Abstract

The objective of this initiative is to improve pronunciation fluency in vocational schools by including a British accent. This study utilized the Wilcoxon signed-rank test as a component to collect both quantitative and qualitative data on product moment SPSS. The data was acquired by pronunciation evaluation test and analysis questions. The data employed in this study was gathered from a vocational school consisting of thirty students enrolled in a hospitality industry and cooking programme. The mean test score is 8.00, and the total amount of ranks is 120.00. According to the statistical test output provided, it is referred to as Asymp. The p-value (two-tailed) is 0.001. Based on the test statistics output above, it is known that Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) has a value of 0.001, because the value of 0.001 is smaller than 0.05, it can be concluded there is a difference between learning outcomes using text transcripts and shadowing BBC Podcasts and those that do not use text transcripts and shadowing BBC Podcasts. The podcast produced by the BBC can enhance language acquisition by improving pronunciation skills, stimulating students' motivation to achieve English competence, and assisting listeners in developing a predominantly British accent

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of phonics-based instruction in improving young children’s English reading skills at the kindergarten level. It is conducted within the context of English as a foreign language. Conventional alphabet-based spelling techniques often fail to meet the developmental needs of early childhood learners. Phonics, as a methodological approach to early reading instruction, emphasizes the relationship between sounds and letters and is recognized as a more structured approach. This study involved 40 students from a bilingual institution in Indonesia and employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. Participants were divided into two groups: the experimental group received structured phonics instruction for six weeks, while the control group continued with traditional alphabet-based reading instruction. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests measuring letter recognition, phonemic awareness, word reading accuracy, and word decoding. The results showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher reading scores (M = 87.6) compared to the control group (M = 70.05), with statistical significance confirmed through a t-test (p < 0.05). Qualitative data were also collected through interviews, field notes, and classroom video recordings. The findings indicate that children in the phonics group demonstrated greater engagement, enjoyment, and motivation. Students also showed positive emotional responses during phonics activities, such as singing, games, and teacher reinforcement, which supported their cognitive development and socio-emotional growth. This study concludes that phonics-based instruction is effective in improving early English reading skills, while also enhancing student engagement and emotional well-being
