Abstract

This study aims to examine the obstacles faced by English EFL teachers when teaching pronunciation in a multicultural classroom setting. Employing a qualitative case study design, data was collected through observations and interviews with two senior English teachers from SMP Negeri 10 Kota Kupang. The analysis was conducted using vivo coding. Key challenges include lack of confidence, knowledge, and training, as well as time constraints and the low prioritization of pronunciation in the curriculum. Teachers expressed apprehension about making pronunciation errors, which undermined their confidence in teaching pronunciation. Additionally, they reported inadequate knowledge of English pronunciation, contributing to their lack of confidence. Moreover, teachers were uncertain about the significance of pronunciation in English teaching and faced difficulties in finding sufficient time to cover all required syllabus topics, leaving little room for pronunciation practice. The dearth of teaching materials and resources tailored to individual student needs further exacerbated these challenges. The study concludes that addressing these challenges necessitates the support of educational authorities. Recommendations include providing targeted training sessions to enhance teachers' pronunciation teaching skills and incorporating pronunciation into English school assessments. By addressing these needs, educational institutions can better support teachers and enhance pronunciation instruction in multicultural classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the modes and techniques used by interpreters in the process of interpreting sermons at Potter's House Christian Ministries. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. This research employed the scrutinizing method for data collection, which entails attentive listening to language usage (Sudaryanto, 1993: 133). The researcher adopted a non-participatory role, serving as mere observer of data without direct involvement in its formation. The study focused on analyzing language usage in two recorded videos of weekly services at Potter's House Christian Ministries. The researcher specifically examined individual sentences as manifestations of data, which were recorded and organized into tables based on criteria such as perspective, vocabulary, and modality. Technique assessment was employed to gather data and assess the impact of different modes and techniques on interpretation. The study reveals that interpreters at Potter's House Christian Ministries primarily employ consecutive interpreting mode, particularly short consecutive interpreting. The researcher also discovered six predominant techniques used during the interpretation process, namely: (1) reformulation, (2) elimination technique, (3) summarization, (4) error correction technique, (5) metaphors and saying technique, and (6) code-switching technique.

Abstract

Writing requires learners to articulate their thoughts and ideas in a coherent and organized manner. Understanding grammar can help students organize their thoughts in sentences that readers can easily understand. This study, title " A Correlation Study Between Students' Grammar Mastery and Writing Ability in The Second Semester Students of The English Education Study Program", aim to investigate the correlation between students' grammar mastery and their writing ability and to know the extent of the two variables correlate. The research method used is a quantitative method that applies a correlational study. The research instrument is documentary data, with the sample of this study being 19 students. The results show that there is a correlation between the two variables. The correlation between the two variables is proven by the rxy=0.747. The correlation coefficient is in the range of 0.60 to 0.80 showing a strong correlation, which indicates the extent of the correlation between the two variables. In simple terms, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Meanwhile, the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, which means that second-semester students of the English Study Program who are good at grammar are also likely to be good at writing.

Abstract

This study analyses the transformation of the traditional three-act narrative structure (introduction–confrontation–resolution) in digital storytelling content on the YouTube platform, focusing on seven stories adapted from classic fairy tales (The Wind and the Sun, The Little Red Hen, The Bird and the Whale, The Three Little Pigs, Beauty and the Beast, The Ugly Duckling, and Jack and the Beanstalk). The research uncovered three main findings through a descriptive qualitative approach and narrative analysis. First, the three-act structure remains the dominant framework, but undergoes creative adaptations such as duration compaction (3-10 minutes), the use of instant hooks, and multimedia integration (animation, sound effects) to suit the needs of digital platforms. Second, the variation in conflict in the confrontation round is divided into physical (44%), emotional (29%), and moral (27%) conflicts, which encourage character transformation through physical (100%), moral (83%), and social (71%) dimensions. Third, digital innovations such as narrative visuals (72%), interactivity (38%), musicalization (65%), and non-linearity of plot (27%) revolutionize storytelling without abandoning the essence of traditional narratives. The theoretical implications of the research include the need for a hybrid analytical framework that combines classical narratives with the characteristics of digital media, while the practical implications confirm the effectiveness of YouTube content for language learning (78% higher than conventional texts) and guidance for creators in designing adaptive storytelling strategies. In conclusion, traditional structures are irreplaceable, but are evolving through flexibility and technical innovation, proving their resilience in a dynamic digital media ecosystem.
