Abstract

The Effectiveness of Using Instagram Social Media to Improve Vocabulary Mastery of Eleventh Grade Students at SMA Negeri 4 Purworejo in The Academic Year of 2025/2026. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using Instagram as a learning medium to improve vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Purworejo. The research employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 30 eleventh-grade students selected from the population. Data were collected using a multiple-choice vocabulary test consisting of 30 items, administered before and after the treatment. The treatment involved vocabulary instruction using Instagram features such as posts, captions, and visual content. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the mean score of students increased from 60.33 in the pre-test to 78.67 in the post-test. The paired sample t-test result indicated a significance value of 0.000, which is lower than 0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference between students’ vocabulary mastery before and after using Instagram. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Instagram social media is effective in improving vocabulary mastery of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Purworejo

Abstract

English pronunciation plays an important role in achieving effective oral communication, yet many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners experience difficulties in producing English sounds that do not exist in their native language. Among these sounds, the English affricative consonants /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ are often problematic for Indonesian learners. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and analyze the pronunciation errors, particularly the substitution patterns, of the English affricative consonant sounds /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ produced by first-year English Education students. This research employed descriptive qualitative design supported by simple quantitative analysis. The participants were 17 first-year students selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through a pronunciation test consisting of 20 words containing the target sounds in initial, medial, and final positions, and the students’ pronunciations were recorded in video form. The findings revealed a total of 39 pronunciation errors, all of which (100%) were classified as substitution errors. The sound /dʒ/ was more frequently mispronounced than /tʃ/. Pronunciation errors occurred in all sound positions, with the highest frequency found in the initial and medial positions (38.46% each), followed by the final position (23.08%). The dominant substitution patterns were /d/ /j/, /d/ /g/, /tʃ/ → /k/, and /tʃ/ → /s/. These findings indicate that students tended to replace English affricative consonants with more familiar non-affricative sounds. The study highlights the need for targeted pronunciation instruction and systematic drilling activities focusing on English affricative consonants to improve students’ pronunciation accuracy and communicative intelligibility.

Abstract

Word stress is an important suprasegmental feature that affects speech intelligibility and effective oral communication. However, many Indonesian EFL learners still experience difficulties in producing correct English word stress patterns. This study aimed to identify the types and frequency of word stress errors made by first-year students of the English Language Education Study Program at Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo when pronouncing English trisyllabic words. A descriptive qualitative design supported by simple quantitative analysis was employed. The participants were 17 first-year students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a pronunciation test consisting of 20 trisyllabic English words. The students’ pronunciations were recorded and phonetically transcribed. The data were analyzed by comparing the students’ pronunciations with standard English word stress patterns, identifying and classifying the errors into lack of stress, misplaced stress, and overstress, and calculating the frequency and percentage of each error type. The findings showed that, out of 340 pronunciation tokens, 178 (52%) were pronounced correctly, while 162 (48%) contained word stress errors. The highest error rates were found in the words relaxing, election, development, and occasion (76.47%). Three types of errors were identified: lack of stress (49.38%), misplaced stress (42.59%), and overstress (8.02%). These findings indicate that students still face difficulties in producing correct English word stress and require more focused pronunciation instruction and practice.
