Abstract

This study investigates the causes of anxiety in speaking among EFL students and provides solutions to overcome them. A total of 33 students from the sixth semester of the English Education Department at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan participated in this descriptive qualitative research by completing questionnaires and interviews. The results revealed that nervousness, trembling, and shyness are causing anxiety among students in speaking English, and preparation, confidence, peer-seeking, and effort can help overcome speaking anxiety. The implication of the study suggests that language educators should be aware of the causes of anxiety in EFL students and provide appropriate solutions to help them overcome their speaking anxiety. Limitations of the study may include the relatively small sample size and the fact that the study only focused on sixth-semester students in one particular department at a single university. Therefore, the findings may not be generalizable to other populations or contexts. For future research, it would be useful to include a more extensive and diverse sample of participants from different levels of language proficiency and different educational backgrounds. Additionally, incorporating other data collection methods, such as observation or focus groups, could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to speaking anxiety among EFL students. Finally, exploring the effectiveness of different interventions or strategies to reduce speaking anxiety could be an interesting avenue for future research.

Abstract

The crucial impact of knowing about learners reading strategies to acquire a second language has been widely accepted. Therefore, this paper reports a study investigating university students' awareness of their reading strategies when they read English academic texts. As many as 39 first-year university students took part as the research subject, and they answered a 30-item questionnaire on reading strategies. A four-point Likert Scale questionnaire named SORS (Survey of Reading Strategies) was deployed to collect the data concerning the use of reading strategies. The results indicated that among the three reading strategies, the students tended to use Problem-solving strategies more, followed by the Global Reading Strategies and Support Reading Strategies. Finally, the idea of metacognitive that undergoes before, during, and after reading activities must be equipped by the teachers to fulfil the scarcity in those stages of reading. The findings showed that the mean score of each category varied among the three, and these were discussed considering the reading strategy knowledge base as well as the theoretical and practical implications.

The current study's findings have clear implications for the teacher and students on how the students utilize YouTube as a supplementary resource in increasing their speaking fluency; the resource should focus more on developing student speaking fluency.

Abstract

Learning is a process from knowing nothing to knowing more and it can be done by ourselves or teachers. However, normally learning with a teacher is done face-to-face, but due to the pandemic, much of the learning was changed to online. Online learning is done virtually, usually using media as a learning platform; the media used for online learning is Zoom and Microsoft Teams. This article aims to discover Student's Preference Between Zoom and Microsoft Teams as The Media for Online Learning and their reasons for choosing the media. In addition, this research was conducted using a quantitative method; the researchers distributed a Google form to students, which contained several questions they had to answer related to the Zoom platform and Microsoft Teams as a medium for online learning. They also had to tell the reasons they chose the media. The result of this research is divided into two categories: completeness of features and convenience of use. Zoom and Microsoft Teams have some of the same features and also have their advantages and disadvantage. Most students choose Microsoft Teams because of the complete features, but they mostly choose Zoom for convenience. From the results obtained, it is hoped that in the future, people who read this paper will find it easier to choose what platforms they will use for online learning and choose the right media. It is hoped that it can increase the enthusiasm of students to learn.
