Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of final-year English major students toward the Free4Talk platform by comparing novice and expert users. A total of 15 participants were purposively selected from a public university in North Sumatra, Indonesia, comprising 12 novice users (with less than three months of experience) and 3 expert users (with more than one year of experience). Adopting a qualitative descriptive-comparative design, data were collected through questionnaires from all participants and interviews with eight volunteers. Thematic analysis was applied to interpret the data. Findings reveal that both groups perceived Free4Talk positively, particularly for its accessibility, discussion rooms, and opportunities for authentic speaking practice. Novice users frequently encountered initial anxiety, challenges in comprehending various accents, and inconsistent motivation, whereas expert users exhibited greater confidence, consistent engagement, and long-term motivation. Both groups shared common challenges related to technical issues and limited content moderation. The study highlights that user experience, affective readiness, and prior familiarity with the platform significantly impact engagement, confidence, and speaking development, offering practical insights for online speaking platforms and English language instruction.

Abstract

This journal aims to analyze the effectiveness of using phonetic symbols in the pronunciation of students who speak English as a foreign language (EFL) by measuring students' capabilities in pronouncing English reading or sentences with phonetic transcription. This study explores to what extent the use of phonetic symbols can help EFL students improve their pronunciation. The research method used Quantitative Descriptive by using table percentage with 25 EFL students in 4th semester in the English department from State Islamic University of North Sumatera as participants. These students were selected to read the sentences with phonetic transcription by using WhatsApp application and Voice note features to read the sentences. During the research, students weren't given teaching materials containing phonetic symbols and were asked to read and pronounce the English sentences with their pure ability. Data was collected through pronunciation tests. This test is intended to measure students' pronunciation abilities and the progress in reading sentences using phonetic symbols. The results showed that there were 72% of the English department students who were categorized as capable in reading sentences using phonetic transcription and 28% of all students are incapable of reading the sentences provided. It was concluded that the phonetic symbols helped EFL students to pronounce difficult sounds in English. In conclusion, the use of phonetic symbols proved effective in improving the pronunciation of EFL students. Phonetic symbols can be a useful tool in helping students improve their pronunciation in speaking English due to the capability of most students in reading English sentences.

Abstract

This article examines various phonological patterns and processes, providing an overview of the current understanding and research in the field of phonology. This article aims to provide an overview of the current understanding and research in phonology by conducting a comprehensive analysis of relevant scholarly articles, books, and research papers. It explores fundamental concepts such as phonemes, allophones, and distinctive features, and delves into the study of phonological processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, and vowel harmony. This article is non-research type and involves literature review that takes research sources from experts and then collects these sources in one article. The review begins by exploring the fundamental concepts of phonology, such as phonemes, allophones, and distinctive features. It discusses different phonological processes, including assimilation, dissimilation, and vowel harmony, and their role in shaping the sound patterns of languages. It also explores studies that analyze how students acquire the phonological systems of their native language and the role of phonological awareness in reading and spelling skills. In addition, the review addresses the impact of phonological processes on second language acquisition and the challenges faced by EFL learners and talks about the importance of phonology in sociolinguistic contexts. This literature review provides a comprehensive overview of phonological patterns and processes, highlighting their significance in understanding language structure, acquisition, and sociolinguistic variation.

Abstract

This study identifies common contrastive errors in English grammar made by Indonesian EFL learners, along with their causes and solutions. Such errors often arise from structural differences between the learner's first language (L1) and English (L2), potentially leading to misunderstandings. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected from eleven undergraduate students in the English Education program at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. Data collection methods included grammar tests and surveys to explore the underlying causes of errors. Analysis revealed that common errors included tense usage, subject-verb agreement, article usage, and preposition errors. These mistakes are attributed to language transfer, interlanguage phenomena, and a lack of understanding of English structures. The study recommends teaching strategies such as drilling activities, corrective feedback, context-based learning, and comparative grammar analysis to mitigate these errors. By implementing these approaches, it is hoped that learners will enhance their understanding and application of English grammar more effectively, ultimately improving their communication skills in English.
