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.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini dilaksanakan untuk memperkuat literasi sehat, kemampuan berbahasa, dan numerasi anak usia dini melalui penerapan model Fun Fruit Learning berbasis pengalaman langsung. Kegiatan ini berlatarbelakang dari kondisi rendahnya capaian literasi–numerasi anak serta minimnya ketertarikan siswa terhadap konsumsi buah dalam program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG). Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui tahapan observasi awal, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dengan guru dan orang tua, praktik pembelajaran di kelas, serta pendampingan orang tua melalui workshop literasi sehat. Program ini melibatkan 60 siswa RA level A, 8 guru, dan 20 orang tua. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa 95% siswa menghabiskan buah dari target 70%, 85% siswa mampu menyebutkan nama buah dalam Bahasa Inggris dari target 60%, serta 100% siswa berhasil menghitung angka 1–10 dan mengelompokkan buah berdasarkan warna dan bentuk dari target masing-masing 75% dan 60%. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa Fun Fruit Learning efektif mendukung peningkatan literasi dasar dan kesadaran gizi, serta layak direkomendasikan untuk diterapkan di satuan pendidikan usia dini lain.

Abstract

For EFL learners, English language is a part of the main course to consume at school. However, some of them and even English teachers are not too familiar with 2 major English varieties (EV). They are American English (AE) & British English (BE). So far, that issue doesn’t bring up responsive concern, but some questions from EFL learners prompt such an inquiry. One of those questions is; which one of those EVs has more economical benefit for their future? In addition, frequent debate might occur among EFL learners about the correct version between kid or child, lorry or truck, taxy or cab, flat or apartment and many others. This chaotic mix-up is undeniable. Thus, this study investigates learners’ attitude on both English varieties, BE and AE, in terms of learners’ prejudice and perplexity which are encountered in learning process. This survey embraced 50 university students to put forward their own perspectives on an open-ended questionnaire consisting of four questions. Next, all answers were grouped into three categories to be interpreted. The survey shows that 50% of students insist that AE is the most well-acceptable English across the globe that could contribute to their better future socially and economically, and the rest percentage shows various contradictive arguments. It is suggested that English teachers are supposed to consider the differences between BE and AE in designing teaching material to avoid EFL learners’ perplexity and prejudice on both EVs.
