Abstract

Pronunciation is an important component of language learning that must be well mastered in order to support the development of students' competence in language skills, particularly speaking skills. This descriptive research aims to evaluate the accuracy and comprehensibility of English pronunciation among tenth-grade IPS students consisting of 30 students at SMAN 1 Bayan in North Lombok. Qualitative methods were employed, using student voice recordings as primary data and relevant documents as secondary data. The data analysis technique in this study uses the concept of qualitative data analysis developed by Miles and Huberman in (1994), including data reduction, data display and conclusions drawing. The results showed that while some students demonstrated excellent proficiency in English pronunciation, others faced significant challenges in accurately articulating vowel and consonant sounds. These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions to support struggling students and improve the pronunciation skills of all students. The research questions are focused on the accuracy and comprehensibility of English pronunciation among students in North Lombok. Through our evaluation, we found that the level of accuracy in common words varied among students, with some struggling to pronounce even basic words accurately.

Abstract

Student participation in English as Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms remains a significant challenge in rural Indonesian schools, where barriers such as low motivation, limited vocabulary, and lack of confidence hinder active engagement. This study investigates teaching strategies employed by two English teachers, TG and YF, at Junior High School 1 Gangga to address these issues. The objectives of the research are to identify the strategies used by the teachers, explore the challenges they face in activating student participation, and examine their perceptions of classroom engagement. A qualitative case study design was utilized, employing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis as data collection methods. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns and themes within the data. The findings reveal that both teachers employed differentiated learning, group discussions, reading aloud, and English games as key strategies to enhance student participation. However, challenges such as resource limitations, varying student proficiency levels, and low confidence levels were consistently reported. To address these, the teachers adapted their strategies by leveraging available resources, conducting personalized assessments, and fostering a supportive learning environment. The study underscores the importance of teacher flexibility and creativity in overcoming barriers to student participation. Its implications suggest the need for professional development programs to equip teachers with innovative strategies and improved resource allocation to support effective teaching in similar EFL contexts. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on enhancing EFL learning outcomes in under-resourced settings.
