AbstrakDari empat keterampilan bahasa Inggris, keterampilan berbicara merupakan keterampilan yang paling sulit bagi siswa. Banyak alasan yang membuat siswa enggan berbicara bahasa Inggris, antara lain takut ditertawakan oleh temannya dan kurangnya rasa percaya diri. Faktor-faktor tersebut membuat siswa merasa cemas untuk berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris. Sejak diterapkannya pembelajaran dari rumah oleh pemerintah pusat akibat merebaknya Covid-19, siswa semakin tidak pernah berlatih berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris. Hal tersebut memperburuk tingkat kecemasan siswa untuk berbicara bahasa Inggris. Oleh karena itu, penelitian studi kasus kualitatif ini dilakukan untuk membantu mengurangi kecemasan siswa dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan zoom-storytelling, terutama ketika mereka diharuskan belajar dari rumah. FLCAS digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat kecemasan siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa zoom-storytelling dapat mengurangi tingkat kecemasan siswa dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris. Melalui kegiatan zoom-storytelling ini, siswa terbantu untuk mendapatkan pembelajaran tatap muka secara virtual meskipun tidak berada di sekolah. Kata kunci: Aplikasi Zoom, Storytelling, Speaking Anxiety.AbstractAmong the four English skills, speaking is the most difficult skill for students. Many reasons make students reluctant to speak English, including being afraid of being laughed at by their friends and lack of confidence. These factors make students anxious to speak English. Since the implementation of learning from home by the central government due to the outbreak of the Covid-19, students have increasingly never practiced speaking English. It worsens the level of students' anxiety to speak English. Therefore, this qualitative case study research was conducted to help to reduce students' anxiety in speaking English by using zoom-storytelling, especially when they were required to learn from home. FLCAS was used to measure the student's anxiety level. The results showed that zoom-storytelling can reduce students' level of anxiety in speaking English. Through this zoom-storytelling activity, students were helped to get learning face-to-face virtually even though they were not in school.Keywords: Zoom Application, Storytelling, Speaking Anxiety.

Qualitative case study research can be a valuable tool for answering complex, real-world questions. This method is often misunderstood or neglected due to a lack of understanding by researchers and reviewers. This tutorial defines the characteristics of qualitative case study research and its application to a broader understanding of stuttering that cannot be defined through other methodologies. This article will describe ways that data can be collected and analyzed.

Dual Case

Some methodologists have pointed to similarities between experimental method and case study research in terms of design, theory testing and development. However, little is known about how these debates inform qualitative research rationales. The use of a sequential dual case study provided an opportunity to examine these issues and their impact on the unfolding research process. The interplay of inductive and deductive approaches was evident throughout in decisions determining the nature of the research enquiry.

This qualitative case study research was conducted to understand the perception of women in non-traditional occupations in Nepalese context. Seven participants from four nontraditional occupations, namely electrical, motorcycle mechanics (automobile), light vehicle driving and mechanical lathe operator were selected from Kathmandu valley. The data were collected using interview and focus group discussion.The findings revealed that involvement of Nepalese women in non-traditional occupations are very nominal. It is due to the conventional thinking towards women that they should do only the household chores. Non-traditional occupations for Nepalese women have not been women-friendly, however, they may if they do not feel inferior to male and avoid hesitation to work in these professions. The biggest challenge for women in these professions is the societal disbelief on the women’s work. They are behaved with suspicion by people and the society. Leg pulling and backbiting nature of people towards women in this profession are also the serious problems for them.  Nevertheless, the female participants have got support from their family and organizations. Moreover, they have played significant roles from beginning to date to inspire them to continue their work.
