The possible causes of speaking anxiety in the EFL classrooms are further classified into two primary causes, including the affective-related and linguistic-related causes. The promotion of cooperative learning atmosphere and the needs to rebalance the focus of achieving linguistic accuracy and providing broad speaking opportunities are the critical solutions to cope with the issue. The implications can be essential references for both the EFL teachers and learners in the classroom.

Journal of English Language Studies Vol 3, No 2 (2018): Available online in September 2018
Publisher : English Department - University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa

One of the impacts that can be observed on language differences during learning English is interference. Indonesian medical students have problem with writing; what they said did not reflect what they meant to. This descriptive analysis study identified the interference on medical students while doing writing activity in the class. Four students were chosen randomly as the subjects to give their written diagnosis. The analysis was done on basis of lexical interference after categorizing formal error on their writing. The result showed that error distributions were omissions, coinage, claque, misselection, borrowing, misordering and overinclusion, where the most prominent was omission. This problem may happen due to first language, language learning process and the English words themselves. The strategy of writing instruction can be started from vocabulary understanding to minimize writing errors.Â

The President wants to convey diverse messages to the people through indirect speech acts, and at the same time, to increase the force of the message communicated.
