Multimodal learning environment has been facilitating teachers to present information-rich in technical words and symbols in picture-print as well as picture-spoken words materials to non-native learners. Indeed, many laboratory and experiment conditions have investigated the positive effect of multimodality to pronunciation learning but little is known about applying it in teaching English consonants that are unavailable in Indonesian language.  This naturalistic case study explored the experience of five pre-service English teachers when learning English consonants unavailable in Indonesian language, i.e., /ð/; /Ɵ/; /ʃ/; and /ʒ/. The data were collected by means of students’ reflective journals and interview. Findings suggest that the participants utilized the picture-word materials to understand the consonants’ phonetic symbols. The picture-spoken words materials facilitate students’ sound production practices. Last, the students’ motivation to acquire intelligibility and comprehensibility is shaped by their identity as pre-service English teachers believe that their correct pronunciation reflects their professional competence and improve their confidence.

Kosakata merupakan hal yang sangat penting dalam mempelajari bahasa Inggris. Namun, ada masalah bahwa para siswa tidak cukup percaya diri untuk membentuk strategi pembelajaran kosakata, mengingat siswa harus mempelajari banyak kosakata untuk memberikan mereka pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan menemukan perspektif siswa tentang strategi pembelajaran kosakata yang biasa digunakan oleh siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan. Sebagai desain penelitian, metodologi penelitian ini mencakup metode kualitatif dan studi kasus. Berdasarkan hasil persentase yang telah diperoleh, strategi penentuan adalah yang paling sering digunakan oleh siswa, yang lebih memilih untuk belajar kosakata berdasarkan konteks dan dengan panduan kamus bahasa Inggris. Diikuti oleh strategi memori, strategi metakognitif, strategi sosial, dan strategi kognitif yang merupakan strategi yang paling jarang digunakan. Para siswa sadar akan perlunya mempelajari kosakata, terutama untuk tujuan akademis dan non-akademis, tetapi karena masalah yang mereka alami, mereka juga memiliki berbagai strategi yang harus sesuai dengan kemampuan mereka, dan sebagian besar dari mereka lebih memilih untuk menggunakan strategi yang praktis, sederhana, namun efisien untuk mempelajari kosakata.
