Abstract

This study analyzes English pronunciation errors among Year 1 students at a Bilingual Community School in Bali, driven by the need to understand how learners’ first languages influence their ability to articulate English consonants. The aim is to identify recurring errors in voicing, place, and manner of articulation, and to examine the impact of native language interference in a bilingual learning context. The research objectives were achieved by employing a descriptive quantitative research design. Data were collected from 15 bilingual students through pronunciation tests consisting of 70 words, semi-structured interviews to probe linguistic background and pronunciation challenges, and video recordings to observe articulatory movements. Results revealed that, while most students mastered familiar English consonants, persistent errors were noted with sounds absent from their native languages, particularly /θ/, /ð/, /v/, /z/, and /ʃ/. The most frequent errors were characterized by the replacement of unfamiliar English sounds with closer native equivalents, especially in voicing contrasts and tongue placement. These systematic errors were found to be largely attributable to first language interference rather than random mistakes. New insights were provided by focusing on young bilinguals in a dual-language environment, demonstrating that complex interactions between multiple languages shaped distinct pronunciation difficulties. The findings highlighted the necessity of tailored phonetic instruction and focused classroom strategies to address language-specific pronunciation challenges in bilingual settings.

Abstract

This study explores the use of English in digital tour guiding by analyzing five YouTube videos that represent virtual tourism practices. The research aims to identify the linguistic, narrative, and technological strategies employed by guides in delivering online tour experiences. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis, the study examines how guides adapt their communication to suit international audiences in digitally mediated environments. The findings reveal that guides rely on simplified language, controlled pacing, and descriptive explanations to enhance comprehensibility. Audiovisual techniques such as camera movement, framing, and zooming play a crucial role in replacing physical gestures and supporting meaning-making. The study demonstrates that effective digital tour guiding requires the integration of English-mediated communication, cultural interpretation, and technological competence. These findings highlight the evolving nature of tour guiding in the digital era and emphasize the importance of multimodal communication in shaping virtual tourism experiences.
