The attitude can be categorized into three components namely cognitive, affective/emotional, and behavioral. The study is focused on the emotional component which covers the person’s emotions and feeling towards an object. It can directly affect one’s preferences in order to stand for or against or to like or dislike something. Due to the pandemic situation where all the subjects must be done virtual, the researcher attempts to explore what are students’ emotional attitudes toward the virtual oral presentation. The researcher finds it interesting since virtual learning is an uncommon method for students, especially in doing an oral presentation as well as the novelty of the previous related study. The research objective is to find out the students’ emotional attitudes towards oral presentation in virtual learning, especially in the fifth semester of the English education study program at Pattimura University. This study applied a survey as a research design by using a Questionnaire and Interview. The subject of this study consists of fifteen students who enrolled in SLA class. The result of the questionnaire showed that most students in the second language acquisition (SLA) class held a positive attitude toward the virtual oral presentation. The majority or 12 students (80%) strongly agreed that the oral presentation in virtual learning is more fun and preferable. On the other hand, 11 students (73.3%) strongly agreed that it reduces their anxiety level and also improves their self-confidence. In conclusion, it benefits so much to improve their motivation in English virtual learning compared to face-to-face oral presentations. In a face-to-face class, they had high speaking anxiety by having a great fear of getting involved in a conversation, great fear of the audience, and a great fear of failure. In addition, further researchers can focus on the technology application in virtual learning and its impact on students’ language ability as the novelty element of this study.","PeriodicalId":31456,"journal":{"name":"English Review Journal of English Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41467517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are obliged to broaden knowledge in the field of their interest by conducting research. Unfortunately, academic writing has always been a serious challenge for them. Writing research articles indeed requires them to be familiar with the writing guidelines, particularly about how the ideas are developed. This present study is therefore intended to assist EFL learners, particularly those who have just started their academic writing experience. Insight and ideas on how to write a research article are presented in this paper. To do that, a qualitative methodology on discourse analysis was employed. The data was taken from a research article focusing on discourse marker comparisons between academic and non-academic writings. The article is broken down in detail to provide a clear picture of how it is constructed by the authors. The analysis revealed that even though it contains some minor weaknesses, the research article overall is well-written and follows the author guidelines.

It employed pre-experimental quantitative research. A number of 25 students from class X-3 were purposively chosen as the sample of this study. In collecting the data, the researchers used tests (pre-test and post-test) as the instrument, and the results were analyzed by using statistics. The results showed that the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test were 37.2 and 73.2, respectively. The mean score of the post-test was higher than the mean score of the pre-test, with the T-test value of 4,556, and the critical value in the t-table (0.05) of 1.711. This implies that the t-score is higher than the t-table (t- score = 4.534 t-table = 1.711), and thus the alternative hypothesis (Ha) of this research was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. In conclusion, teaching English by using the Mystery Box game to improve these EFL students’ speaking skills succeeded. Consequently, the use of this game is among the alternative media to be used by English teachers in augmenting their students’ skills in speaking English.
