Abstract

This study investigates how syllable division rules influence English spelling patterns and their pedagogical implications in language learning. Despite the irregular nature of English orthography, this research finds that consistent patterns particularly VC/CV structures and morphemic boundaries can guide learners in decoding and spelling. Through qualitative analysis of vocabulary samples, student writings, and classroom observations, the study reveals that many spelling errors stem from a lack of syllable awareness. Furthermore, it demonstrates that integrating syllable-based instruction improves decoding strategies, orthographic memory, and reading fluency. Challenges such as individual learner differences and English's etymological complexity are also addressed. Ultimately, the study advocates for explicit syllable instruction to enhance literacy outcomes.

Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing, grammar is essential for achieving precision and clarity, particularly when it comes to creating questions. The subject and auxiliary verb must be reversed in yes/no and wh-questions, according to the necessary grammatical form known as subject-auxiliary inversion (SAI). Using a descriptive quantitative methodology, this study seeks to analyze the frequency and patterns of SAI mistakes in the writing of EFL learners. Twenty-two undergraduate EFL students from the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU) from various academic semesters made up the participants. Using a structured grammar test modified from Azar (2009) and administered electronically using Google Forms, data were collected. The frequency and kinds of inversion mistakes were determined using descriptive statistics and error analysis in the analysis. The results demonstrate that SAI is utilized with a very high overall accuracy rate (over 95%), suggesting that the majority of students have fully absorbed this grammatical principle. Nevertheless, there were still some little mistakes, especially in statements using present simple, past simple, and present perfect auxiliary verbs. Although formal grammar teaching is generally successful, these findings indicate that there is still a need for focused reinforcement on tense-auxiliary alignment. By highlighting the significance of targeted remedial grammar exercises in improving grammatical precision in writing, the research offers practical pedagogical recommendations for EFL teaching.

Abstract

This study discusses the importance of syntax in understanding English sentence structure, particularly for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method using a library research approach by reviewing linguistics textbooks and relevant journal articles. The findings indicate that syntax plays a crucial role in organizing sentence elements such as subjects, verbs, objects, phrases, and clauses, and in interpreting meaning accurately. Syntactic knowledge helps learners understand word order, recognize grammatical relationships, and comprehend both simple and complex sentence patterns. Moreover, syntactic awareness supports learners in producing grammatically correct and meaningful sentences in communication. Therefore, mastering syntax is essential for improving learners’ understanding and effective use of English sentence structure.
