Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using phonetic symbols in enhancing English pronunciation skills among second-semester students of the English Department at Institut Agama Islam Darul A’mal IAIDA Lampung. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups: an experimental group that received treatment using phonetic symbols and a control group that was taught using conventional methods. Both groups were pre-tested and post-tested to measure their pronunciation abilities. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the pronunciation skills of the experimental group, as evidenced by the post-test results, compared to the control group. Additionally, students expressed a high level of interest in learning pronunciation through phonetic symbols, with the majority indicating strong engagement and appreciation for this method. The study concludes that phonetic symbols are an effective tool in improving English pronunciation and suggests that they be incorporated into pronunciation teaching methods to support students’ language learning experiences.

Abstract

This study investigates the interactional functions of local pragmatic markers (PMs) in Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. While pragmatic markers such as okay and so are widely documented in global academic discourse, local markers like kan, dong, and sih remain underexplored. The objective of this research is to analyze how these culturally embedded markers support pedagogical interaction and contribute to classroom discourse management. Data were taken from transcripts of six Indonesian EFL classes. A corpus-based approach was applied using the IRF (Initiation–Response–Feedback) model and function-based coding. Marker frequency was normalized per 1,000 words and categorized by speaker role, turn position, and discourse function. To provide comparison, data from the MICASE and ELFA corpora were also analyzed. Results show that local PMs serve both textual and interpersonal functions. Teachers used kan to affirm responses, dong to encourage participation, and nah to mark procedural shifts. These markers enhanced Classroom Interactional Competence by facilitating smoother transitions, reducing student anxiety, and promoting learner engagement. Compared to MICASE and ELFA, which lack these markers, the Indonesian classrooms demonstrated a discourse style shaped by cultural values such as consensus and relational harmony. The findings highlight the pedagogical significance of integrating local pragmatic norms into EFL instruction. Recognizing and leveraging these markers can enhance communicative effectiveness and cultural inclusivity in language education. This study contributes to expanding models of pragmatic competence and affirms the importance of localized discourse analysis in multilingual educational contexts.
