Abstract

         The schwa vowel (/?/) is the most frequently occurring vowel in English and plays an important role in natural speech. Although previous studies have examined schwa pronunciation among Indonesian EFL learners, few have analyzed errors based on word position and error type, particularly among students who have studied phonetics and phonology. This study aimed to analyze students’ schwa pronunciation errors according to word position and error category. A descriptive quantitative design was employed involving 15 fourth-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Mahaputra Muhammad Yamin, Solok. Using total sampling, data were collected through a pronunciation test consisting of 30 English words containing schwa sounds in initial, medial, and final positions. The data were analyzed using error analysis procedures. The results showed that pronunciation errors occurred in all word positions, with the highest error rate in medial-position schwa (37%), followed by final-position (29%) and initial-position schwa (13%). Substitution was the most frequent error type (25%), while omission errors were rare (2%) and no addition errors were found. These findings indicate that students’ pronunciation difficulties were mainly influenced by first-language interference, limited phonological awareness, and inadequate understanding of English stress patterns. Further studies with larger and more diverse samples are recommended.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to support the readiness of twelfth-grade students at SMKN 3 Kota Solok in preparing for the English Academic Ability Test (TKA). The activity was developed in response to several challenges identified during the preliminary needs analysis, including limited familiarity with TKA question formats, ineffective reading strategies, inadequate academic vocabulary, and difficulties in managing time during tests. An educative-participatory approach was implemented through interactive lectures, strategy demonstrations, guided practice, and collaborative discussion of test items. The training focused on practical test-taking strategies, including skimming and scanning techniques, identifying main ideas and keywords, eliminating implausible answer choices, and managing time effectively. Based on observations during the training, students’ practice activities, and participant reflections, the program indicated positive changes in students’ understanding of TKA question characteristics, the use of reading strategies, time-management awareness, and confidence in approaching literacy-based assessments. The findings suggest that explicit strategy instruction combined with authentic test simulation can provide meaningful learning experiences that support students’ academic and psychological preparedness for literacy-based assessments. The approach also offers a practical model for assisting vocational high school students in preparing for the English TKA.

Abstract

         This study examines EFL students’ ability in answering the Structure and Written Expression section of a TOEFL prediction test. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the participants were 10 seventh-semester students of the English Education Department at UMMY Solok in the 2023/2024 academic year. Data were collected through a 40-item TOEFL prediction test. The results indicate that students’ performance was categorized as poor in both sections. In the Structure section, the average number of correct answers was 5 (33%), while in the Written Expression section, the average was 10 (40%). The findings reveal that students experienced difficulties, particularly in identifying verb tenses. Therefore, it is recommended that students undertake more systematic preparation to improve their grammatical competence before taking the TOEFL test.

Abstract

        Curriculum reform in Indonesia has led to the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes learner autonomy, flexibility, and student-centered learning. Teachers play a central role in translating this reform into classroom practice; however, empirical studies capturing teacher voices in elementary English education remain limited. This study explores English teachers’ perceptions of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation in elementary schools during the 2024/2025 academic year. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from eight English teachers in five private elementary schools through a structured questionnaire and supported by semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that teachers expressed predominantly positive perceptions of the curriculum. Specifically, 64% of responses indicated agreement regarding alignment with ministerial regulations, while 63% reflected positive perceptions of English teaching practices under the Merdeka Curriculum. Interview findings further showed that teachers valued the curriculum’s flexibility and its support for active and contextualized English learning, although challenges related to curriculum terminology, instructional preparation, and student engagement were also identified. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating teacher perspectives in curriculum reform and underscore the need for continuous professional development to ensure effective implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary English learning.

Abstract

         This study examines the performance evaluation of Field Practice (PLK) students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UMMY Solok in 2025 based on assessments from partner schools. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, collecting data through structured questionnaires distributed to supervising teachers at partner schools. Six key competency areas were assessed: professional ethics, communication skills, technology integration, teamwork and collegial collaboration, self-development and reflective practice, and teaching competence. The results indicate that PLK students demonstrated strong performance across all evaluated dimensions, with 100% of respondents rating teamwork and collegial collaboration, self-development and reflective practice, and teaching competence as "Good", while ethics and technology integration received 75% "Good" ratings and communication skills achieved 50% "Very Good" and 50% "Good" ratings. No "Sufficient" or "Poor" ratings were recorded in any category. These findings suggest that the PLK program at FKIP UMMY Solok effectively prepares pre-service teachers with essential competencies required in school settings, though continuous improvement in ethics and technology integration remains necessary.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is one of the essential skills tested in the TOEFL Paper-Based Test (PBT), and the Mini Talks section is often considered the most challenging. Students must concentrate on fast-paced monologues containing dense information and answer several questions at once. Observations and interviews revealed that many students failed to capture key details, lacked strategies to filter important information, and struggled to handle multiple questions within a short time. Based on these problems, this study aimed to describe the students’ listening ability and identify the difficulties they faced when answering Mini Talks questions in the TOEFL PBT. This study used a descriptive quantitative method. The participants were 16 eighth-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Mahaputra Muhammad Yamin, Solok, in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected using a listening test focusing on the Mini Talks section, and the students’ scores were analyzed to determine their average performance and the easiest and most difficult question types. The results showed that the students’ average score in the Mini Talks section was 47.7, categorized as “fair.” The easiest question type was purpose (68.8%), while the most difficult was attitude and opinion (34.4%). The findings indicate that students had the most difficulty interpreting tone, making inferences, and identifying key information from audio played only once. This study suggests the need for more targeted listening practice and effective teaching strategies to improve students’ performance in the TOEFL PBT listening section.
