This research investigates the impact of the mind mapping technique on enhancing students’ vocabulary achievement. Employing a pre-experimental research design, data were gathered through the administration of pre-tests and post-tests. The study population consisted of eleventh-grade students from SMPN 1 Tellu Limpoe, with a sample of 30 students selected through cluster random sampling. The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement in vocabulary achievement following the implementation of the mind mapping technique. The results of the T-test analysis show a T-value of 0.001, which is considerably lower than the predetermined significance level of 0.05, indicating a meaningful effect. Furthermore, the N-Gain score analysis categorizes the level of improvement as a medium category. These outcomes suggest that the mind mapping technique contributes significantly to enhancing students’ vocabulary achievement.

Developing listening skills in learning English as a foreign language poses several challenges, particularly when using audio-visual media. This study investigates the obstacles encountered by students during the learning process. Based on data collected from six Grade XI students at SMAN 2 Pangkep through non-participant observation, semi structured interviews, and documentation, the findings reveal four main types of obstacles. Linguistic barriers include difficulties in understanding vocabulary and various English accents. Technical obstacles involve problems such as poor device quality or unstable internet connectivity. Cognitive challenges emerge when students struggle to maintain focus or process the information effectively. Additionally, environmental factors, such as noise or other distractions in the learning environment, further hinder comprehension. These challenges significantly affect students' ability to engage with audio-visual materials and highlight the need for supportive strategies in enhancing listening skills.

Based on the result of the analysis, the researcher concludes that the students made errors in the pronunciation of the words containing silent letters. After analyzing all the data obtained, the researcher found word types of error made by students in Culinary 2 of SMKN 6 MAKASSAR in pre-systematic errors and systematic errors. The dominant type of student pronunciation error is a pre-systematic error. when the researcher analyzed the students' errors directly, the fact is that they did not realize their errors at all. Moreover, the students were not fully aware of evaluating and correcting their pronunciation. It can be concluded, that in pre-systematic errors, the students were at the stage of random guessing where they were vaguely aware of the rules. The students were unaware of some rules because they had no guidance about words in silent letters. Students themselves cannot explain how the error occurred. They could not correct it in silent letters even though the researcher pointed it out. Besides, in the systematic error, the students are familiar with silent letter words but they do not know when or how to apply them in a sentence. The students do not know the silent letter rule in pronunciation, and how to pronounce the words in the silent letters.
