Abstract

Papua is the eastern-most part of Indonesia, comprising the left half of the island of New Guinea. Lani is a group of people or tribe living in the mountains of Jayawijaya Papua, and they speak Lani language as their local language. The language used for formal purposes in Papua is Indonesian. However, many Lani people cannot speak Indonesian correctly. This study examined the phonological interference of Lani language on the spoken Indonesian of Lani native speakers in Malang. This research used descriptive qualitative with content analysis. The respondents were five native speakers of Lani living in Malang for less than a year. The 200 Swadesh wordlist (1971) was used to collect data of spoken Indonesian from the Lani native speakers to show the phonological interference of Lani on Indonesian. This research revealed two important findings: (1) the pronunciation of Indonesian words spoken by Lani native speakers was interfered with Lani phonological rules, in which the respondents tend to substitute the sounds of Indonesian which do not exist in Lani with Lani’s sounds, (2) the respondents intended to make the pronunciation of a second language (Indonesian) easier. This happened because they experienced difficulties in producing several phonemes of Indonesian not existing in Lani’s phonological system.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, yet many students in Papua Pegunungan struggle with it due to low literacy levels, limited motivation, and ineffective reading strategies. This study investigated the role of metacognitive strategies namely planning, monitoring, and evaluating in enhancing EFL students’ reading comprehension. A mixed-method design was employed, involving 35 undergraduate students at STKIP Kristen Wamena. Data were collected through reading comprehension tests, the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI), and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings revealed that most students performed at a medium level of comprehension (62.9%), with difficulties in higher-order skills such as inference and integration. Students reported moderate use of metacognitive strategies (M=3.2), applying monitoring most frequently, while planning and evaluation were less evident. Correlation analysis confirmed a significant positive relationship between strategy use and comprehension, particularly monitoring (r= 0.62, p < 0.01). Qualitative data indicated that high-performing students consistently monitored and evaluated their understanding, while low achievers read reactively without clear goals. The study concluded that explicit training in metacognitive strategies, especially planning and evaluation, alongside efforts to foster reading motivation, is essential for improving comprehension outcomes among Papuan EFL learners.
