to alleviate anxiety in the classroom in the context of Indonesian TEFL. The study attempts to analyze "Students' Strategies for Reducing Speaking Anxiety in English". The result of this study overall shows that students felt fear in speaking English because of a lack of understanding of vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, The strategies they used are clustered around preparation, i.e., multiple speaking exercises.

Abstract

This paper provides an empirical examination of the perception of silence as a communicative act in a Rimi cultural context. Four casual conversations with Rimi native speakers were examined.  Silence in conversation was determined using a turn-taking framework in Conversation Analysis previously described by Sacks et al. (1974) as a turn-taking organization.  Native speakers of Rimi like people in other cultures have beliefs and myths regarding silence. However, these cultural artifacts are often hardly reflected in their real conversation practice. Rimi's belief regarding the value of silence dictates avoidance of silence because they consider it a danger and veiled bad intentions. Despite this cultural orientation regarding silence, in some contexts, Rimi native speakers give it a positive value. The findings show that silence can be used for terminating a topic, showing agreement, and indicating emotions such as sadness. Silence therefore can lead to either harmonious or troubled conversation at the same time. Many prolific studies have shown that Eastern cultures appreciate silence while the Western cultures silence is attributed to incompetence and lack of willingness to participate in communication. This cultural dichotomy regarding the perception of silence between Western and Eastern cultures gives an impression that cultures can either perceive silence positively or negatively. Data from this study show that this understanding is faulty. The data indicate that silence cannot be described categorically as solely positively or negatively perceived in a particular culture; instead, it should be viewed as a variable entity within a single cultural group.

Abstract

In the contemporary educational landscape, a significant portion of college students belongs to Generation Z, characterized by their familiarity with the Internet, mobile technology, and video games. Educators are increasingly turning to innovative solutions to address the challenge of fostering a meaningful learning environment that enhances student motivation and improves learning outcomes. Classcraft, as a notable example, offers a platform for educators to captivate students through gamified learning experiences and immersive role-playing. This study conducts a scoping review to investigate research findings about the effectiveness of Classcraft, specifically focusing on its gamification elements, within the realm of English instruction. The review encompasses articles published between 2018 and 2023, following the comprehensive five-stage framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley (2005). The key revelation of this scoping review underscores the advantages of integrating Classcraft to establish an immersive gamified learning environment in the context of English instruction. The insights derived from this review hold particular significance for instructional designers operating in higher education settings.

Abstract

The focus of this study was to explore the frequencies and collocations analysis in Contemporary American English for the verbs come and go. To conduct the study, the researchers employed quantitative and qualitative methods. Data were collected from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and analyzed using Benson et al.'s (1986; 2010) grammatical and lexical collocation types. COCA stores all tokens of academic, fiction, movies, blogs, newspapers, and magazine domains. All occurrences frequency of COCA was retrieved, and 300 tokens consisting of the words come and go were collected. The results showed that the word deictic go was more frequent than the word come in COCA, with a total frequency of occurrence of 55% and 45%, respectively. The type of collocation in the word go also had more variations. The word go had nine types of collocation, whereas the word come had seven types of collocations. This study gives applicable and relevant knowledge to non-native speakers of English.
