This research examines the role of phonology in the process of second language acquisition. Phonology, as a branch of linguistics that studies the sound system of a language, has a significant impact on a learner's ability to master the target language. This study aims to analyze how the differences in the phonological system between the mother tongue and the second language affect the ability of learners to perceive and produce language sounds. The methods used include a comprehensive literature review and case studies of English as a second language learners from various mother tongue backgrounds. The research results show that phonological transfer from the mother tongue to the second language can cause difficulties in pronunciation and comprehension. However, good phonological awareness and appropriate training can help overcome these obstacles. These findings have important implications for second language teaching, emphasizing the importance of focusing on phonological aspects in curriculum and teaching methods. Further research is needed to develop effective strategies for overcoming phonological challenges in second language acquisition.

This study aims to improve students' English-speaking skills at SD Negeri 094136, Sait Buttu Village, by implementing innovative classroom activities such as role-play, group discussion, language games, and presentation. These activities were designed to address the challenge of low English skills due to lack of facilities, qualified teaching staff and exposure to English in the students' environment. This study used a pretest-posttest design with qualitative and quantitative approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods. The respondents were students in grades 2, 3, and 4. The results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and vocabulary acquisition. In addition, there was an increase in students' self-confidence although the challenge of speaking anxiety was still present. The study concluded that communicative and interactive classroom activities were effective in improving students' speaking skills. Research recommendations include the integration of speaking activities in the educational curriculum and the need for further research in various contexts to explore the effectiveness of this method more widely.

Abstract Speech acts are a fundamental aspect of communication, enabling speakers to perform actions through language. Despite extensive research in pragmatics, a gap remains in understanding how speech acts manifest in spontaneous, everyday conversations across diverse social contexts. This study addresses this gap by exploring the use, interpretation, and variations of speech acts in informal interactions, focusing on how speakers navigate politeness, intention, and context. Grounded in Searle’s Speech Act Theory and supplemented by Brown and Levinson’s Politeness Theory, the research adopts a qualitative methodology to provide a detailed pragmatic analysis of conversational data. Using purposive sampling, 20 participants from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds were recorded in naturalistic settings, capturing everyday conversations. Data were analyzed using discourse analysis to identify patterns, functions, and contextual variations in the use of speech acts. The findings reveal significant variations in speech act realization influenced by cultural norms, interpersonal relationships, and conversational goals. Key speech acts such as requests, apologies, and directives often align with or deviate from theoretical models, highlighting the dynamic nature of real-world language use. This study contributes to the field by demonstrating the need to refine existing theories to account for contextual fluidity and individual speaker strategies. The implications of this research extend to language education, where a deeper understanding of pragmatic competence can enhance second language learners’ ability to navigate authentic conversational contexts. By bridging theoretical frameworks with real-world application, this study advances both academic understanding and practical tools for improving communication skills in multilingual and multicultural environments. Keywords: Speech Acts, Pragmatics, Context-Dependent Communication, Interpersonal Relationships, Searle’s Speech Act Theory.
