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.
