Abstract

This study was carried out with the aim of overcoming the difficulties confronted by grade 7 students of KM/ST/Al-Marjan Muslim Ladies college (N.S )Sammanthurai, Ampara in using pronunciation in appropriate place in communication. Because use correct pronunciation in communication has been a huge challenge for most of the grade 7 students at KM/ST/Al-Marjan Muslim Ladies college (N.S )Sammanthurai, Ampara. Therefore, 20 grade 7 students were randomly selected for data collection from the total population (60 students). This study was a qualitative research  and data collection method were qualitative. The research instruments of this study were observation and a test. According to the analysis of the observation, the findings show that most of the participants do not have the previous knowledge about consonants pronounce. They are majority aware of only ‘ /ch/ ’ ,/d/ ’, ‘ /g/’, ‘ /th/ ’ words. Most of them do not have ideas about ‘ /v/ ’, ‘ /w/ ’, ‘ /sh/ ’ , ‘ /s/ ’ , ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’,‘ /x/ ’ and more. Further, according to the analysis of the test, a large amount of  the participants (13 participants) failed to ‘ /d/ ’, ‘ /g/ pronounce the sounds in the given words. Likewise, with regard to use of  ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’ in words, the finding show that 8 participants correctly pronounce ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’in only one word out of 5 places to pronounce ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/’ words. Moreover, no participants correctly pronounce ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’ in all  five words. The reason is, students do not have the knowledge of pronunciations accurately in communication. This problem can be overcome when the followings are implemented such as teaching consonants pronunciation rules using deductive method, applying interesting pronouncing activities and games in the classroom, correcting students’ pronounce, strictly focusing on pronunciation error, giving reading practice and explaining the way the pronunciation have been used in communication.

Abstract

The research aims to explore the challenges Grade 8 students at KM/KM/Shams Central College face in learning English due to the influence of their mother tongue, Tamil. It seeks to identify how Tamil language structures, such as sentence order and phonetic features, interfere with English learning, and to examine sociocultural factors like attitudes, language anxiety, and exposure that affect motivation and success. The study also evaluates the impact of linguistic interference on grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Finally, it aims to propose effective teaching strategies to minimize Tamil's influence and enhance English proficiency, with a particular focus on rural educational contexts. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative pretest and posttest assessments with qualitative data from structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with both students and teachers. The findings indicate that Tamil interference significantly contributes to challenges in English grammar and pronunciation, particularly in the misuse of articles, prepositions, and word order, as well as pronunciation errors involving sounds not found in Tamil. While the interventions implemented, such as task-based learning and pronunciation exercises, showed measurable improvements, sociocultural factors like anxiety and limited exposure to English outside the classroom remained barriers. The study concludes that effective English language acquisition requires addressing both linguistic interference and sociocultural challenges. Recommendations include incorporating communicative language teaching, increasing exposure to English in daily life, and providing professional development for teachers. Future research should explore the long-term impact of these strategies and the potential of technology in overcoming these challenges.

Moreover, three English language teachers were interviewed to know the factors and effective strategies to overcome spelling errors. The quantitative data was analyzed by marks and percentage and qualitative data was analyzed by cording method. The findings indicated that mostly second language learners at KM/STR-Sennal Zahira Maha Vidyalaya (G.C.E O/level students) committed with sound based spelling errors related with substitution (consonant to consonant and consonant to vowel) and omission. However, through teaching process in post-test students enhanced their knowledge of spelling of words by 27%. Finally, students and teachers need mechanism and awareness about spelling errors that can greatly impact their quality writing without spelling mistakes or errors.

Abstract

Hypermedia-based Anne Ranasinghe’s poetry learning; refers to facilitate Anne Ranasinghe’s poetries including graphs, images, animation, sound and hypertext with constructive learning tactics exhibits a central part in the success of the students learning English as a second language. This study was steered to recognize the output of hypermedia-based teaching in the adjective development followed in the Certificate in Professional English (CPE) with factual learning styles: activities and arrangements in recitation with video and audio-based method. The term adjective refers to a word that modifies or describes a noun or pronoun and explains the qualities of someone or something independently or in comparison to something else. The study was conducted with participants of CPE course at the Sri Lanka Youth Vocational Training Centre of National Youth Services Council. Ninety students from CPE – class - A were engaged as an experimental group and equal numbers of students from class - B were engaged as the controlled group. A pre-test was led for both the groups to find out the previous proficiency level of adjectives of the students and the mean differences were found to be negligible for both the groups from the pre-test. Later, the experimental group used hypermedia-based learning based on selected learning strategies for six months with ninety hours learning while the controlled group was taught without the use of hypermedia-based Anne Ranasinghe’s poetry learning. After six months a post-test was conducted for both the groups. When the post-test was conducted the mean (-0.091) was slightly improved for the group - B than the pre-test, and the mean (-2.971) was significantly improved for the group - A in the post-test. Thus, it is found that there is a positive relationship between the hyper-media based learning and the performance in adjective development. The research findings indicate that hyper-media based Anne Ranasinghe’s poetry learning improves adjective development of the learners of English as a second language.
