The Impact

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) has a debilitating influence on the oral performance of EFL speakers. Over the past decade, most research in MALL has emphasized the use of mobile applications on improving language skills, but little research has explored the impact of using video recording tool to decrease foreign language speaking anxiety (FLSA). Hence, this study examines the effect of using video recording tool on students' EFL speaking anxiety. Twenty-eight pre-intermediate freshmen at Van Lang University, Vietnam, participated in a seven-week project. In this research, mixed method was used in combination with three data collection instruments: questionnaire, observation notes, semi-structured interview. The results indicated that video recording tool significantly lowers EFL speaking anxiety. Therefore, this study makes a major contribution to research on FLA by exploring freshmen's anxiety causes and its impacts on learners' oral performance and offering a technique to help them overcome that phobia: mobile phone video recording.

<p>The objective of this study is to examine the social life of beggars on the front stage and on the back stage residing in Joyotakan Village, Serengan, Surakarta, by using Dramaturgy Theory by Erving Goffman. This qualitative research uses the naturalistic inquiry method. In addition, the sampling technique uses purposive side and snowball sampling. Furthermore, the research informants taken are those who work as beggars. Data collection uses observation and in-depth interviews. The validity of the data uses triangulation of sources with the former management of Social Study Agency (LSK) Bina Bakat, and the head of the local neighborhood. The data analysis technique uses interactive analysis model from Miles and Huberman.</p><p>The results of the present research show that on the front stage, the actors act as <em>Me</em>, in order to be accepted by the audience. The setting of begging is done on the vital objects of the city such as the Great Mosque, PGS-BTC area, <em>Tugu Lilin</em> area, Jebres Police Station, <em>Matahari Singosaren</em>, <em>Indomaret Tipes</em>, and at Sebelas Maret University (UNS) and campus graduation events, and Surakarta Muhammadiyah University (UMS). In terms of appearance, they wear several attributes in the form of religious attributes (veils and prayer beads), supporting attributes (children, sling bags, plastic cups, and fingers), and general attributes (shirts, negligee, jackets, sandals, and clean clothes). They play sound, gesture, and expression as begging manner.The conclusion of the research is that theoretically the actor will play the role of <em>Me</em> on the front stage. However, in reality, <em>I</em> can also be seen when actors face disturbance in a show. The disturbance is in the form of rejection of the actors' presence; even the actors get a discrediting stigma from the audience, so that <em>I</em> appears as a response to the disorder. In the actors' social life of on the back stage, their human self will appear as <em>I</em>. However, the actors sometimes become <em>Me</em> when they have to take part in social activities that become the norm in society.</p>

The researchers used purposive sampling to select the participants of this research. Ten respondents from sophomore students of Department of the English Education at Teacher Training Faculty of Ar-Raniry State Islamic University in Aceh, Indonesia were selected by identifying their answers of Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety questionnaires developed by Horwitz et al. (1986). To have in-depth information on the subject matter, a semi-structured interview was employed. The results of this research showed that speaking anxiety caused some negative effects to Acehnese students’ speaking ability, which could be observed through the difficulties in constructing sentences and expressing the idea when they spoke in the target language. Low self-confidence, lack of competency, and being afraid of making mistakes were some of the factors considered as the major causes of speaking anxiety that could debilitate students’ classroom participation.

This research aimed to study natural dye plants used by Sambas and Sintang traditional weavers in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The study includes the kinds of plants used for natural dyes and it’s existence in people’s settlements. Weavers in Sintang and Sambas Regencies of West Kalimantan Province have been using natural dye plants gathered from the forests nearby.  However, forest degradation and conversion have reduced their existence. As a consequence, people begin to lose their natural dye resources. Besides, weavers use synthetic dyes because it is cheaper and more practical. Nowadays the trend ‘back to nature’ makes natural dye plants more valuable and reconsidered. The use of dye plants in traditional weaving adds their unique and inherent value, especially in the international market.  An ethnobotanical methodology of a semi-structured interview was carried out to study the dye plants used in Sambas and Sintang's traditional weaving to provide sustainable, eco-friendly dyes. The specific respondents were chosen using the Snowball Sampling Technique. The results showed that Sambas and Sintang weavers used  30 and 11 species, respectively, as dye plants.  A total of 36 species were used for Sambas and Sintang traditional weaving, five of which were used as natural dye both in Sintang and Sambas. The Important Value Index of the dye plants in the field varied from high to low, and a few plants did not exist in the resident vicinity. Engkerebang (Psychotria megacoma), emarek (Symplocos ophirensis), lengkar (Litsea angulata), belian (Eusideroxylon zwageri), and kayu kuning (Fibraurea chloroleuca) are considered as native dye plants from West Kalimantan that are important to be conserved.   Keywords: dye plants, ethnobotany, plant inventory, traditional weaving
