Abstract

Pronunciation is a vital component of oral language proficiency, yet it remains underrepresented in English language instruction, particularly within higher education EFL/ESL contexts. This study aims to address this pedagogical gap by developing and validating a non-test self-assessment instrument to measure pronunciation self-efficacy among intermediate English language learners (ELLs). Grounded in constructivist and learner-centered theories, the instrument integrates four dimensions: Phonological Awareness (PA), Accent and Intonation Awareness (AIA), Self-Confidence (SC), and Self-Monitoring (SM). A total of 43 university students participated, selected via purposive sampling. The instrument, comprising 20 Likert-scale items, underwent content validation by three experts, followed by psychometric evaluation through Rasch analysis using Winsteps software. The results demonstrate strong psychometric properties across all dimensions. Item and person reliability values ranged from moderate to high (0.64–0.90), with Cronbach’s Alpha (KR-20) between 0.68 and 0.90, indicating internal consistency. Person separation indices varied from 1.33 to 2.70, suggesting sufficient ability discrimination. Item fit statistics were within acceptable thresholds, supporting construct validity. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) of residuals confirmed unidimensionality, particularly for the SC construct, where Rasch explained variance reached 70.6%. PT-measure correlations further supported item discrimination quality. The validated instrument fills a methodological gap in the assessment of pronunciation self-efficacy and offers a practical, learner-centered tool for pedagogical implementation. It contributes to the advancement of self-regulated learning in pronunciation and opens pathways for further research into affective-cognitive correlates of pronunciation in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Self-Efficacy Scale for English Language Learners (SES-ELL). With the growing importance of English proficiency in Indonesia, understanding learners’ self-efficacy beliefs—defined as confidence in their ability to perform language tasks—is crucial. The study examines the validity and reliability of the SES-ELL, utilizing a cross-sectional, quantitative approach with a sample of 165 undergraduate English language students from public and private universities. Data were collected via the adapted 32-item Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy (QESE), measured on a 7-point scale. Results showed that the SES-ELL meets unidimensionality requirements, with Principal Component Analysis of Residuals explaining 68.6% of the variance. Reliability indicators were robust, with an Item Separation Reliability (ISR) of 0.96 and a Person Separation Reliability (PSR) of 0.97, suggesting strong differentiation among learners' self-efficacy levels. Item analysis identified four items needing revision due to fit inconsistencies. The study confirms SES-ELL as a reliable tool for measuring self-efficacy among Indonesian English learners, offering insights into their confidence across language skills. Future research should refine the scale further to ensure optimal measurement accuracy and support targeted interventions to improve learners' self-efficacy and performance in English

Abstract

This community service program was conducted at SMK Walisongo Jakarta with the goal of improving students' English listening skills through a mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) approach. The program was designed based on a needs analysis that identified key challenges in mastering listening skills among vocational students. The initiative contributed to students' professional development by enhancing their English listening proficiency, a skill crucial for effective communication in various professional settings. Furthermore, it introduced them to mobile-assisted learning, thereby helping them develop independent study habits using accessible technology. The program’s implementation included a pre-test, an introduction to the MALL concept, demonstrations of supporting applications, structured listening practice sessions, and a final post-test. The evaluation results showed a substantial improvement in students’ listening abilities, with the average score rising significantly from 66.56 on the pre-test to 95.78 on the post-test. This indicates that through a structured approach and the use of accessible mobile technology, the program successfully achieved its goal of improving English listening skills and preparing students for workplace communication challenges. In conclusion, integrating MALL can be an effective method for English language learning that aligns well with the demands of the global industry.
