Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of using podcasts as a medium for independent pronunciation learning and to identify the factors that support and hinder their use. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design involving English Language Education students at Tadulako University. The participants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that students generally have positive perceptions of podcasts for independent pronunciation learning. Podcasts are considered easy to use, flexible, and accessible anytime and anywhere, allowing students to practice pronunciation independently and repeatedly. Students also reported that podcasts help them become more familiar with native speakers’ pronunciation, intonation, and accents. However, despite these benefits, several challenges were identified, including the lack of direct practice, limited feedback, and uncertainty about pronunciation accuracy without lecturer guidance. Therefore, while podcasts are effective as a supporting medium for independent pronunciation learning, they should complement, rather than replace, formal classroom instruction. The study suggests that lecturers integrate podcasts into pronunciation teaching while providing guidance and feedback to optimize students’ learning outcomes.

Abstract

Willingness to communicate (WTC) has emerged as a critical psychological construct mediating between linguistic competence and actual language use, yet its influence on speaking performance remains underexplored in Indonesian EFL contexts through learners' lived experiences. This qualitative study employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to investigate how English Education students at Universitas Tadulako experience and interpret the ways WTC shapes their English-speaking performance. Three undergraduate students (semesters 3-5) participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews, with findings triangulated through a lecturer interview. Systematic IPA analysis revealed four superordinate themes: (1) WTC as Dynamic Social-Cognitive State, fluctuating with context rather than functioning as a stable trait; (2) The Fluency-Accuracy Paradox, whereby students universally prioritize comprehensibility over grammatical correctness as a strategic coping mechanism; (3) Fear as Cultural-Pedagogical Construct, wherein judgment anxiety rooted in Indonesian educational culture inhibits WTC despite supportive teaching; and (4) The Preparation Imperative, in which advance notice and cognitive readiness universally facilitate WTC while spontaneous demands trigger defensiveness. Findings demonstrate that WTC operates as a multi-dimensional construct shaped by individual motivation, social ecology, cultural context, and pedagogical environment. Practical implications include creating psychologically safe environments, validating fluency-first strategies, and scaffolding spontaneity through preparation.

Abstract

This study investigates the pronunciation difficulties experienced by third-semester EFL students at Tadulako University in producing the English interdental fricative sounds /?/ and /ð/. The objectives of this study are to identify the most difficult fricative sounds and to determine the factors influencing these difficulties. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 16 students of the English Education Study Program. The data were collected through a pronunciation test and a questionnaire. The pronunciation test required students to read 20 words containing /?/ and /ð/, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The questionnaire data were analyzed using mean scores and percentage distribution. The findings reveal that /?/ was the most problematic sound, frequently substituted with /t/, while /ð/ was less problematic and occasionally replaced with /d/. The results also show that 9 students achieved excellent scores, while others showed varying levels of difficulty. In terms of influencing factors, mother tongue influence and psychological factors were identified as the most dominant, each contributing 21.3% to pronunciation difficulties. These findings indicate that first language interference and learners’ anxiety play significant roles in students’ pronunciation performance.
