Abstract

This research is entitled "English Teachers' Perceptions of Independent Learning Curriculum Development". This aims to find out and understand teachers' perceptions of the current development of the independent curriculum and also whether there are any obstacles from both teachers and students, as well as what their hopes are for the future curriculum. This study uses a qualitative method. By interviewing several English teachers and there is some data related to the teachers who have been interviewed, I can conclude that the development of the independent curriculum has been quite helpful in several aspects, but teachers cannot give one hundred percent in implementing the independent curriculum at this time because the current curriculum is still just being implemented.

Abstract

This study explores students' experiences and perceptions of using audio-visual media in supporting their pronounciation skills. A qualitative descriptive design is used to captures detailed and nuanced insights into participants’ experiences. Ten undergraduate students majoring in English Education were purposefully selected as participants to provide in-depth perspectives. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, which encouraged open discussions while addressing themes closely aligned with the research objectives. This study reveals that students commonly use YouTube videos, language learning apps like Duolingo, and movies or TV shows as audio visual media to practice pronunciation. They also employ techniques such as mimicking native speakers, shadowing, and recording and playback to refine their speech. As a result, students report noticeable improvements in articulation, clarity, intonation, and fluency. The combination of exposure to authentic speech patterns, feedback, and consistent practice enables students to enhance their pronunciation, gain confidence in speaking, and communicate more naturally. These findings underscore the value of integrating audio-visual media into pronunciation practice for English learners.
