Abstract

English as an international language is very important for students to learn in madrasas. One of the problems that students often face when learning English is speaking competence. To overcome these problems, one of them can be taken by implementing Project-Based Learning (PBL). This study aims to determine the effect of PBL implementation on improving the English speaking capacity of MA Diponegoro students. In addition, this study also aims to determine the changes in the attitudes of MA Diponegoro students after the implementation of the PBL learning model. The source of data for this study is 23 students of Class X MA Diponegoro Yogyakarta, 2 students of the English Literature Study Program of UIN Sunan Kalijaga who have completed the previous TEFL Methodology course and in this study act as PBL teachers, as well as 2 lecturers and 1 alumnus of the English Literature Study Program as observers. This study uses an interactive analysis method in the process of analyzing students' English language capacity and attitudes during PBL and data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation over a period of 3 months. The results showed that of the 23 students, all experienced significant changes in English speaking capacity (fluency, pronunciation & accent, grammar, vocabulary and details), although none of the students had really reached the excellent level. It can also be concluded that the final product of PBL in the form of English speeches that are done in pairs, uploaded to the school's YouTube channel, competed and given awards have a positive effect on changing students' attitudes, where they become more confident in practicing English speaking, motivated to dare to be active in class, and comfortable working together to complete speech projects. This kind of PBL model has the potential to be developed for MBKM activities.

Abstract

As a lingua franca, the acquisition of English as second and foreign language has been strongly influenced by the first language of the speakers. This influence which is commonly called interferences has been pronounced especially in the pronunciation where the second language production of speech is highly affected by the first language phonological inventory. The differences in the phonological system of Igbo spoken by Nigerian and English, thus, are interesting to be investigated due to the wide differences of both phonological systems. This research addresses phonological interferences of Igbo in the pronunciation of English vowels /ʌ/ and /eɪ/. A qualitative case study approach was conducted using Weinrich’s framework of phonological interference. The findings show that the realization of phoneme /ʌ/ experience under-differentiation in initial position where it is consistently substituted with /ɔ/. However, in medial position, it is variably substituted with /ɔ/ or /ə/, which indicates that other influences may be involved. Meanwhile, the substitution of the diphthong /eɪ/ demonstrates a clear case of actual phone substitution either in the medial position or in the final position. The sounds used for substitution are phonologically similar to the target diphthong, which indicates that the pattern of replacement is predictable rather than random. This systematic replacement of one phoneme with its closest L1 equivalent confirms that the observed interference is a direct case of actual phone substitution. The observed interference patterns, while consistent, are based on a limited dataset. Therefore, further research with a larger sample size is needed for generalization.
