Abstract

Mastering the syntactic properties of Noun Phrases (NPs) remains a major hurdle for Indonesian students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This research aims to categorize typical syntactic errors made by these learners and evaluate how their native language (L1) structural logic interferes with English NP formation. By applying a syntactic analysis, the study contrasts the prenominal, right-branching framework of English with the head-initial, post-nominal patterns found in Indonesian. The investigation also considers the importance of syntax in cultivating Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and examines how the misuse of modifiers and determiners leads to predictable error patterns. The results indicate that students frequently transpose Indonesian word order onto English, resulting in systematic misorderings and omissions. Ultimately, this study offers pedagogical strategies for improving syntactic instruction to enhance linguistic precision and student participation in EFL settings.

Abstract

This research investigates how pronunciation relates to spelling performance among English language learners, focusing on the role of phonological awareness in shaping their spelling behaviors and mistakes. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study involved six Indonesian university students majoring in English, who responded to a ten-item online questionnaire. The results indicate that learners frequently depend on how words are pronounced when trying to spell them. While this approach may work for regular words, it often causes errors in cases involving silent letters or irregular spellings, such as in knife, receipt, and colonel. Although participants demonstrated some awareness of these inconsistencies, their strong reliance on phonological strategies contributed to typical mistakes, including omitting silent letters or confusing similar-sounding words. These findings imply that pronunciation-based strategies alone are not sufficient for accurate spelling in English. Therefore, English instruction should include focused teaching on spelling conventions, morphological elements, and visual recognition of word patterns. Such an approach is expected to enhance learners’ spelling accuracy and minimize confusion resulting from the unpredictable nature of English orthography.
