Abstract

This study explores the application of a phonetic mapping model designed to improve the pronunciation of English vowels and consonants among EFL learners. Recognizing that many students struggle with phonemes absent in their native language, the research investigates whether visual and articulatory-based phoneme mapping can enhance learners’ phonological awareness and production accuracy. Using a descriptive classroom-based method, 30 intermediate-level EFL students were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was taught using a phonetic mapping strategy that organizes sounds by articulatory features such as voicing, place, and manner of articulation. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, learner recordings, and qualitative feedback. The results showed a significant improvement in pronunciation accuracy in the experimental group, with a 28.5% increase compared to 10.2% in the control group. Learners also reported increased confidence and better understanding of English sound systems. These findings suggest that phonetic mapping is an effective tool for improving pronunciation and fostering phonological awareness among EFL learners

Abstract

Syllables play a key role in shaping pronunciation and fluency for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Insufficient awareness of syllables can hinder learners’ ability to produce intelligible speech and affect their communication in academic and daily contexts. This study investigates how five fourth-semester students from the English Education Department at UIN Sumatera Utara identify English syllables through a phonological awareness task. Using a mixed-method approach involving descriptive analysis and interviews, the findings show that although students conceptually understand syllables, their accuracy in practical identification varies—especially with phonetically reduced or irregular words like "vegetable" and "chocolate." Participants used strategies such as clapping, oral segmentation, and visual guessing, but often relied too heavily on spelling. These results underscore the need for explicit, practical syllable-based instruction to help students develop greater fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and speaking confidence.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of Spotify as a digital learning tool to support the development of phonological competence among students in English Language Education. As an increasingly popular platform among youth, Spotify offers not only musical content but also podcasts and speech-based audio materials that can be integrated into language learning strategies, particularly in phonology. Drawing from multiple previous studies, this research highlights that the use of Spotify especially through English songs with clear lyrics can enhance students’ pronunciation, listening comprehension, rhythm awareness, and their understanding of phonemes such as /?/, /?/, and /ð/, which are often difficult for EFL learners. Using a qualitative method involving student perceptions collected via questionnaires and focus group discussions, the study reveals that Spotify contributes to informal yet effective learning. Students report higher motivation and engagement due to the accessibility and emotional resonance of music-based learning. Unlike rigid textbook approaches, Spotify allows for repetitive, contextualized input that supports pronunciation mastery in a relaxed and personalized manner. In addition, the integration of digital tools like Spotify aligns with students’ daily habits, making phonological learning more practical and less intimidating. Although some studies show that Spotify may not always outperform traditional classroom instruction in terms of measurable pronunciation scores, its strength lies in improving learner autonomy, fostering a positive attitude toward language exposure, and making phonological learning more enjoyable. Therefore, Spotify is considered a promising supplementary resource for English phonology instruction in higher education settings.

Abstract

Accents significantly influence language comprehension and pronunciation, especially for non-native speakers. This research explores how different accents affect the listening comprehension of English learners and identifies common pronunciation challenges. Drawing on insights from ten academic journals, the study employed surveys and interviews with five participants. Results reveal that unfamiliar accents increase cognitive load, hinder comprehension, and amplify anxiety, particularly when speakers articulate rapidly or use distinct pronunciations. These findings underscore the importance of exposing learners to diverse accents to improve adaptability and global communication skills.

Abstract

Phonetic symbols are a fundamental aspect of linguistics, enabling the representation and study of sounds across languages.Effective communication relies heavily on pronunciation, which helps language learners express their ideas and thoughts intelligibly. But learning the subtleties of pronunciation can be difficult. The good news is that phonetic symbols offer a useful tool to support students as they work toward precise pronunciation. Language learners can accurately transcription and categorize speech sounds by using phonetic symbols. These symbols bridge the gap between spoken words and written symbols by providing a visual representation of sounds. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is one standardized set of symbols that linguists use to accurately represent the articulatory and auditory characteristics of sounds.This research will explore of phonetic symbols and offer guidance on how students can use them to enhance their pronunciation abilities.

Abstract

Phonology is a linguistic branch that studies the sound system in a language. In English, phonological rules are very important to understand so that pronunciation and understanding of meaning do not experience distortion. However, for English learners as a foreign language (EFL), including English tadris students in north Sumatra UIN (UINSU), the appclication of phonological rules is often a challenge. This is caused by differences in the sound system between Indonesian and English and lack of exposure to native speakers.This article aims to analyze the extent to which UINSU English Tadris students understand and apply phonological rules in English, and identify common mistakes that occur

Abstract

This study explores the role of suprasegmental features, particularly intonation patterns, in English phonology. While segmental features like vowels and consonants have received extensive attention in linguistic research, suprasegmentals, including intonation, stress, rhythm, and pauses, are often less emphasized despite their critical role in shaping communication. Intonation, as a key suprasegmental feature, helps convey meaning, emotional tone, and grammatical structure in spoken English. This paper discusses how intonation patterns not only differentiate sentence types (e.g., statements vs. questions) but also express emotions and attitudes. Furthermore, it highlights the significance of understanding intonation in intercultural communication, where variations in pitch patterns can lead to misunderstandings. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for further research on suprasegmentals and their application in language learning and speech technology.

Abstract

Many Indonesian learners of English face significant challenges in achieving spoken fluency, even after years of formal study. This paper investigates the phonological roots of this struggle, analyzing how differences between the sound systems of Indonesian and English—such as vowel inventories, consonant clusters, and stress-timing—create barriers to intelligibility. Observations fromEFL classrooms reveal that learners often avoid speaking due to anxiety about mispronunciation, while instruction tends to prioritize grammar over phonology. Through a contrastive analysis, this study identifies common interference patterns (e.g., substitution of English /θ/ with /t/, syllable-timed rhythm) and proposes pedagogical interventions, including phonemic awareness drills, targeted listening practice, and communicative activities designed to build confidence. The findings argue for integrating explicit phonological training into EFL curricula to help learners bridge the gap between "knowing" and "speaking" English.
