Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by native Fataluku speakers in learning English pronunciation and the potential confusion experienced by native English speakers when interacting with Fataluku speakers who are currently learning English. These challenges arise due to phonetic differences between the two languages which can affect the effectiveness of cross-language communication. This study used voice recordings from native Fataluku speakers and analyzed consonant and vowel sounds by applying the Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM). This model allows the identification of phonetic similarities and differences between Fataluku and English sounds, as well as the prediction of potential difficulties in second language sound acquisition.The results show that Fataluku speakers face significant difficulties in pronouncing some English sounds. The main difficulties are found in consonant pairs such as /ŋ/ and /n/, which are often mispronounced or not consistently realized. In addition, vowel pairs such as /ɪ/ and /ʊ/ are also challenging, mainly due to the absence of similar sounds in Fataluku. These findings highlight the difficulties in pronunciation not only affect Fataluku learners' confidence in speaking English, but can also lead to misunderstandings in cross-cultural interactions. As a result, cross-language communication becomes less effective, potentially affecting social integration, educational and employment opportunities for Fataluku speakers. Therefore, these findings have important implications for language teaching practices, including the need for teaching strategies that focus on difficult sounds and a contrastive phonetic approach to help Fataluku speakers improve their English speaking skills.

Abstract

Item Analysis is used to determine the quality of test items, whether applicable or not applicable for the test takers’ ability assessment. Owing to that, our research attempts to measure the quality of personal fabricated English items for 8th grade students under the Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) by Rasch models. We adopted reliability, item difficulty, discrimination power, and distractor effectivity, following to both theories. Overall, 30 items with multiple-choice format were handed out to 46 students. The items were analyzed quantitatively by deploying the Quest.exe application. The results showed that the items are reliable with 0.69 CTT and 1.0 IRT values, and the item difficulties are also varied: 12, 14, and 4 based on CTT categorizations and index easy, moderate, and difficult, while IRT demonstrated similar results. There is only 1 item inadequate to differentiate students’ ability, and this item required a revision; furthermore, 17 out of 30 items have effective distractors. This research is expected to contribute to Item analysis and Quest.exe demonstration for the same purposes.

Abstract

Teaching materials are significant items that are unique and specific. Therefore, the selections should be relevant to students proficiency. This research aimed (1) to disclose lexical density, readability, nominalizations, and modifiers in pedagogical texts as teaching materials, (2) to reveal the linguistic features functional roles on text for pedagogical demand, and (3) to attempt to suggest consideration for simplification on authentic text. This research employed qualitative content analysis. The data sources were 18 pedagogical texts from senior high school textbooks by the Indonesian Ministry of Education. Human instruments and a text analyser for the automatic computation were utilized for the analysis under Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) pilots. This research disclosed the appropriate text lexical density for senior high school students is a fairly difficult construction. Then, nominalizations within the texts are unpreventable and process nominalization is frequently used. The nominalization and the modifiers affect sentence complexities; the nominalizations function to condense information, collocate words, create cohesiveness, interfere with conciseness, and use as trans-categorization while modifiers are to add explicitness to nouns. The simplification considerations are by utilizing lexical density and readability algorithm, de-nominalization, measuring modifiers, and splitting substance of modifiers to increase text accessibility.
