Participants consisted of 34 fifth-semester students from the Department of English Education at Universitas Syiah Kuala. Employing qualitative methodology, the study utilized questionnaires and interviews as research instruments to collect data. Questionnaires were used to capture data concerning diverse forms of student anxiety, while interviews were conducted to elucidate the determinants of anxiety specifically related to composing English essays. Outcomes revealed that cognitive anxiety was predominant, afflicting 43.5% of fifth-semester students, showcasing its prevalence in this cohort. Additionally, language complexities, self-confidence deficits, fear of critical evaluation, and the pursuit of perfection emerged as pivotal sources of essay-writing apprehension. These findings underline the multifaceted nature of student anxiety during English essay composition, thereby serving as a valuable resource for educational stakeholders seeking insights to enhance students' writing competencies.

Abstract

Studies about an attitude toward learning English have been conducted almost everywhere because of its important influence on the English learning process. The attitude can be categorized into three components namely cognitive, affective/emotional, and behavioral. The study is focused on the emotional component which covers the person’s emotions and feeling towards an object. It can directly affect one’s preferences in order to stand for or against or to like or dislike something. Due to the pandemic situation where all the subjects must be done virtual, the researcher attempts to explore what are students’ emotional attitudes toward the virtual oral presentation. The researcher finds it interesting since virtual learning is an uncommon method for students, especially in doing an oral presentation as well as the novelty of the previous related study. The research objective is to find out the students’ emotional attitudes towards oral presentation in virtual learning, especially in the fifth semester of the English education study program at Pattimura University. This study applied a survey as a research design by using a Questionnaire and Interview. The subject of this study consists of fifteen students who enrolled in SLA class. The result of the questionnaire showed that most students in the second language acquisition (SLA) class held a positive attitude toward the virtual oral presentation. The majority or 12 students (80%) strongly agreed that the oral presentation in virtual learning is more fun and preferable. On the other hand, 11 students (73.3%) strongly agreed that it reduces their anxiety level and also improves their self-confidence. In conclusion, it benefits so much to improve their motivation in English virtual learning compared to face-to-face oral presentations. In a face-to-face class, they had high speaking anxiety by having a great fear of getting involved in a conversation, great fear of the audience, and a great fear of failure. In addition, further researchers can focus on the technology application in virtual learning and its impact on students’ language ability as the novelty element of this study.
