This quantitative study aimed to examine the level of speaking anxiety experienced by second-year high-school Acehnese EFL learners in their oral performance in L2 classroom and to investigate the attempt to lower their anxiety through the implementation of selective error correction and group work. The Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Scale (Horwitz et al., 1986) was used as a means to survey and evaluate the learners’ speaking anxiety, and their oral performance was assessed through speaking performance rubric as adopted from Ismailia (2021) before and after the learners’ exposure to selective error correction and group work. The findings showed that a high level of speaking anxiety was found in the majority of the learners, and that the use of selective error correction and group work for the treatment of speaking anxiety overall resulted in the learners’ improved performance in their oral task. The findings highlighted the needs to create a positive and supportive educational environment that stimulates learners to freely experiment with L2 and to establish close-knit learning communities that promote authentic interactions in L2 and provide opportunities to be more engaged in oral language use.
本定量研究旨在探讨亚齐二年级英语学习者在第二语言课堂口语表现中所经历的口语焦虑水平，并探讨通过实施选择性纠错和小组合作来降低焦虑的尝试。采用《外语口语焦虑量表》(Horwitz et al.， 1986)对学习者的口语焦虑进行调查和评价，采用Ismailia(2021)的口语表现量表对学习者进行选择性纠错和小组作业前后的口语表现进行评估。研究结果表明，大多数学习者都有高度的口语焦虑，使用选择性纠错和小组工作来治疗口语焦虑总体上提高了学习者在口语任务中的表现。研究结果强调需要创造一个积极和支持性的教育环境，刺激学习者自由地尝试第二语言，建立紧密的学习社区，促进第二语言的真实互动，并提供更多参与口语使用的机会。

Abstract:- This study investigates the similarities and differences between Baggara Arabs dialect and English language phonological systems. It aims at preparing a scale for the difficulties of English pronunciation that face Baggara Arabs students, as well as enabling Baggara Arabs learners of English Language to pronounce English sounds or phonemes and words accurately. It uses the semi-experimental approach . In addition pre and post-tests are used as tools for gathering data. 30 secondary school students were chosen as a reasonable sample to represent the secondary school students at Elddein locality in East Dar Fur State. The study comes out with many results: The phonological rules of English facilitates Baggara students to speak and pronounce English fluently. The phonological system of English is different from Baggras dialect and that they undergo some difficulties. The recommendations of the study are listed as: The researchers should get benefit from this study in contrastive analysis in other dialects to establish inter-lingual identifications between the L1 and the L2. They should also get benefit from the prediction of learning problems that they face while learning English language (Phonology an Phonetics). This study can also be used as a reference study to accomplish more and deep studies on other tribal dialects in Sudan.
