Abstract

This study aims to identify common pronunciation errors among students in tourism-based schools in Toraja, Indonesia, and assess the potential application of English Speaking Management (ESM) methods as a structured approach to improve pronunciation. With the growing importance of English proficiency in the tourism sector, especially in regions like Toraja, improving pronunciation is crucial for enhancing communication with international visitors. Using a qualitative-collaborative research approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with 15 teachers and 30 students. The study revealed that phonemic errors, stress misplacement, and difficulties with consonant clusters were prevalent among students. The implementation of ESM methods, including drilling, role play, and technology integration, showed significant improvements in pronunciation accuracy and students’ speaking confidence. The findings support the potential of ESM as a useful tool in addressing pronunciation challenges and enhancing language learning in tourism-focused educational settings. This research aligns with national agendas to improve education quality and supports SDG goals 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of a local wisdom-based English learning model in enhancing the English proficiency of fifth-grade students at SDN 11 Mengkendek, Tana Toraja, Indonesia. The model integrates Torajan cultural values into English instruction to provide students with meaningful and contextually relevant learning experiences. Employing a quantitative experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach, the study involved 23 participants selected through cluster sampling. Data were collected using an English proficiency test measuring vocabulary and sentence structure, while data analysis was conducted using PSPP software. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and the calculation of effect size (r). Results revealed a significant improvement in students’ posttest scores (Z = −4.02, p = 0.000), with a very large effect size (r = 0.84), indicating that the model had a substantial pedagogical impact. The findings affirm that embedding local culture such as the Torajan values of kasianggaran, kasiuluran, and kasialamasean into English learning fosters stronger engagement, comprehension, and cultural identity. This study supports the principles of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) and highlights the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy in improving English education within Indonesia’s multicultural settings.
