Abstract

This study examines pronunciation errors among university students learning English as a second language, focusing on members of the English Club, primarily Balinese learners. Despite English being a global language and widely learned as a second language, pronunciation remains a significant challenge, often influenced by the learners' native language. This research employs a qualitative approach with purposive sampling to select a sample of 11 participants who are not majoring in English. These participants were chosen through observation and a questionnaire. Data are collected by having the participants read a story, "Pan Balang Tamak," to identify specific pronunciation errors and understand how their native language affects their English pronunciation. This research finds that the most type of error is misformation in some sounds such as /θ/, /ð/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /dʒ/, /ʒ/. This type of error occurs due to the dissimilarity of certain sounds between English and the native language. Additionally, pronunciation skills among English Club members must be improved to reduce recurring errors

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the cohesive devices used in Harjas Singh Sidhu’s speech on the Public Speaking Academy YouTube channel, addressing the problem of how cohesion contributes to the clarity and organization of spoken communication. The data were obtained from a recorded speech video, and the analysis applied a descriptive qualitative method. The instrument of this study was the researcher, supported by an observation sheet used to categorize each cohesive device. The data were collected through repeated viewing, transcription, and identification of cohesive elements, while the analysis involved classification, description, and interpretation of the findings. The results show that the speech contains two types of grammatical cohesion—Personal Reference and Demonstrative Reference—and two types of lexical cohesion—Reiteration (Repetition and Superordinate) and Collocation. No instances of Substitution and Ellipsis were found in grammatical cohesion, and no examples of Synonym or General Word occurred in lexical cohesion. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the use of cohesive devices supports the clarity, flow, and coherence of the speaker’s message. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on a high-performing non-native English speaker in a competitive public speaking context, offering insights into cohesion use in authentic, performance-based spoken discourse—an area that remains underexplored in previous research.
