Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of their learning styles in the context of an English-speaking class. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation involving tenth-grade Culinary A students at SMKN 2 Gowa. The findings indicate that while students are unfamiliar with the theoretical concept of learning styles, they exhibit clear visual, auditory, and kinesthetic preferences in receiving, processing, and evaluating information. The results highlight that visual learners depend on visual aids, auditory learners seek verbal clarification, and kinesthetic learners prefer physical or group activities. Despite their conceptual limitations, students are aware of effective learning strategies that align with their personal styles. These insights underscore the importance of recognizing individual learning preferences to enhance instructional design in speaking classes.

Abstract

Language anxiety represents a significant barrier for English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in academic speaking tasks where performance pressure is elevated. This study aimed to identify the strategies second-semester English Literature students employed at Universitas Balikpapan to alleviate anxiety during academic speaking activities. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 20 purposively selected students who reported experiencing speaking anxiety. The interviews consisted of five key questions designed to elicit detailed descriptions of students’ experiences with language anxiety and their coping mechanisms. Thematic analysis revealed four main strategies consistently employed by students to manage language anxiety during academic speaking: preparation, relaxation, conviction, and resignation. Preparation emerged as a frequently reported strategy, wherein students meticulously practised their presentations, organized notes, and rehearsed vocabulary to build confidence (8 students). Relaxation techniques, including deep breathing, positive self-talk, and listening to music before presentations, were widely used to calm nerves (10 students). Conviction involved fostering a mindset of self-belief and positive affirmation, with students recognizing that mistakes are an integral part of learning (3 students). Lastly, some students adopted a strategy of resignation, accepting their anxiety but proceeding with the task regardless, often viewing it as a necessary challenge (2 students). These strategies varied according to individual coping styles and levels of self-efficacy. The findings underscore the importance of managing language anxiety to enhance academic speaking performance. The study recommends that educators cultivate supportive classroom environments and incorporate explicit anxiety-reduction techniques into speaking curricula. This research contributes novel insights by focusing specifically on anxiety management within academic speaking tasks, offering practical guidance for improving pedagogical approaches in EFL education. Future research could explore the long-term effectiveness of these strategies and the impact of instructor-led interventions on students’ anxiety management skills.

Abstract

Listening ability is one of the basic skills in learning English that is often considered difficult by students. This is caused by several factors such as lack of understanding, the speed of native speakers, and monotonous learning materials. To overcome this, innovative and interesting learning media are needed. One of the media that is considered effective and close to the world of teenagers is English songs. Songs not only present authentic language, but are also able to create a pleasant learning atmosphere. Based on this background, this study aims to determine the interest of class XI Harmonis students in the use of English songs in listening learning.This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach. The instrument used is a closed questionnaire consisting of 12 statements, each with four answer choices scored 1–4. The research subjects were 30 class XI Harmonis At SMAN 1 Pangkep. The data were analyzed to determine the total score, percentage, and classification of student interest levels based on certain intervals.The results of the study showed that 23 students (77%) were in the high interest category (Very High Interest) and 7 students (23%) were in the very high interest category (Very High Interest). There were no students in the medium or low interest category. This shows that the use of English songs is very popular with students and can be an effective medium in listening learning. The conclusion of this study is that English songs have great potential to increase students' interest in learning to listen. Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers consider the use of songs as part of a learning strategy, by choosing songs that are appropriate to the level of ability and interest of students so that learning becomes more enjoyable, meaningful, and effective

Abstract

This research employed a descriptive qualitative method to explore the primary factors affecting students’ Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The study was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with EFL students and analysed using theories from Macintyre et al.’s (1998) heuristic model of WTC as the theoretical framework. The findings reveal that a complex interplay of individual, social, and pedagogical factors influences WTC. Key internal factors include communicative self-confidence, language anxiety, motivation (both instrumental and integrative), and personality traits such as introversion and extroversion. Students reported greater WTC when interacting with familiar peers, when they perceived the conversation partner as less dominant, or when the topic was familiar and engaging. Linguistic competence, particularly vocabulary and grammar mastery, also significantly impacted their willingness to speak. While the social context emerged as equally influential, students highlighted that peer support, a positive classroom atmosphere, and a non-threatening environment facilitated their WTC, while fear of making mistakes or negative evaluation, especially during formal interactions with lecturers, served as communication barriers. The flexible use of Bahasa Indonesia in combination with English was also noted as a scaffold that helped ease anxiety and improve comprehension. Overall, this study concludes that WTC is not a fixed trait but a dynamic construct shaped by psychological readiness, linguistic ability, interpersonal relationships, and instructional methods. This research should be conducted in a more varied sample. Replicating this study across different regions, educational levels, and learner demographics will help generalize the findings and strengthen the evidence base for best practices in EFL teaching. Besides, Research into how variables such as emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and language learning beliefs interact with WTC can contribute to more personalized language teaching approaches to investigating students' WTC in the EFL classroom.

Abstract

This study analyzes the difficulties faced by low achiever students in learning English at SMA Negeri 7 Bulukumba. Focusing on two research questions, the study aims to (1) identify the causes of low achievement in English learning and (2) explore the perceptions of both students and teachers, particularly related to the use of technology. This qualitative case study involved five eleventh-grade low achiever students and two English teachers. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Findings show internal factors such as low motivation, limited vocabulary, and poor grammar mastery hinder learning. Externally, the lack of family support, teacher-centered methods, and unproductive technology use compound these issues. While digital tools could aid learning, students’ low digital literacy and teachers’ limited technological integration reduce their impact. The study recommends personalized instruction, increased teacher support, and infrastructure improvements to address these challenges.
