Abstract

This study investigates the experiences of prospective English teachers during their internships, focusing on how they integrate theoretical knowledge into practice and the effects of this experience on their professional development. A quantitative approach was employed, with a survey design to collect data from seventh-semester students of the English Study Program at UKI Toraja who completed their internships during the academic year 2023/2024. The sample consisted of eighteen students selected through purposive sampling due to their relevant classroom experiences. A questionnaire based on a Likert scale was used to capture students’ perceptions and experiences during their internships. The data were tabulated and analyzed using percentage formulas to interpret responses. The findings reveal significant benefits for students, including increased confidence and enhanced teaching skills. However, challenges such as a disconnect between theoretical learning and practical application, inadequate mentor support, and variations in available resources were identified as obstacles to maximizing the internship experience. This research highlights the importance of refining internship programs to better support English language student teachers. Strengthening the connection between academic coursework and practical experiences can lead to more competent and adaptive educators, enriching the overall educational landscape and improving outcomes in teacher training.

Abstract

The study of the relationship between phonology and phonetics has an important role in understanding sound systems in Indonesian. Phonology studies sound structure and its relation to meaning, while phonetics analyzes sound physically. In the context of the Indonesian language, the influence of phonology on phonetic studies can be seen in the analysis of allophones and sound variations, phonetic changes, language learning, and linguistic research. This study uses a qualitative research method, which means that this research describes qualitatively the sounds that affect other sounds and describes the voices that are affected. Every sound that is influenced by other sounds will be described and whether these sounds are influenced by sounds in Indonesian. Therefore, the combination of phonological and phonetic studies in Indonesian makes a significant contribution to the understanding and research of the phonetic aspects of the language.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the learning difficulties in reading and writing faced by first-grade students at SDN 2 Tente. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that students struggle with letter recognition, spelling words, and writing simple sentences. Factors contributing to these difficulties include lack of learning motivation, inappropriate teaching methods, and insufficient environmental support. To address these issues, teachers need to apply more varied and engaging teaching strategies and involve parents in the learning process. This study recommends schools to enhance teacher training and provide adequate learning facilities. Consequently, it is expected that students’ reading and writing abilities will improve significantly.
