Listening skill is an ability to understand a spoken language. It is also one of the important skills that people actively use in their daily lives. For learning English language at the Faculty of Language and Arts (FLA) at Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW) Salatiga, Indonesia, there are several listening classes. One of them is Intensive Listening class, which is often considered as one of the most difficult listening classes by freshmen. Freshmen seem to be quite anxious in attending this class, and because of that anxiety, it is hard for them to attend the class comfortably. Even though not all freshmen thought that way, listening is still often considered as a complex skill, even among sophomores or older students. Thus, this research aims to investigate students' sources of anxiety and ways to remedy it. The participants in this study were 2017 students. The population was 80 students of four parallel intensive listening classes and all the students were selected as the respondents. In other words, the whole population was used as the sample of this study. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. Findings revealed that 46 out of 80 students admitted that they felt anxious while the remaining 34 students admitted they did not feel anxious during the intensive listening. In this research, the symptoms, levels, and the reasons for being anxious in the intensive listening class are explained.

Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) terdiri dari penerimaan pajak, retribusi dan penerimaan lain yang sah. Peningkatan Pendapatan Asli Daerah didominasi oleh kontribusi penerimaan pajak dan retribusi. Pendapatan Asli Daerah sebaiknya terus selalu meningkat agar dapat menanggung beban penyelenggaraan yang dilakukan pemerintah dan pembangunan daerah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah ingin mengetahui tentang analisis pendapatan regional di Kota Batam. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif yang mana para metode ini tergolong cepat dalam memprosesnya. Hasil yang bisa ditarik pada penelitian ini adalah salah satu pendapatan daerah Batam adalah dari sektor pariwisata. Selain itu, pajak juga merupakan pendapatan dari suatu daerah. PDA membutuhkan keduanya untuk meningkatkan pendapatan suatu daerah. Tapi karena pandemi ini pendapatan menjadi berkurang, banyak bisnis pariwisata tutup dan pariwisata tidak bisa masuk ke negara Indonesia. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan analisis terhadap pendapatan daerah Kota Batam dari tahun ke tahun. Pada akhirnya pendapatan dimasa pandemi ini berdampak pada absennya wisatawan dan ditutupnya berbagai bidang yang terkait dengan pariwisata berdampak sangat signifikan terhadap pendapatan kota Batam.
