This study investigates the challenges encountered by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in developing High-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), with a specific focus on the formulation of thesis statements in essay writing. As proficient essay writing necessitates the application of critical thinking skills, we examine the hurdles faced by EFL students during this cognitive process. Through a comprehensive analysis, this research sheds light on the specific difficulties and explores potential avenues for enhancing HOTS development in the context of thesis statement construction. The findings contribute valuable insights to pedagogical strategies aimed at fostering advanced cognitive skills among EFL learners. Thus, this study tried to analyze students’ thesis statement . The results of analysis revealed that students’ thesis statements could be categorized into good thesis statements. Based on the 14 students’ thesis statement in their essay the students’ score got 70.71, with categories as good.  And the results also show that the average level of the students’ analyzing (C4) tends to be higher compared than the evaluating (C5) and creating (C6) levels, namely 85.71 (C4), 78.57 (C5), and 55.35 (C6).

Abstract

The study is aimed at finding out the anxiety levels and possible factors that provoke the students’ anxiety. The study was conducted on 55 Information System students of Prabumulih University. To gain the data needed, a set of questionnaires consisting of 33 items was distributed to the students. The questionnaires were referred to the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) designed by Horwitz et al. (1986). It aims to predict learners’ foreign language anxiety in the classroom in three domains: (1) communication apprehension; (2) test anxiety; and (3) fear of negative evaluation. Results show that (1) the students generally experienced a mildly anxious level with a mean of 90; (2), worry about failing exams, worry about making mistakes, low self-esteem, and less preparation are the factors that provoke the anxiety. The results reveal that the students’ anxiety is at a level that can be managed easily but if left unaddressed, it can lead to a higher level. Lecturers are expected to help students manage the students’ anxiety by paying attention to the factors that contribute to their anxiety.

The data source of this research was the Recess Therapy YouTube channel. This research applied the qualitative research method defined by Creswell (2013). This research used an observational method to collect the data. In analyzing data, the researchers applied the identification method and identity technique. The result of this research the researchers found 364 data that were categorized into three types. There were 180 data that indicated personal references. Next, there were 97 data categorized as demonstrative references and the last, there were 87 data indicated comparative references. Grammatical cohesion is critical in this process because it provides the language processes required to link, organize, and express meaning within written speech. Recognizing the significance of grammatical cohesiveness is critical for those who want to improve their communication abilities since it allows them to produce coherent structures, and effective.

To describe and analyze the data, this study used a qualitative research design by Creswell, the method of collecting by note-taking and highlighting the data and analyzing data by summarizing the data based on inflection and derivation proposed by Sudaryanto. To facilitate the identification of derivation and inflectional affixations, the writers employ a table to categorize each affixation process. The focus of this investigation is on English words that undergo derivational and inflectional affixation processes. The data for analysis are derived from a written text; therefore, the documentation method is utilized for this study. The findings reveal a total of 47 affixes present in the analyzed articles, consisting of both derivation and inflectional affixes. Among them, 17 affixes are classified as derivations, while the remaining 29 are inflections. The author concludes that the article "Tory Gloom M About the Triple By-Election Test" contains words that have undergone an affixation process, both derivational and inflectional and it turns out that there are more inflectional than derivational. Hopefully, this research can add insight to readers or can be a reference for readers who want to research morphology or, more precisely, the process of affixation.

Abstract

This paper exposes anxiety and its coping mechanism towards mindfulness in Joe Eurell’s flash fiction entitled The Shooter’s Moment of Mindfulness. This paper employs qualitative method with closed reading as data collection technique and content analysis as data analysis technique. Through Freud’s paradigm of reality anxiety, the story is analyzed to explore the protagonist’s disturbances of mood, as well as of thinking, behavior, and physiological activities. The main character’s experiences in combat scenarios highlights how the protagonist’s mindfulness moments function as a temporary situation from the anxieties rooted in external dangers, unconscious conflicts, and moral dilemmas. In conclusion, anxiety is always temporary while mindfulness remains forever. Psychological turmoil could always be coped up with ideas and practices of prolonged mindfulness.
