Abstract

Speaking skill, which involves the ability to communicate orally, demands self-confidence and composure when interacting with others. Furthermore, speaking in the English language poses a significant challenge for many students, often inducing nerves and anxiety. The purpose of this research was to examine the correlation between students' learning anxiety and their speaking skills at the lower secondary school level. To investigate this relationship, a quantitative research approach with a correlation design was adopted. The data collection involved the administration of a questionnaire (FLCAS) to assess students' learning anxiety and an English-speaking test to evaluate their speaking skills. The questionnaire used in this study was adapted from the work of Horwitz et al. (1986) to measure students' learning anxiety. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS Program version 25. The target population for this English-speaking of all second-grade students, totaling 102 individuals. Through simple random sampling, 41 students were selected as respondents.

Abstract

To be certified as professional English teachers, Indonesian teachers must complete the teacher profession education program (TPEP) offered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia. Due to a lack of discussion and research on the motivation of inservice English teachers participating in the TPEP, this study explored the TPEP-related motivation of in-service English teachers. There were 80 inservice English teachers who joined the TPEP at a reputable private university in Indonesia participated in this mixed-method study. A survey questionnaire was distributed to the in-service teachers to know their motivation regarding the TPEP. The findings indicated that the majority of the in-service English teachers were highly motivated to participate in the TPEP. They also thought that TPEP was beneficial for teachers as it enhanced their knowledge and skills in teaching. Through the TPEP they learned to use innovative strategies to teach English such as project-based learning and problem-based learning. This implies that more in-service English teachers should be encouraged to join TPEP to develop their competencies.
