CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This section provides the background of the proposed study. It focuses on the brief description about the topic which was chosen for the research and why the researcher conducted the research on this field. It also specifies the aims of the research, describes the scope of the research, gives a brief overview about the research methodology, the clarification of the terms, and the organization of the paper.

1.1 Background of the Study

Speaking is one of the four important skills in language learning. It helps students to be able to communicate with people around the world. Students should have a good command communication skill in English so as to prepare their future careers and lives. In reality, even though English has been taught for at least six years in school levels in

Indonesia, which in Junior High School and Senior High School level and also in many Elementary Schools as local content subject, the students still have some difficulties in learning English whether it is productive or receptive skill, especially speaking. The fact

that many of school graduates cannot communicate in English has become national problem in Indonesia (Alwasilah, 2000:62).

This could happen because of lack of speaking exposure (Ramesh, 2012). English in Indonesia is considered to be a foreign language. Most of time, students could only

develop their speaking ability in EFL classroom, but they usually don’t use this chance

to enhance their speaking ability. It happens because of many factors, one of the reason is the students are not comfortable so speak in front of others. According to previous

research, Sugiharti (2007) found out that students don’t feel comfortable in front of the

(13)

Dinar Simatupang, 2015

STUDENT’S SPEAKING ANXIETY IN ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) CLASSROOM Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

The reluctance of many students to speak in class has become a major factor that could influence their ability in language learning. In an EFL classroom, students tend to be silent if they are asked by their teacher. May times they keep questions from their

teacher (Snell’s 1999). In his research, Togatorop (2009) states that students tend to be

silent in EFL classroom because they are unable to manage their emotion including nervousness, lack of self-confidence, shyness, lack of motivation and boredom.

According to Quying (2007:5) even many Chinese university students who are able to pass English examinations with high grades are actually weak at communicating

with the language in real life situations orally. He also added that “some even lack the

courage to open their mouth at all to try and speak, or stumble and stammer when they

speak and considered as “mute” “listener”. These learners have different perceptions of

speaking using foreign language. One of the most common beliefs is that learners believe that nothing should be said until it can be said correctly (Horwitz et al., 1986; Krashen, 1982).

The phenomenon happens because of many factors and anxiety is one of the most influencing factors (Oxford, 1992 cited in Al-Saraj, 2011). As suggested by Horwitz et al (1986) teachers and students feel strongly that anxiety is the main factor of obstacle to speak another language.

Speaking is an anxious triggering activity that makes students anxious when they are in classroom, many learners are highly anxious because of participating in speaking activities (Keramida, 2009). In fact, it is often suggested that speaking in the most anxiety-proviking language skill in foreign language learning situation (Subasi, 2010; Oxford, 1992). They even become more anxious when given questions or asked to perform in front of the class (Liu, 2007). This finding has some familiarities with Horwitz, et al (1986) finding that showed EFL students are afraid to speak in foreign language because they are afraid to make mistakes and thought as fewer competencies

by the others. They are don’t have bravery to speak in front of others because their high self-consciousness (Krashen, 1982).

(14)

Dinar Simatupang, 2015

STUDENT’S SPEAKING ANXIETY IN ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) CLASSROOM Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

Krashen (1982) categorized anxiety as an affective filter that could impede students to gain their full ability in learning language. They also might develop other kinds of negative behaviors such as becoming passive learners in the class, sitting in the back of row and even skipping EFL classes.

There some previous researches on anxiety and its effects to speaking ability. The

result shows that anxiety plays an important role in students’ speaking ability. It shows

that the higher students’ anxiety in EFL, the more they tend to gain low speaking proficiency (Aida, 1994; Cheng, 2012). Many of previous researches on speaking

anxiety focused on high school level, therefore, this research will investigate foreign language learner anxiety of Junior High School students in Indonesia and their strategies to overcome it.

This chapter is the description of how the study was conducted in order to find out the answer of the research question, what are the levels of anxiety experienced by the

students in English speaking class, what are the sources that contribute to students’ speaking anxiety and what strategies do the students apply to reduce their anxiety. It covers the research design, the site and respondents, the data collection procedure and the data analysis.

3.1 Research Design

(19)

STUDENT’S SPEAKING ANXIETY IN ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) CLASSROOM Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

3.2 Site and Respondents

The study was conducted in a Junior High School in Bandung. This school was chosen for reasons such as the researcher had ever conducted a teaching practicum in that school. Besides, for many reasons it was found that many of students were very anxious to speak English. This condition pushed the researcher to conduct a research about how and why students’ anxiety really matters to speaking proficiency. Thirty two second grade students were chosen as the respondents of this research. Afterward, eight students with various level of anxiety were chosen and then interviewed. The selections were proposed to capture the heterogeneity among the students population and also to have comparisons to explain difference between setting, events, and individuals (Maxwell: 71-72, 2008:148).

3.3 Data Collection Procedure

In collecting the data the researcher used two instruments which were FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale) questionnaire proposed by Horwitz et al. (1986) and questionnaire of students’ experience in learning English that was made to meet the needs of this research to find out the sources of their anxiety in English classroom and also their strategies to cope with it. The selection of the participants was based on the several criteria: students’ classroom participation, attitude toward English class, English speaking proficiency, English test score, and their length of study. Due to the accuracy of the assessment and selection was fully given to their English teacher.

Firstly, the FLCAS questionnaire and the second questionnaire were administrated to thirty two second grade Junior High School students. Secondly, the questionnaires were collected and the data from FLCAS questionnaire were analyzed manually using Oetting’s scale to categorize students’ anxiety. The analyzed questionnaires were put into percentage diagram differentiating the anxiety level experienced by respondent.

The next step was an interview. It was administered to seek the possible source if

(20)

Dinar Simatupang, 2015

STUDENT’S SPEAKING ANXIETY IN ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) CLASSROOM Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

selected participants. The answer was analyzed based on some experts’ theory and compared with several study results.

The data obtained from the second questionnaires aimed at answering the research questions about the sources of students’ speaking anxiety and the strategies that students apply to reduce their anxiety. The clear explanation about this would be clearly explained on next chapter.

3.3.1 Questionnaires

In order to measure the degree of students’ speaking anxiety level, this study used the adaptation and translation of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) developed by Horwitz et al. (1986). This open-ended questionnaire has been used and validated by many researchers. FLCAS, in its function to measure the level of anxiety perceived by foreign language learners has been used by some researchers such as Aida (1994), Liu (2007), Sugiharti (2009), and Ariani (2010). It shows its high reliability and validity.

FLCAS consists of 33 questions with answers response options ranged from 1-5 of each item. The 5-point Likert’s scale is range from “Strongly Agree” (SA),”Agree” (A), “Neither Agree nor Disagree” (NA), “Disagree” (D), and “Strongly Disagree” (SD). This kind of questionnaire suited the participants’ language learning situation context related to the word “foreign language” used in the original FLCAS. It was consistently replaced the word “English”. Therefore, if the points are summed up by adding the each answer point of each statement, the score of students’ anxiety scale would range from 33 to 165. The higher the total score is, the more anxious the respondent and the more anxious the respondent is.

FLCAS consists of three main types of language anxiety in its questions, those

(21)

Dinar Simatupang, 2015

STUDENT’S SPEAKING ANXIETY IN ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) CLASSROOM Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

a. communication apprehension : 1,9.14, 18,24,27,29,32 b. test anxiety : 2,8,10,19,21 and

c. fear of negative evaluation : 3,7,13, 15,20,23,25,31,33

For the second kind of questionnaire was an open-ended questionnaire used to seek the students’ speaking anxiety sources and their strategies to cope with anxiety.

3.3.2 Interview

Based on the questionnaire analysis, semi-structured interviews were administrated to eight selected students in different level speaking of anxiety. The interview considered to fit this study because it tried to find freer response from participants of some basic ideas that need to cover. The interview recorded and transcribed was used to avoid “inaccuracy and incompleteness” data (Ibid: 171). Interview session lasted for 10 minutes for each participant. The interview was conducted by using Indonesian in order to avoid misunderstanding (Cresswell, 2012, p. 225). The students were given demographic information sheet to be filled out. It was used to obtain background information about the students which consisted of age, genre, English learning periods, and other languages used by the students.

3.4 Data Analysis

In order to answer the research questions above, data analysis was needed. The data analysis will be presented by each research question.

3.4.1. The Level of Students’ Anxiety

The levels of students’ anxiety were categorized using the Horwitz (1986). FLCA consisted of two kinds of statement which were positive and negative. The positive ranged from 1-5 with answer “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree”. There are 9 positive statements in the FLCA questionnaires 2,5,8,11,14,18,22,28, and 32.

(22)

Dinar Simatupang, 2015

STUDENT’S SPEAKING ANXIETY IN ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) CLASSROOM Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

“Strongly Disagree”. The negative statements are in number 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, and 33. . The data were calculated “very anxious”, “anxious”, “mildly anxious”, “Relaxed” and “Very relaxed

based on Oetting’s scale. The Likert’s scoring scale table to measure students’ anxiety level using FLCASD is shown below:

affects them negatively. Therefore, it is important for the English teacher to be aware of anxiety among their students.

Furthermore, based on the data obtained from questionnaire and interview, it was found that there were four strategies used by the students in overcoming their anxiety in speaking English: preparation, resignation, relaxation, positive thinking, and peer seeking. From the interview and second questionnaire data, it was found that preparation was

frequently used by the students of language program class followed by resignation, relaxation, positive thinking, and peer seeking. Moreover, the strategies could affect students’ performance in speaking task. Therefore, supportive and relaxing classroom atmosphere are needed by the English teacher.

5.2 Suggestions

After completing this present study and drawing the conclusion from the findings and discussion, there are at least three suggestions recommended in the present research.

Firstly, for English Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, this research was expected give a market benefit to English teacher in enhancing the knowledge on the speaking anxiety that students face in their speaking performance. Teacher should recognize that anxiety is one of the reasons of why the students having difficulties in learning process especially in speaking. By discovering what obstacles the students are facing when speaking English, it is also expected that teacher should create some different methods in teaching and learning activity that would reduce students’ speaking anxiety. The teacher could build a more supportive and friendly environment without being too tense in teaching their students.
