Abstract

Pronunciation is a crucial component of English communicative competence and plays a vital role in ensuring intelligibility in spoken interaction. In the Indonesian EFL context, teaching pronunciation remains challenging due to limited exposure to authentic language, mother-tongue interference, and insufficient resources. Despite previous studies on pronunciation pedagogy, research integrating the psychological, linguistic, and pedagogical dimensions of teachers’ challenges, particularly at the high school level, remains limited. The present study aims to investigate the obstacles EFL teachers face in teaching pronunciation and to identify the strategies the EFL students employ to address these obstacles. This research uses a qualitative case study involving three EFL teachers in a senior high school in Ciamis, Indonesia. Data were gathered through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, then analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal five primary challenges: low student self-confidence, limited time and resources, difficulties in linking spelling and pronunciation, first-language interference, and inconsistent practice. Teachers addressed these constraints through ice-breaking activities, contextualised repetition, constructive feedback, bilingual explanations, and materials connected to students’ interests. The study concludes that effective pronunciation instruction requires balancing technical accuracy with affective support, providing consistent practice opportunities, and adopting adaptive strategies tailored to learners’ needs. Overall, the findings emphasise that addressing both cognitive and emotional factors is essential for enhancing pronunciation learning in the EFL classroom.

Abstract

Speaking assessment plays a critical role in English language teaching, especially in developing students’ oral communication skills in junior high schools. Teachers often rely on limited or repetitive speaking assessment methods, which may not fully support the development of students’ speaking skills. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the types of speaking assessment techniques used in the classroom and the considerations behind the teacher’s choices. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving one English teacher as the participant. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that oral presentation was commonly used, especially in the teaching of procedural texts. Other techniques mentioned included interviews, role plays, group discussions, and picture descriptions. The assessment process was supported by clear instructions, the use of rubrics, a one-on-one delivery format, and sufficient time allocation for both preparation and performance. The teacher’s decisions in choosing assessment techniques were influenced by practicality, validity, student anxiety, and attention to key speaking components such as pronunciation and intonation. The study concludes that speaking assessments can be more effective when adapted to the classroom context and student needs through flexible and student-centred approaches.
