This study conducted a phonological analysis comparing the vowel and consonant systems of English and Mongondow, a regional language spoken in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study aimed to identify similarities and differences in the phonological structure of the two languages, focusing on vowel and consonant phonemes. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations with five native Mongondow speakers who are also English language learners. The results show that Mongondow has five vowel phonemes (A, I, U, E, O) and 17 consonant phonemes, while English has 12 pure vowels (including 8 diphthongs) and 24 consonants. These two languages have similarities in the classification of consonants based on place and manner of articulation, as well as voicing. However, Mongondow has a simpler vowel system and fewer consonant phonemes compared to English. In addition, Mongondow has unique consonant sounds, such as the alveolar trill /r/, which is rarely found in English. This study highlights the challenges faced by Mongondow speakers in pronouncing certain English sounds due to the influence of their mother tongue. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the phonological systems of both languages and provide insights for language learners and educators in addressing pronunciation difficulties. This research underscores the importance of phonological awareness in language learning and teaching, especially in multilingual contexts. The study concludes that understanding the phonological differences between English and Mongondow can help learners overcome pronunciation challenges and improve their language proficiency.

This study aims to identify illocutionary acts in Jesus' conversations with the people and His disciples in the New Indonesian Translation of the Gospel of Mark, and to explain the contextual meaning of these illocutionary acts. This study uses a qualitative approach with a documentation method, where data is collected through text analysis of the New Indonesian Translation of the Gospel of Mark. This method was chosen because it is in accordance with the aim of understanding the illocutionary acts contained in Jesus' conversations, which are expressed through His words and statements. The results of the study show that Jesus often uses assertive illocutionary acts in expressing truths about the Kingdom of God, forgiveness of sins, and moral teachings. These acts can be found in various parts of the Gospel of Mark, such as statements about repentance and faith delivered by Jesus to the people (Mark 1:15), as well as His teachings about humility, sacrifice, and the importance of inner purity. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus also uses illocutionary acts to affirm that true greatness lies in service and sacrifice (Mark 9:35, 10:45), and to teach that worldly values, such as wealth, can hinder one’s spiritual journey (Mark 10:23-25). These statements show how Jesus provides a new understanding of holiness, relationship with God, and the moral principles His followers should uphold.

This study analyzed the use of code-mixing by Generation Z, particularly English Literature students of UNIMA Batch 2021, in their WhatsApp group discussions. Since the data were in the form of written conversations rather than numerical data, this study applied a descriptive qualitative method to answer the research question. The data were collected from WhatsApp class group discussions over one semester, specifically from August 20, 2023, to December 19, 2023. This study used Hoffmann's (2014) theory to identify the types of code-mixing and Myers-Scotton’s (1998) Markedness Model as the framework. The findings revealed 113 instances of code-mixing, which were classified into three types: Insertion (63 cases), Alternation (20 cases), and Congruent Lexicalization (9 cases). The analysis also showed that 84 instances were marked, indicating intentional use for emphasis, social identity, or academic expression, while 29 instances were unmarked, suggesting a natural and habitual use of code-mixing in digital communication. The results indicate that code-mixing among these students is influenced by their academic environment, digital exposure, and peer interactions. This research contributes to the understanding of how Generation Z integrates multiple languages in everyday communication, particularly in academic settings.

This study investigated the relationship between student anxiety and English presentation performance among 32 eleventh-grade students at SMK GKST 2 Tentena. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational descriptive design, the data of this study was collected through a modified Foreign Language Class Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire and direct observation of student presentations. Results revealed that 84.4% of participants experienced high anxiety, 12.5% moderate anxiety, and 3.1% severe anxiety when presenting in English. Regarding presentation performance, 40.63% of students demonstrated good performance, 37.5% fair, 18.75% poor, and 3.12% excellent. Pearson correlation analysis yielded a strong positive correlation (r = 0.840) between student anxiety and English presentation performance, indicating that higher anxiety levels significantly impacted students' ability to present effectively in English.
