Abstract

The present study delves into the types of slip of the tongue occurring in formal speaking class accompanied by somatic anxiety and strategies to reduce it. The research employed a qualitative approach through students' observation of simulation, survey, and in-depth interviews. The participants were 91 students of the English language program joining the formal speaking class. The data were analyzed using the theory of slip of the tongue and the framework of somatic anxiety. The result revealed four types of tongue slips found in the formal speaking class: addition, substitution, perseveration, and repetition. The students with somatic anxiety produced more slip of the tongue than the non-anxious students. Substitution is the most dominant error produced by students. Most substitutions occurred due to the phonological similarity effect either in the mother tongue or in the target language. The findings also reported that the slip of the tongue was accompanied by somatic symptoms such as cardiopulmonary symptoms, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and general symptoms. Students mostly experience cardiopulmonary symptoms palpitations, heavy sweating or perspiration, and nausea followed the symptoms. In addition, the internal factors that contributed to the slip of the tongue were fear of the stage, lack of confidence, and shyness factor. Finally, music therapy is perceived to be effective in alleviating the students' somatic symptoms and speech errors.

Abstract

The body serves as a symbol that describes the relationship between individual parts of an organism and the system as a whole. A structure of the social system of society can be found within the body. Literature works as the product of a culture and is considered a mirror of society. The body in literature is often a theme or symbol rich in meaning because the body can reflect various aspects of human life, such as identity, emotion, culture, politics, spirituality, and social relationships. The use of the body in literature often involves multidimensional exploration that inspires readers to understand the human experience more deeply. The Vampire Academy series brings about a body issue representing certain social structures of a society. This study aims to explore the symbols underlying the vampire body in the Vampire Academy series. The material and data were gained from library sources using a literary study method. The objects of this study are six novels by Richelle Mead from the Vampire Academy series, which tell the story of the lives of teenagers who fight against the class division structure in a school. The results include the body becoming a symbol of group identity, as seen in the tattoos of the Dhampir guardians’ class and the Human Alchemists, symbols of sexuality in body shape, and symbols of power in the blood, skin colour, and tooth shape.

Abstract

This study explores the emerging phenomenon of AI-generated literature and its implications for creative writing, focusing on the characteristics of AI-generated texts, the impact of AI-human collaboration on the creative process, and the challenges posed by these technologies for traditional concepts of authorship, originality, and creativity. Through a comparative analysis of selected AI-generated literary works and a case study of the "Pharmako-AI" project, this research reveals the distinct stylistic, thematic, and structural features of AI-generated literature, as well as the complex dynamics of AI-human collaboration in the creative process. The findings suggest that while AI can serve as a powerful tool for creative exploration and experimentation, it also has limitations in terms of consistency, coherence, and emotional depth, and requires significant human input and judgment to shape the final literary output. The study contributes to the understanding of AI in creative writing by providing concrete insights into the capabilities and limitations of these technologies, and by highlighting the need for new frameworks and models to understand the nature of creative agency in the age of AI. The implications of AI-generated literature for the field of literature and future literary practices are discussed, including the potential for new forms of literary expression, new modes of authorship and collaboration, and new challenges to traditional concepts of originality and creativity. The study concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and the development of new theoretical and methodological approaches to analyze and evaluate AI-generated literature.

Abstract

This research aims to describe a number of language phenomena that appear in posts on social media related to the pro-Palestinian movement. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The data sources for this research are the social media platforms Instagram, X, and Telegram. The data in this research consists of linguistic elements in pro-Palestinian posts on the social media platforms Instagram, X, and Telegram. The data obtained are analysed using the matching method. The results of the data analysis are presented informally.  Data was collected using listening and note-taking techniques with data sources in the form of social media, especially Instagram, X, and Telegram. The result obtained include that pro-Palestinian movements or action produce a number of language phenomena, including the emergence of registers, slang, and dysphemism in posts on social media. The results illustrate the emergence of a linguistic phenomenon arising from a social phenomenon currently occurring in society. As part of the social element, language once again demonstrates the distinctiveness of certain groups based on the linguistic codes that have developed. Furthermore, the emerging language phenomenon does not merely appear as a form of vocabulary or language codes. Indirectly, these language codes manifest as a form of support and even resistance echoed by the public against the injustice currently happening to the Palestinian people.

Abstract

Anxiety in foreign language speaking is a widely studied aspect in EFL contexts. Identifying the factors contributing to students' speaking anxiety is essential for understanding and addressing this issue. A few anxiety students have indicated certain sociocultural factors, among other factors, could be responsible for students' foreign language speaking anxiety. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the social-cultural factors causing English-speaking anxiety in non-English primary undergraduate students. This study used a case study qualitative approach. The data collection used are in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data was collected from four undergraduate non-English majors in West Java. The data was analyzed using an open coding method to examine participants' opinions on the socio-cultural elements that impact English speaking anxiety. The data revealed several social-cultural related sources of speaking anxiety, including social and cultural environment, communicative apprehension, formal classroom environment, social status and self-identity, gender, and dialect. Collectively, these factors increase students' anxiety during speaking activities. Moreover, these sociocultural factors not only undermine students' confidence and willingness to take part in speaking tasks, but also hinder their overall progress in language learning. The results of this research are expected to offer helpful recommendations to enable English teachers or lecturers to react to their students' speaking anxiety and to assist teachers of lecturers in arranging their classes in a way that may reduce their students' speaking anxiety and promote students' speaking skills.

Abstract

Many students in the non-English Department feel anxious while speaking in front of the classroom and it has become a never-ending issue up to now. Therefore, this research focuses on investigating how anxiety factors affect students' behavior during EFL instruction and how non-English-speaking students' beliefs contribute to the development of anxiety.  Descriptive qualitative case study method was employed with the subject of the research were 32 students from the 4th semester of Arabic Language Education and Islamic Education study program at the non-English Department of Walisongo Islamic State University of Semarang. The instruments were field observation, interview, questionnaire, and Focus Group Discussion. The research revealed that non-English students learning ESP English commonly experience two primary types of anxiety: confusion and sweating. These feelings often arise due to a lack of preparation before attending English classes. Anxiety is heightened when students feel unprepared in three key areas: grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary mastery. In conclusion, students tend to feel anxious when they overthink the instructions or have to speak English in front of many peers. However, they feel more comfortable and engaged when lecturers create a joyful and positive classroom atmosphere. It is recommended that ESP students adopt strategies to manage their anxiety, including thorough preparation, relaxation techniques, positive thinking, seeking support from peers, and developing acceptance. Additionally, teachers should play an active role in reducing students' anxiety by fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the epistemological foundations and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) principles underpinning the teaching and learning of Indonesian for foreign speakers (BIPA). Using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, this research analyzed 16 studies on BIPA instructions published between 2020 and 2024 involving the identification of inclusion and exclusion criteria relevance to epistemology, SLA theories, and BIPA teaching. The methodology approach followed SLR guidelines by Evans Pearson (2001) including database searching employing Scopus or Google Scholar, and critically evaluated the chosen studies. To be in line with the theoretical frameworks and practical teaching strategies, data extraction placed a focus on epistemological methods and SLA issues. The results indicate that BIPA instructions in the selected articles align with the epistemology methods of empiricism, rationalism, constructivism, pragmatism, and hermeneutic, supporting SLA principles, such as language environment, comprehensible input, the roles of the first or second language, internal processing, and individual learner differences. Crucially, the study showed the other significant aspect that mostly in the selected articles yielded the importance of including Indonesian cultures in the teaching and learning BIPA process. This study improves BIPA instruction field by highlighting cultural literacy as fundamental in BIPA teaching and suggests its involvement as a learning strategy for language acquisition.
