Abstract

This study examined the speaking anxiety levels and sources among 130 English as a Second Language (ESL) students at Universitas Pamulang, across basic and intermediate courses. Speaking competence is crucial in today's globalized world, yet anxiety often hinders learners' confidence and participation. Using a quantitative survey, the adapted "Sources of Speaking Anxiety for Learners of English as a Second Language Scale" by Young (1990) was administered. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA were used to analyze the data, looking at anxiety levels and their connection to gender and proficiency. Results showed that over half of the students (53.49%) experienced some speaking anxiety. Interestingly, no significant differences were found based on gender or overall proficiency, except for one specific item: intermediate learners showed higher anxiety when interacting with peers of the opposite sex. The primary sources of anxiety identified were fear of making mistakes, unfamiliarity with topics, fear of evaluation, and limited vocabulary. Conversely, speaking with classmates and engaging in role-play activities were less anxiety-provoking. These findings highlight the need for educators to address both the psychological and teaching aspects of language instruction. The study recommends implementing learner-centered approaches, interactive speaking tasks, and supportive classroom environments to alleviate performance pressure. The results have implications for developing more inclusive and effective ESL instruction, especially where students have limited English exposure outside the classroom. Future research could benefit from qualitative data and larger, more diverse samples.

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of higher education, the development of critical thinking (CT) has emerged as a fundamental educational objective, particularly in foreign language instruction. While considerable attention has been given to integrating CT into receptive language activities such as reading and listening, productive skills—namely speaking and writing—remain underexplored in this regard. This article investigates the effectiveness of targeted instructional strategies and technologies designed to foster CT during productive language learning tasks. Drawing on a structured framework encompassing mental operations and cognitive phases (activation, comprehension, and reflection), this study identifies and systematizes pedagogical methods that simultaneously develop linguistic proficiency and CT competencies. These include essay writing, structured discussion, conceptual mapping, clustering, annotation, forecasting, and project-based learning, all aligned with higher-order cognitive functions such as analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and decision-making. The study concludes that intentional integration of CT-promoting strategies into productive language skills instruction significantly enhances learner engagement, autonomy, and cognitive agility. The findings underscore the need for continued pedagogical innovation and offer practical implications for language educators aiming to bridge linguistic and critical competencies in university settings.

Abstract

The short story "When Mother Comes" by Dwi Ratih Ramadhany presents the figure of a mother from three generations who has to grapple with dilemmas in her life, which then shows the gender relations between the characters. Dwi Ratih Ramadhany who is a female writer born in Sampang, Madura who raises many female themes in her work. The short story "When Mother Comes" is told through a simple plot through the arrival of a mother to her child's house, when her child gives birth. This study concludes that there are a number of myths that the Mother character brings as the old generation, to the I, as the new generation. These myths include the myth of 'fighting the mother makes the child go to hell', the myth of 'the baby's urine is put in a jug', the myth 'the breast is infested with jinn and demons so that the child does not want to breastfeed'. Meanwhile, the gender relations that emerge in this short story are divided into two, the first is that perpetuates gender stereotypes, namely, associating domestic tasks with female characters, demonizing female characters as grumpy monsters, positioning male characters as more rational parties in the midst of the absence of these characters in family debates, while the second is breaking gender stereotypes seen in the “I” character who has agency and critical power to question the gender stereotypes imposed on her.

Abstract

This study aims to strengthen the values of ecological fiqh in building a madrasa model that supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ecological fiqh, which is based on Islamic principles such as balance (mizan), non-destruction (la tufsidu fil ard), and sustainability (istidamah), offers a relevant conceptual framework to address global challenges related to the environment. Madrasas, as educational institutions based on Islamic values, have the potential to become centers of educational transformation in instilling ecological awareness and supporting the goals of the SDGs, especially quality education (SDG 4), environmental action (SDG 13) and life on land (SDG 15). This study uses a conceptual method with a theoretical analysis approach. Data and information were obtained through a literature review of various literatures, including primary sources in ecological fiqh and SDGs documents. The analysis was conducted to formulate the principles of ecological fiqh that can be integrated into the madrasa education model. The results of the study indicate that strategies for strengthening ecological values include integration into the curriculum, developing an environmentally friendly culture in madrasas, and involving the educational community and the wider community. This study provides a conceptual contribution in formulating an SDGs-based madrasah model based on ecological fiqh. Recommendations are provided for policy makers, madrasah managers, and related parties in building an educational ecosystem that supports global sustainability.

Abstract

This study explores university students' perceptions of YouTube as an English language learning medium. With digital platforms increasingly complementing traditional education, YouTube offers a flexible, accessible repository of content that enhances listening, speaking, vocabulary, and grammar skills. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five students from the English Language Education Study Program at UIN Raden Intan Lampung State Islamic University. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, revealing that students value YouTube for its interactive content and the opportunity to learn at their own pace through trusted channels such as BBC Learning English and TED Talks. Respondents reported that YouTube effectively supplements their learning especially in authentic conversational contexts and exam preparation while also noting challenges including inconsistent content quality, distracting advertisements, and difficulties in finding material suitable to their proficiency level. The findings suggest that integrating YouTube with traditional classroom instruction may enhance overall language proficiency, highlighting the need for further research on optimizing digital media use in language education

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in improving language proficiency among 20 fourth-grade elementary students at MI Miftahul Jannah, Kedung Supit. The flipped classroom approach allows students to independently review materials before class, maximizing in-class time for interactive and collaborative learning. Employing a qualitative research design with experimental pre-test/post-test components and descriptive methods, data were collected via observations and interviews. Analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Language proficiency assessments and motivation questionnaires served as instruments. Results showed the flipped classroom significantly enhanced students' language abilities, particularly in speaking and writing, and fostered greater enthusiasm and engagement. The model’s implementation involved three phases: pre-class material review using worksheets; in-class discussions and exercises guided by the teacher; and post-class formative assessments. A notable improvement in listening and speaking skills was observed. Previously, students struggled with main ideas, new vocabulary, and expressing opinions due to time and improper language use. After adopting the flipped classroom, 15 of 20 students demonstrated significant progress, outperforming traditional methods. Furthermore, motivation questionnaires indicated increased student drive. This research confirms the flipped classroom as an effective strategy for boosting elementary language proficiency and offers a valuable resource for innovative teaching practices.
