Discussion

Hello guys !!!

Welcome back to my blog J

            This is the third review about the journal that I choosen. As you know that last week I wrote the journal review about the Theoretical Framework and Research Methodology, now I would like to continue my review to the “Discussion”. Please read it till the end because you will get the new knowledge that will be help you in learning english, especially for speaking skill. You can read the result from the writer’s research or the discussion contents below :

1.      The Causes of Speaking Anxiety : there are four factors of speaking enxiety for students as the learners of foreign language. The first factor is the students afraid in making mistakes and getting the negative comments from their friends or teacher. The second factor is the students do not have any motivation in their self and they do not confident. The third factor is the students ability in linguistics competence are limited. The last factor is lack of time for speaking practice. The writer devide four factors of speaking anxiety in two majors :

a)      Affective-related causes : the students’ perception to their ability when they perform speaking skills are afraid in making mistakes and getting the negative comments, do not have any motivation and  do not confident. Finally the students choose to silent and do not participate during the classroon activities.

b)      Linguistic-related causes : the students’ problems are lack of vocabulary, less of grammar knowledge, and the students’ opportunities for practice their speaking skill are limited. That causes of these problems is the teacher just focus on giving material to the students.

2.      Practical implications to address the issue of speaking anxiety : the writer proposed two practical implication for speaking anxiety problem. You can know the explanation about the practical implication below :

a)      Promoting cooperative learning atmosphere : cooperating learning atmosphere is more effective rather than competitive learning atmosphere because the students can more confident, improve self motivation and their can reduce their negative perspective about speaking practice.

b)      Balancing the emphasis on linguistic accuracy and meaningful speaking practice : After teach the material, the teacher give the opportunities to the students for practice what have they learn in the speaking classroom. The teacher must divide the time for learning material 50% and speaking practice 50% , because the students can reduce their speaking anxiety if they often do the speaking practice.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY USED IN THE JOURNAL THAT COMPILED By Yogi Saputra Mahmud

Hello everyone!!!

Welcome back to my blog J

This is the second blog in 4^th semester and Last week I had wrote the review about abstract and introduction in the journal, Now the review is about theoretical framework and research methodology. Let’s read it till the end......

1.      Theoretical framework

This journal used the theory “the notion of foreign language anxiety (FLA)”  by Horwitz and cope (1986). Categories of FLA proposed by Horwitz divided into three points and each point have the different definition or meaning. You can read the three catogories of FLA below :

a)      Test anxiety : relates to the students’ nervousness during learning and practice of speaking skill in the classroom.

b)      Fear of negative evaluation : relates to the students’ perception about negative criticism that will be disclosed by their teachers and their peers.

c)      Communication apprehension : relates to the students’ ability in communication skill. The students feel that they do not have communication skill.

2.      Reseach methodology

The researcher begin with an investigation of data analysis from other researchers which has the relevant field. On the other words the researcher used synthesis method (make a new theory that took from two or more the other researchers’ theories after do the research). In this paper the researcher do several research steps, the first step is he develops research question, the second step is he identifies and evaluates the available dataset, and the last step is he presents the identification and evaluation result of the dataset to answer the research question.

That all my review about theoretical framework and research methodology in the journal that I choosen last week. I hope you can get some new knowledge after read my blog and please wait for the next review J.
