Abstract

This research wants to find out how the voice formants of people who speak English as their first language differ from the voices of people who speak English as a second language. This research uses a computer program called Praat to help with the research. The people to be studied are those who grew up speaking English and those who learned it later in life. The samples in this research were taken 1 male voice and 1 female voice non-native speaker and 2 native speaker voice sample Male and Female. The findings of the analysis show that there are not many differences between native and non-native speakers' pronunciations of each monophthong, especially when they relate to the monophthong /ə/, which is difficult for non-native speakers to pronounce correctly.

Abstract

This program aimed to improve the professional writing competence of MGMP French teachers at SMAN 19 Medan, who face challenges such as errors in tenses, sentence structure, prepositions, and gender agreement in French writing. These difficulties hinder their ability to teach effectively and meet established competency standards. To address this, the program utilizes fiche de travail numérique from the Allez-Écrire website, offering interactive digital worksheets designed to enhance writing skills. The approach includes situation analysis, problem identification, material development, mentoring, and evaluation. Teachers' weaknesses were identified through observations and interviews, followed by implementing fiche de travail numérique with automatic feedback exercises. Evaluations were conducted to measure improvements before and after the program. The results show a significant increase in writing competence: errors in passé composé and imparfait usage decreased by 45%, sentence structure and conjunction errors by 40%, and gender agreement errors by 40%. These findings indicate that digital worksheets are effective in helping teachers correct mistakes, boost confidence, and produce better writing. The program is proven to enhance French writing competence and is recommended to be expanded with more interactive materials and ongoing support for continuous improvement Keywords : Professional competence; Writing; French; Fiche de Travail Numérique; MGMP

Abstract

The Javanese language (BJ) is divided into three, namely Ngoko, Krama Madya, and Krama Inggil. BJ consists of 10 vowel sounds: [i, I, e, ɛ, a, ǝ, o, ɔ, U, u]. This study aims to determine the values of BJ vowel sounds based on FORMAN data analysis, comparing the voices of male speakers (PL) and female speakers (PP). Additionally, the study aims to identify the more dominant vowel sounds based on gender. The qualitative method was used to collect data on the vowel sounds of Ngoko Javanese (BJN) by analyzing voice recordings using the Praat application program. The quantitative method was employed to calculate the FORMAN F1, F2, and F3 values and determine the average difference in BJN vowel sounds. Data from the BJ dictionary, consisting of 10 words with vowel sounds at the beginning, were used for analysis. The results showed that in PL, the highest vowel values were: [u] at 3089Hz, [i] at 3918Hz, [ɔ] at 3535Hz, and [ɛ] at 3228Hz. The lowest vowel values were: [ɛ] at 277Hz, [U] at 431Hz, and [i] at 336Hz. In PP, the highest vowel values were: [ɛ] at 3021Hz, [i] at 3200Hz, [I] at 3083Hz, and [o] at 3367Hz. The lowest vowel values were: [e] at 391Hz, [I] at 525Hz, [ɛ] at 385Hz, and [i] at 455Hz. In conclusion, BJN consists of 10 vowel sounds, with the highest vowel sound being [ɔ] and the lowest vowel sound being [i] in PL. The comparison of vowel sounds at the beginning of words in PL and PP in BJN, based on the high and low sounds of the F1, F2, and F3 vowel sounds, indicates that PL is more dominant.

Abstract

Prosody in the Minang Kabau language in this study was studied with 5 words, to find formants, frequency, intensity. They are /saruang/, /urang, /goreang/, /putiah/, /karajo/. The results show that the dominance of the predominant vowel is very high in these words. The words were also studied with frequency, intonation and duration to find the sound contour statistically. The results of the study are displayed through diagrams tables and explanations to understand the characteristics of sound, improve language learning ability. The earlier formant diagram shows the position of the tongue, with F3 representing the rear position, F2 representing the middle, and F1 representing the peak of the vowel (Predominant). The research method is the use of the Praat instrument to discuss the recorded and analyzed sounds. Minang Kabau, also known as Minang, has some phonetic peculiarities that distinguish it from other languages. Its broad vowel system, which comprises seven or eight vowels depending on dialectal variety, is one unique feature. Among these vowels are five monophthongs (/i, e, a, o, u/) and two or three diphthongs (/ai, au/, and maybe /oi/). Apart from this, there are vowel length distinctions in Minang Kabau, with both long and short vowels conceivable. In addition, the language has a consonant phoneme inventory that includes voiceless stops (/p, t, k/) and voiced stops (/b, d, g/), as well as a variety of other consonants.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the prosody contained in Javanese using an acoustic phonetic approach. This research also uses an instrumental approach, where researchers use the Praat program to analyze the frequency, intensity, and duration of the voices of male and female Javanese speakers. Data were collected from one male Javanese speaker and one female Javanese speaker. The results of the analysis show that the frequency of the voices of male Javanese speakers tends to be lower than that of female Javanese speakers. The intensity of the voices of male Javanese speakers tends to be smaller than that of female Javanese speakers. In contrast to the frequency and intensity, the duration of the male voice is also higher than that of female voices. This research confirms that there are significant differences in vocal characteristics between male and female speakers of Javanese. These results indicate that there are distinctive linguistic patterns between the two genders in the Javanese language community.

Abstract

This study examines pitch variations in English sentences spoken by two non-native children from Ethiopia and Somalia, using. The research focuses on declarative, imperative, and interrogative sentence types, analyzing pitch frequency across these sentence forms. The participants were a 5-year-old Ethiopian boy and a 9-year-old Somalian boy, were recorded, and their pitch data were analyzed for beginning, highest, lowest, and final frequencies. The results indicate that the Somalian boy exhibited greater pitch variation, particularly in declarative sentences, while the Ethiopian boy demonstrated more consistency. In imperative sentences, the Ethiopian boy showed slightly wider variation, while in interrogative sentences, the Somalian boy ended with a higher pitch. The differences in pitch usage suggest influences from age, language background, and individual speaking habits. This research contributes to understanding pitch use in young multilingual English learners and their linguistic development.

Abstract

Intonation is one of the acoustic features that is highly emphasised by English learners worldwide, including Chinese EFL and Indonesian EFL speakers. The primary focus of the research is to compare variations in intonation between Chinese EFL and Indonesian EFL speakers while at the same time observing the other two acoustic features, which are intensity and duration. To make this research more comprehensive, a native English speaker’s pronunciation was also included to set the standard of English pronunciation. The data was visualised using the phonetic software PRAAT following the experiment. The findings indicate that Indonesian EFL speakers exhibit intonation patterns more similar to native English speakers compared to Chinese EFL speakers, although the specific intonation differences from native speakers remain evident. Learning about phonetic theory and adjusting intonation with the help of visual phonetic software are both effective ways to address this issue.

Abstract

This study aims to identify, classify, and analyze emotive interjections expressing 'admiration' in the Acehnese language using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach. The method applied is descriptive qualitative with verbal data containing interjections. The research data source was obtained from the daily conversations of the Acehnese people in four regions, namely Aceh Besar, North Aceh, East Aceh, and West-South Aceh. Each region was represented by 3 informants who met the criteria, such as speaking Acehnese as their mother tongue, aged between 30 and 50 years, and were willing to become informants. The techniques of collecting the data include observation, recording and recording. Data analysis was carried out in several steps, namely data identification and inventory, classification and data analysis based on categories and meaning of emotive interjections. The research results show that emotive interjections in Acehnese include alahuwe, ômmi, ômma, ômman, ômmen, ômma ôi, bak budik, bak budôk, alah mak ôi, lahwa ôi, ie eh ek, ek, ôku, ôdu, and bah. These interjections can be grouped into several emotive subcategories based on their semantic components: 1) 'I feel that something good has happened,' 2) 'I feel that something good will happen,' and 3) 'I feel that something like this is impossible.' Each subcategory has specific meaning characteristics and usage within the cultural and linguistic context of Aceh. This research contributes significantly to a more comprehensive understanding of the Acehnese language, particularly regarding the semantics of emotive interjections, and may serve as a foundation for further studies on interjections in other regional languages in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the Indonesian folktale "Pulau Simardan" based on the narrative function proposed by Vladimir Propp. The analysis focuses on the actor's function. The research method uses qualitative descriptive, namely describing, explaining, and describing the narrative structure in the Indonesian folktale "Pulau Simardan" in the Tapanuli community. Based on the analysis, there are 31 actor functions in the Indonesian folktale "Pulau Simardan". By using Propp's theory, it is obtained in detail (1) the actor's function which has been explained for each function, a brief definition of each function in one word, along with symbols; (2) the distribution of functions among actors; (3) the story movement scheme. From Propp's theory, it is also known that there are fixed elements and changing elements. The fixed element is the act or action, while the changing element is the actor or sufferer.
