FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS’ UNWILLINGNESS TO SPEAK IN EFL CLASSROOM
Get PDFThe purposes of this research are to 1) find out the influencing factors of the students' unwillingness to speak in EFL classroom. and 2) find out how the factors influence students' unwillingness to speak in EFL classroom. A mixed-methods approach was used. The research subjects were 10th grade students majoring in Agribusiness Processing of Agricultural Products at SMK Negeri 4 Jeneponto. Participants were selected through a purposive sampling technique in determining the sample of this research, nine students were selected as participants, with three students categorized as having low score in English practice, three students categorized as having intermediate score in English practice, and three students categorized as having high score in English practice. The results of the research showed that psychological factor influencing students' unwillingness to speak in EFL classroom is lack of self-confidence. Meanwhile, linguistic factors included: (1) Lack of vocabulary (2) Lack of grammatical pattern knowledge and (3) Incorrect Pronunciation. A lack of confidence, frequently rooted in past negative experiences of language errors that have resulted in reluctance to speak in public, is a significant psychological barrier, discouraging students from participating. Linguistic challenges further exacerbate this issue; limited vocabulary and insufficient knowledge of grammatical patterns lead to hesitation and fragmented speech, as students struggle to articulate their thoughts clearly. Pronunciation errors also play a crucial role, as they can affect intelligibility and cause students to fear that their speech may not be understood, thus reinforcing their unwillingness to speak up in class
OPTIMIZING RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY: GRADUATE STUDENTS’ VIEW ON USING POP AND VOSVIEWER TOOLS
Get PDFThe increasing demand for high-quality academic publications has prompted the exploration of innovative tools to streamline the research process. We conducted a study to explore how graduate students perceive using tools like Publish or Perish (PoP) and VOSviewer to improve their research productivity. The research uses a mixed-method approach including surveys and interviews of graduate students in the Universitas Negeri Makassar postgraduate program. The results show that PoP allows effective literature searches and citation analysis, and VOSviewer enables a wide coverage visual exploration of bibliometric data, including research mapping and trend analyses. However, issues concerning technical know-how and tool access were highlighted. This study highlights the promising potential of incorporating PoP and VOSviewer into the existing academic writing curricula to help graduate students develop impactful work. The paper also discusses recommendations for better tool utilization and overcoming known challenges

THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN FACILITATING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Get PDFWith the prevalent and ubiquotous exposure to the Internet and digital technologies, students obtain better opportunities to various learning sources. This study explored how undergraduate students utilized digital technologies to facilitate their learning in an informal setting. The study employed a qualitative design, with interview as the instrument of data collection. A total of 10 undergraduate students in English Department, Faculty of Humanities at Sam Ratulangi University, participated in the study. The interview questions were formulated by using the theory of self-regulated learning, including preparing learning environment, organizing material, and monitoring and evaluation. While the students utilized the digital technology within their study, the use was still inconsistent, as they had limited knowledge about using the learning aids effectively. The results also revealed that the students did not set specific learning goals and select appropriate technologies to assist them during their study. Additionally, the results also suggested that the students did not monitor and use digital technologies to evaluate and monitor their learning. This study highlights the needs for educators to promote the incorporation of digital technologies in improving the quality of learning among students for a sustainable and independent learning
