Abstract

This presentation aimed to disseminate knowledge about the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to students of Sumatera Selatan University of Palembang. It is widely recognized that English pronunciation poses challenges due to several reasons. Firstly, many English words are not pronounced as they are spelled. Secondly, diphthongs often lack consistency from the way they are formed, in which combined vowels are producing sounds different from the original in the syllable. Thirdly, some letters are completely silent in certain contexts. Given these difficulties faced by English learners, the presenters sought to highlight the IPA as a practical solution to improve pronunciation accuracy. The feedback gathered after the session indicated that the presentation was highly informative and beneficial, as reflected in the students' responses documented in this report.

Abstract

This study investigates blog writing as a dual-purpose medium for developing English language skills while serving as a promotional tool for Kopi 16Pro through the blog script titled "Ampera's Scenic Charm in Kopi 16Pro." Employing the Research and Development (R&D) method, the research identifies grammatical errors and lexeme selection in the blog script to enhance its linguistic accuracy and promotional effectiveness. Data were gathered through error analysis of the blog text, interviews with language experts, and feedback from potential readers. The findings reveal common grammatical issues and inappropriate lexeme use, which were addressed through iterative revisions, significantly improving the script's quality. The blog is a resource for tourists seeking information about tourism destinations, explicitly aiming to facilitate the easy discovery of Kopi 16Pro Palembang. The blog was uploaded on July 9, 2024; after 5 days of being uploaded, the blog received 80 views and several positive comments, such as "what a nice view" and "so informative and cannot wait to go there.” Finally, it concludes that blog writing can effectively develop language skills and promote business. Further research is recommended to explore integrating creative writing into educational curricula and marketing strategies
