Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the phonological adaptation patterns in the pronunciation of English brand names by native speakers of Indonesian, Japanese, and Korean. This study distinct from the phenomenon of globalization and the expantion of international brands, which provide phonological issues, Particulary when foreign words must be adapted to the phonological system of the mother tongue (L1). by Using a qualitative approach and descriptive phonological analysis, the data were collected from the pronunciation of famous brands by speakers from the three language groups. The findings indicate that segmental and suprasegmental adaptations are heavily influenced by the phonotactic structure of each L1. Japanese and Korean speakers typically use epenthesis and simplify segments to maintain the dominant CV syllable structure, whereas Indonesian speakers are more flexsible and frequently to keep the original sounds Furthermore, stress and intonation in speech show changes that match L1 prosody patterns. Sociolinguistic factors such as brand proximity also influence the level of adaption. This research increases the understanding of pronunciation variance in the context of World Englishes and gives implications for foreign language pronunciation education as well as interlingual phonology studies.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of the TikTok application as a medium to improve English vocabulary acquisition among Generation Z. Generation Z is very familiar with technology and social media, but many still have difficulty in expanding their English vocabulary. This study used a qualitative method using interviews with 10 respondents, consisting of students from the English education study program at Kuningan University who are included in Gen Z. The results of this study indicate that TikTok acts not only as an entertainment medium but also as an effective learning medium. Interesting educational content and a visual approach provided by the TikTok application will help respondents to remember and understand new vocabulary faster. User interaction with TikTok content such as liking, saving, and repeated pronunciation (repetition) contributes to vocabulary preservation. While TikTok has proven to be beneficial, it must also be noted how important it is to combine more structured learning methods to get optimal results. This study is expected to provide new knowledge to educators in using technology to improve the English learning process for Generation Z.

Abstract

This study explores senior high school students’ perceptions of using songs as a medium in english language learning. Recognizing the potential of songs to enhance motivation, engagement, and language proficiency, the research focuses on four 12th-grade students majoring in Computer and Network Engineering at SMKN 2 Kuningan. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires comprising closed and openended questions. Findings reveal that students hold positive perceptions of using songs in learning English, noting benefits such as improved pronunciation, better vocabulary retention, increased motivation, and enhanced listening skills. The pop genre was most favored due to its clear and simple lyrics. Despite the overall enthusiasm, students identified some challenges, including difficulty understanding lyrics without written text and unclear pronunciation. Nonetheless, all participants recommended more frequent integration of songs into English instruction, emphasizing the engaging and enjoyable nature of this approach. These results suggest that incorporating music into language education can significantly contribute to student learning outcomes, especially in vocabulary acquisition and listening comprehension.

Abstract

Code-mixing or language mixing is often found in bilingual contexts, especially in academic activities such as student presentations. This research is motivated by the use of code-mixing by sixth-semester students of the English Education Study Program of Universitas Kuningan in the presentation of Sociolinguistics in the ELT course. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that encourage the use of code-mixing, analyze the pattern of code-mixing used, and evaluate its impact on the clarity of the message in the presentation. The method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, presentation transcripts, and interviews. The results showed that there were three types of code-mixing used, namely: inner code-mixing at 3.5% (3 utterances), outer code-mixing at 39.5% (34 utterances), and hybrid code-mixing as the most dominant at 57% (49 utterances) of the total 86 utterances analyzed. The five main factors driving the use of code-mixing are audience understanding, spontaneity of speaking, emphasizing important points, self-confidence, and limited vocabulary.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between students’ self-confidence and the use of fillers in English speaking skills. Fillers such as “um”, “uh”, “like”, and “you know” are linguistic elements that often appear in oral communication, especially when the speaker is hesitant or needs time to think. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through direct observation in class presentation activities and semi-structured interviews with ten students of the English Education Study Program at Kuningan University. The results showed that all participants used fillers in varying frequencies, with a tendency to increase when they felt insecure, nervous, or when experiencing a lack of ideas. Non-verbal indicators such as eye contact, intonation, and body language showed that students with lower self-confidence used fillers more often. Although most were aware of the presence of fillers in their speech, only a few had concrete strategies to reduce them. These findings indicate that low self-confidence is closely related to the increasing use of fillers. This study is expected to contribute to the development of English-speaking learning strategies that focus not only on linguistic aspects but also on students’ psychological readiness.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges that students of English Education face in comprehending listening texts with accent variation within the framework of World Englishes. Using a qualitative phenomenological research design, the data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with ten students of the sixth semester of Kuningan University who had studied the World Englishes elective course. The results showed that the major difficulties comprised unfamiliar types of accents (such as Indian, Singaporean, and British accents), speed of speech, interference from background noise, and the use of unfamiliar local words and idioms. To cope with these, the students used a variety of coping strategies such as replay of audio, use of subtitles, increased exposure to varied accents through digital media, and the use of technology such as online dictionaries and artificial intelligence. The experiences of lecturer support differed; while some students felt supported by the diverse materials, others relied on self-study mechanisms. The study concluded that while there were complex difficulties in comprehending World Englishes, the students demonstrated enormous flexibility in self-study. The findings point to the need to develop a more inclusive listening curriculum and pedagogy that explicitly embraces global accent differences to prepare students for communication in real-life contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the implementation and impact of digital storytelling in improving students' speaking skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class. As speaking remains one of the most challenging language skills for EFL students, various creative teaching strategies have been developed to address these challenges, one of which is digital storytelling. The research was conducted as a case study involving students of the English Study Program at Kuningan University. Through qualitative descriptive methods, data were collected using observations, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the digital storytelling process involves several stages: scriptwriting, voice recording, collecting supporting media, and video editing, with lecturers acting as facilitators. The implementation of this technique proved effective in enhancing students' confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Additionally, it fostered students’ creativity, motivation, and independent learning attitudes. The study also highlights some obstacles, such as students’ limited video editing skills and the time-consuming nature of the process. Nevertheless, the findings support previous research that digital storytelling offers an engaging, interactive, and adaptable learning environment, making it a valuable tool in EFL classrooms to improve speaking ability. Therefore, it is recommended that this method be integrated regularly into speaking courses with proper technical guidance provided for students.
