Abstract

This study examines pronunciation errors made by Filipino learners of BIPA from an interlanguage phonology perspective. The study aims to identify common pronunciation errors, explain the influence of the learners’ first and second language (L1-L2): Tagalog and English, and describe how these errors reflect their interlanguage development. The participants were 10 BIPA learners from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Data were collected through classroom observation and audio recordings during speaking activities. The pronunciations were analyzed phonologically by identifying and categorizing pronunciation errors. The findings show that most errors involved vowel substitutions, consonant changes, and difficulties with consonant clusters and nasal sounds. Most errors involved vowel substitutions, especially changes between /a/, /ə/, /e/, /u/, and /o/. Learners also had difficulties in pronouncing some Indonesian consonants such as /h/, /ŋ/, and /c/. In several cases, learners omitted sounds or added extra sounds to make pronunciation easier. These patterns indicate that their L1-L2 give strong influence toward their learning process in BIPA class. It also demonstrates learners’ adaptation to Indonesian phonology. This research suggests that BIPA teachers should be more focus on pronunciation practices with perception-based training, especially on Indonesian vowel contrasts and consonant sounds that are difficult for BIPA learners in the Philippines.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the meaning contained in the “Four Fingers” logo using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic approach. It employs a qualitative descriptive method, with Peirce’s semiotic theory serving as the analytical framework. Data collection was conducted using a note-taking technique. This research was carried out due to the absence of prior studies addressing this phenomenon from a semiotic perspective. The findings indicate that the message conveyed through the design of the “Four Fingers” logo and its visual campaign is communicatively received by the public. Based on Peirce’s elements of representamen, object, and interpretant, the logo is interpreted as a symbolic call for the public to collectively monitor and prevent potential electoral fraud in the 2024 election, which is perceived as a threat to the principles of democracy in Indonesia. Overall, the results of this study contribute to the richness of semiotic discourse and may serve as a reference for future research.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the effectiveness of Task-Based Learning (TBL) in improving English speaking proficiency among secretarial students with limited English skills. The research was conducted with 30 fourth-semester students enrolled in the Secretary Study Program at Pamulang University, who were identified as having low levels of English speaking ability. Through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and students’ reflective journals, the study explored how real-life task simulations such as telephone conversations, appointment scheduling, meeting arrangements, and business presentations impacted learners’ confidence, fluency, and functional language use. The findings indicate that TBL created meaningful and interactive speaking opportunities that helped students overcome their fear of speaking, promoted collaborative learning, and improved their ability to use English in job-specific contexts. Furthermore, the study revealed that when tasks were authentic and relevant to professional secretarial duties, students were more motivated to participate and take risks in speaking. The results suggest that incorporating TBL into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction can significantly enhance the communicative competence of secretarial students preparing for workplace communication.
