Abstract

Language is something that humans have from birth, both verbal and nonverbal. Every child's language development is different. In the early stages, children will use simple words to express what they want to say. Late talker refers to delays the development of spoken language in children, including delays in understanding language, pronouncing words correctly, and the ability to speaking fluently. This study aims to: 1. Explore the phonological processes produced by late talkers; and 2. Explore the dominant sound errors that occur in late talkers. The samples were 15 late talkers aged 3-5 years. The method used qualitative, the data was collected by observation and using the PRAAT software to analyze the pronunciation errors. PRAAT is software written and maintained by Paul Boersma and David Weenink from the University of Amsterdam. The findings show that there are 26 processes, namely lateral substitution, flap substitution, palatal fronting, onset deletion, velarization, cluster reduction, velar fronting, approximats substitution, affricates substitution, devoicing, favorite sound, voicing, nasalization, consonant vowel interaction, nasal simplification, vowel lowring, other harmony patterns (labial targeting coronal, labial targeting dorsal, coronal targeting dorsal), /s/-clusters, harmony targeting coronal, positional variation, syllable deletion, fricativization, final consonant deletion, reduplication, coda cluster simplification, and vowel raising. Late talkers employ velar fronting (41%), lateral substitution (40%), and cluster reduction (19%). The conclusion from this research is that late talkers employ 26 different processes and the process preferred by late talkers is changing velar consonants (k, g, ŋ) into alveolar consonants (t, d, s, z, n, l, r).

Abstract

This study investigates the use of nonverbal communication (NVC), namely gestures, in the narrative exercises of students at SMAN 1 Semaka. The objective is to determine and classify the precise types and frequencies of gestures used. The use of ELAN software allows for a thorough study, which shows that specific gestures, such as Open Hands (OP) and Head Tilting (HT), are commonly employed and have a substantial impact on improving the delivery of a narrative. On the other hand, gestures such as Hands on Hips (HH) and Hand on Cheek (HCH) were not frequently seen, indicating that their significance may vary depending on the situation and the individual's way of expressing a tale. This study highlights the significance of incorporating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) into educational methods in order to enhance students' proficiency in communication and storytelling. This study enhances our overall comprehension of nonverbal communication in educational environments and emphasises the usefulness of technological tools such as ELAN in furthering educational research.

Abstract

Effective pronunciation and vocabulary acquisition are essential in English language learning, particularly for non-native speakers. Drilling and word repetition techniques are widely regarded as effective strategies for enhancing linguistic skills. This study examines the implementation and perceived effectiveness of these techniques in improving pronunciation, vocabulary, and comprehension among eleventh-grade students at SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire comprising 25 questions, designed to assess students’ confidence, interest, and perceptions of the effectiveness of these methods. Out of 60 students, 29 participated, sharing valuable insights into their experiences and attitudes toward drilling and repetition techniques. The findings reveal that these methods are effective in improving pronunciation, grammatical understanding, and text comprehension. They also boost students’ confidence and interest by offering opportunities for repeated practice and corrective feedback. However, challenges such as pronunciation difficulties and a lack of confidence were reported, highlighting the need for adaptive and supportive teaching practices. This study underscores the importance of integrating repetitive learning approaches into English instruction to foster effective and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

Education is a right for every individual. For students with mental disorders, teaching English poses a unique challenge that requires teachers to find effective teaching media for vocabulary instruction. This study aims to identify phonological errors of students with intelectual disabilities learning vocabulary and explore how to teach vocabulary to students with intelectual disabilities using flashcards the research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, involving observation and auditory analysis to identify four voice recordings from students with different intelectual disabilities. The results reveal that students who experienced ADHD and communication disorder showed good engagement during the learning process, but encountered pronunciation errors. Meanwhile, students with autism and slow learning experienced difficulties in both participating in learning activities and pronunciation. These difficulties are caused by intelectual disabilities affecting their socialization abilities and leading to learning delays. Based on these findings, it can be said that the use of flashcards is effective as a vocabulary-learning medium for students with mild mental disorders. However, for students with more severe mental disorders, a more authentic approach is required. This is important for educators to understand students’ conditions in determining the appropriate teaching media.

Abstract

Teachers’ language intervention can play a key role in helping students in the classroom interaction to learn a foreign language. In this paper, we discuss the teacher’s language intervention for phonological aspects in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. We used a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological research design. As the data, we recorded the language exchanges between the students and their teachers at the fifth year of a Primary School (Sekolah Dasar) in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. We categorized three types of teachers’ language intervention, i.e. focalization, correction, and solicitation. Focalization intervention is manifested by the production of a lexical element. The intervention was observed in three situations, namely when reading familiar and unfamiliar English short stories, and playing a game with cards containing English words with their respective pictures, introduced in the stories. The teachers’ language interventions were coded in relation to phonological aspects, i.e. phoneme, syllable, and rhyme. The results show that there are 159 interventions in total. The teachers’ language interventions have the number of speech turns and the duration of the interactions varied in accordance with the context of situation, the Speech-turns mostly occur in reading unfamiliar English stories either for focalization, correction, or solicitation. Thus, this study concluded that teachers intervened more often in reading time of unfamiliar English stories, used focalization more frequently in the intervention, and utilized syllables more preferably as the focus in the intervention. As the implication, variability in the frequency and nature of interventions by the teachers could be at the origin of the differences observed in the performance of students.

Abstract

Phonological awareness has been claimed as one of the significant factors in learning to read. This paper reported our research on students' phonological awareness in EFL classrooms. We wanted to examine whether the phonological awareness tasks correlate with reading accuracy. Firstly, we analyzed their phonological awareness in the tasks of identification, substitution, addition, and deletion in English phonemes and syllables. Then, we discussed the relationship between phonological awareness and reading skills. We observed the students (N=143) of the even semesters (II, IV, VI, and VIII) at the English Education Department (Academic Year 2021/2022), Universitas Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. From the complete task of knowing students' phonological awareness that has been carried out, there was an increase in the average score from Semester II to Semester VIII students. The highest mean score was found in the student's test scores of Semester VIII (91.2; SD 6.3) and the lowest for Semester II students (62.5; SD 11.4). To test whether the phonological awareness tasks correlated with reading accuracy, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) was calculated, and the results showed that the reading accuracy had a positive correlation either for the phoneme (r = 0.472) and syllable (r = 0.534) tasks and the correlation was significant (p < .01).

Abstract

Phonetic symbols play a crucial role in linguistics by providing a systematic means to represent the phonological attributes of words, encompassing both pronunciation and orthographic manifestations. Their primary function is to enhance the identification and comprehension of words in spoken and written language contexts. In the realm of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), this study explores the utilization of phonetic symbols to enhance students’ clarity and understanding when engaging with the English lexicon. This application is integrated into the framework of the lexical approach, a pedagogical paradigm that underscores the significance of mastering vocabulary and language components such as collocations, phrases, and idiomatic expressions. The participants were 46 students enrolled in phonetics and phonology courses at the English Language Education Department, Bandar Lampung University, Indonesia. The research design follows a classroom action research model, aiming to enhance students’ listening skills through the strategic incorporation of phonetic symbols within the lexical approach framework. Based on observations and assessments, the study reveals that proficiency in recognizing and differentiating phonetic symbols contributes to students’ comprehension of words embedded in spoken texts. Furthermore, the results from the testing phase indicate that 36 out of 46 students achieved a passing score of 75 or higher, reflecting a success rate of 78%. This achievement aligns with the predetermined research success criteria, highlighting the positive impact of incorporating phonetic symbols within the lexical approach for improving students’ language skills. The implications suggest that incorporating phonetic symbols within the lexical approach framework can serve as a valuable pedagogical strategy for educators aiming to enhance students listening skills and overall language proficiency in an EFL context.

Abstract

This study investigates the acoustic differences in student-produced voice during speed reading with and without a teleprompter in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. The research aims to examine how teleprompter-assisted reading affects fluency, prosody, and pronunciation. A quasi-experimental quantitative design was conducted with 30 senior high school students who were members of the English Club at SMA Al Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung. Each participant performed three reading tasks: without a teleprompter, with a teleprompter at 1% speed, and with a teleprompter at 50% speed. Recordings were analyzed using Praat software to measure pitch, intensity, duration, and pronunciation errors. The findings showed no significant differences in pitch and intensity (p .05). However, reading duration was significantly longer at 1% speed (p .05), indicating more deliberate articulation. Descriptive results also revealed fewer pronunciation errors at 1% speed than at 50% speed. These findings suggest that adjusting teleprompter speed can optimize speech clarity, making teleprompters a valuable tool for improving EFL learners’ fluency and accuracy in public speaking training.
