Abstract

Studies comparing language proficiency and pronunciation errors are under-researched in EFL environments. The present study aims to explain the differences and pronunciation errors found among students from Indonesia and Thailand. This quantitative study employed a comparative design. The participants were sixty-two public secondary schools in Indonesia and Thailand. The research instruments used were pronunciation tests and closed-ended questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods.  The results showed a significant difference in English pronunciation between the two groups of students: Indonesian and Thai. The Indonesian students made errors in the pronunciation of specific vowels and consonants. In contrast, the Thai learners could not correctly pronounce specific vowels and consonants. Language exposure, the learners’ native language, language anxiety, and phonological knowledge were identified as major factors influencing pronunciation errors. The findings indicate that Indonesian and Thai students exhibit different patterns of English pronunciation errors, influenced by linguistic and non-linguistic factors.

Abstract

This classroom action research investigated the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing critical thinking skills within English speaking activities at Global Madani Senior High School. Conducted over two iterative cycles with 21 eleventh-grade students, the study employed a mixed-methods approach within a Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests, analyzed via a paired sample t-test, revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' critical speaking abilities, with the average score rising from 50.71 to 81.90 (p .001). Qualitative data from observations, recordings, and student journals illustrated a clear developmental trajectory: initial engagement in Cycle 1 exposed deficits in argument structure and logical reasoning, prompting the introduction of targeted scaffolds—including explicit argumentation frameworks and peer feedback protocols—in Cycle 2. The findings demonstrate that PBL’s efficacy is significantly amplified when integrated with responsive, reflective CAR cycles and structured linguistic-cognitive supports. The study concludes that embedding PBL within an adaptive CAR process fosters a synergistic environment where authentic problem-solving motivates communication, and deliberate scaffolding transforms engagement into disciplined, critical spoken discourse, offering a replicable model for enhancing higher-order thinking in EFL contexts.
