Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Latin alphabet usage on the vocabulary writing skills and science understanding of Thai Malay among Mattaeom 1 students at Ban Padungmat School, Thailand. A qualitative descriptive method was employed using participatory observation and documentation techniques on 25 students. The findings reveal that students face significant challenges in writing vocabulary due to differences in graphemic and phonological systems between the Latin alphabet and Thai script. Three dominant types of errors were identified: graphemic errors (72%), phonological errors (80%), and mixed usage of Latin and Thai characters (60%). These errors are influenced by negative transfer from the mother tongue and low adaptation to the Latin script. The study emphasizes the need for a contextual and phonetic-based learning approach in teaching the Latin alphabet to bilingual students. It recommends more intensive phonological and graphemic training to enhance vocabulary writing accuracy in Thai Malay.

Abstract

This study examines the use of speech acts by Indonesian adolescents in digital communication, particularly through comments on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. The study aims to identify the types of speech acts commonly used, examine how the digital context influences the forms and strategies of these utterances, and explore the socio-cultural meanings embedded in these interactions. A qualitative descriptive method was used with data collected from 150 naturalistic comments made by adolescents aged 13–19. The analysis was conducted using Searle's speech act theory, focusing on contextual categorization and interpretation. The findings indicate that representative and expressive speech acts are the most frequently used, followed by directive, commissive, and declarative speech acts. The digital environment shapes linguistic expression through unique features such as emoticons, informal spelling, and visual-emotional reinforcers. These linguistic choices are influenced by the immediate, informal, and performative nature of online interactions. The results also indicate that speech acts on social media reflect adolescents' construction of identity, group affiliation, and shared cultural norms in the digital space. This study concludes that social media serves not only as a communication tool but also as a platform for socio-cultural expression among adolescents. Further studies could explore variations in usage across platforms or different demographic groups.

Abstract

The aims of this research were to analyze the impact of southern Thai Malay on the study of English pronunciation, especially the final consonant sounds. To make the analysis, the researcher used a qualitative method involving 15 students at Ban Kalisa School, Thailand, and data collected by observation, in-depth interviews, and pronunciation tests.  Based on the results related to pronunciation made by 15 students, it can be concluded that there are 1 student pronounced sound [æ] as [a], 1 student pronounced [ʌ] as [u], 3 students pronounced [æ] as [e] and 1 student pronounced [o] as [ʌ]. While in consonant sounds, there are 10 subjects pronounced palate alveolar fricative [ʃ] changed into sound [s, t] or alveolar fricative. 3 students pronounce [ð] with [t], there are 2 students with substitution and 5 students with omission. The students also still have a minor vocabulary in responding to the English questions in an interview. They only knew how to answer the question that related to their identity but had difficulties in responding to the other questions. This research, it is hopefully can be useful to the development of students’ English ability, especially in pronouncing words as one of the indicators of English proficiency.
