This study investigates the impact of two critical factors language anxiety and first language (L1) transfer on the speaking skills of second language learners, with a focus on Indonesian learners of Mandarin. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study explores how anxiety and L1 transfer shape learners' ability to speak confidently and fluently. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with five participants who have experienced both language anxiety and L1 transfer challenges. The findings reveal that language anxiety significantly impedes fluency, leading to hesitation, cognitive interference, and avoidance behavior. Similarly, L1 transfer had both positive and negative effects on speaking skills, with pronunciation and sentence structure often influenced by the learners' native language. The interaction between language anxiety and L1 transfer created a compounded effect, with negative transfer exacerbating anxiety and further hindering speaking performance. Positive L1 transfer, however, helped to alleviate anxiety and facilitated smoother speech. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing both emotional and linguistic challenges in SLA, suggesting that educators should adopt strategies to manage anxiety while leveraging positive L1 transfer to enhance speaking proficienc
THE USE OF GRAMMARLY IN INCREASING THE STUDENTS’ WRITING ABILITY : STUDY OF LITERATURE REVIEW
Get PDFAcademic writing is an essential skill for students at the secondary and higher education levels. However, mastering writing skills, particularly in grammar and sentence structure, remains a major challenge for many students. Various technology-based applications, such as Grammarly, have been developed to support students' improvement in writing abilities, particularly in aspects of grammar, vocabulary, and sentence coherence. This study aims to review various literature that highlights the effectiveness of Grammarly in enhancing students' writing skills. The method used in this study is a literature review by collecting and analyzing previous research findings related to the role of Grammarly in writing education. The literature review results indicate that Grammarly can help students automatically identify and correct grammatical and stylistic errors, provide real-time feedback, and motivate them to be more meticulous in constructing sentences and paragraphs. Consistent use of Grammarly can improve students' writing skills, particularly in terms of grammatical accuracy and sentence structure. Additionally, this application aids vocabulary development through alternative word and phrase suggestions that are more formal or contextually appropriate for academic writing. However, this study also found some limitations, such as students’ dependency on the application, which may reduce their critical thinking skills and creativity in writing.
It can be concluded that Grammarly can be an effective tool to support writing education, but its use should be accompanied by guidance from teachers or lecturers so that students can understand the reasons behind the corrections and the application of proper grammar. Thus, Grammarly has the potential to significantly enhance students' writing skills when used in a balanced learning approac
