Abstract

This study aims to introduce English and empower non-English teachers at SD Negeri Pantai Tinjau, a rural school without formal English lessons. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the program was implemented over three days with participatory and applicative methods. Activities included basic English introduction for grades 1–3 through nursery rhymes, a creative workshop for grades 4–6 to produce Classroom Expression Posters, and teacher training on using Vocabulary Wall and Classroom Expression Posters. The findings showed that students were enthusiastic and more willing to use simple English expressions, while teachers reported increased confidence in integrating English vocabulary into their lessons. The results indicate that simple, low-cost, and participatory media can effectively foster English exposure in rural schools and support teacher readiness, making it a viable model for replication in similar contexts.

Abstract

Studying the orderly arrangement and purpose of speech sounds in a language is essential to understanding phonology. Phonemes, the smallest units of sound that define meaning, are the subject of phonology, which also studies how these sounds are patterned and controlled by phonotactics, stress, and intonation. Phonology examines the abstract, conceptual representations of sounds and their language functions, in contrast to phonetics, which examines the physical production and acoustic characteristics of sounds. Identifying phonemes, their allophones (variations), and the principles that explain sound alterations in various contexts—such as assimilation and deletion—are all part of phonological analysis. The flap realization of /t/ and /d/ sounds between vowels and the pronunciation variants of the plural morpheme -s ([s], [z], [ɪz]) are two examples of English phonological rules. All things considered, phonology offers crucial information about how sounds work to transmit meaning and structure in language communication.
