Abstract

For final semester students, the thesis writing period is a challenging time. It takes mental strength, and physical because there can be many stages to go through. In the final stage, students can present the results of their research in front of the examining lecturer. This process is often feared by students. The reason is, students can be asked using various questions from examiners about the research. So it is not strange that students feel daunted and afraid. So that not a few students experience mental health problems during the thesis making process. This study aims to explore the emotional experiences of final year EFL students during the process of working on a thesis. The method used in this study was to use narrative inquiry. The research data obtained from the results of virtual interviews were analyzed using an emotional geography framework by Hargreaves.
