This study looks at how students at SMKN 2 Maros see English language mistakes in travel brochures. Using a simple research method, data were gathered through a questionnaire with 20 questions, answered by 52 students from classes X DKV, X ULP, and XI ULP. The results showed that most students (55%) often notice language mistakes in travel brochures, which affects how they understand and view the content. Even though there are many mistakes, most students (61.54%) said they usually understand the meaning of the words in the brochures. This means that while mistakes are common, they do not completely stop students from understanding. However, these mistakes do affect how trustworthy and reliable the brochures seem to the readers. The study suggests that fixing the English in travel brochures could make them work better and be more appealing. By reducing language mistakes, brochures can do a better job of attracting and informing potential travellers. This research shows how important it is to have correct and clear language in promotional materials, highlighting the need for good editing and proofreading when making travel brochures.

Abstract

Second language acquisition (SLA) is a multifaceted process, and speaking proficiency is often one of the most challenging aspects for learners. This study investigates the impact of two critical factors language anxiety and first language (L1) transfer on the speaking skills of second language learners, with a focus on Indonesian learners of Mandarin. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study explores how anxiety and L1 transfer shape learners' ability to speak confidently and fluently. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with five participants who have experienced both language anxiety and L1 transfer challenges. The findings reveal that language anxiety significantly impedes fluency, leading to hesitation, cognitive interference, and avoidance behavior. Similarly, L1 transfer had both positive and negative effects on speaking skills, with pronunciation and sentence structure often influenced by the learners' native language. The interaction between language anxiety and L1 transfer created a compounded effect, with negative transfer exacerbating anxiety and further hindering speaking performance. Positive L1 transfer, however, helped to alleviate anxiety and facilitated smoother speech. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing both emotional and linguistic challenges in SLA, suggesting that educators should adopt strategies to manage anxiety while leveraging positive L1 transfer to enhance speaking proficiency

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the effect of interaction on ESL acquisition in a Mandarin-speaking environment in terms of comprehension, output confidence, and linguistic accuracy. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and reflective journals involving Mandarin-speaking ESL learners. The findings show that interactive learning environments significantly enhance comprehension by enabling learners to negotiate meaning and clarify complex linguistic forms. Besides, the regular activity of interactive tasks enhances learners' confidence and precision in complex language production. Scaffolding by the teacher and corrective feedback, especially through methods like recasting and elicitation, further fine-tune grammatical accuracy and pronunciation to overcome specific problems of Mandarin-speaking learners. The study emphasizes interaction as a necessary bridge between input and output, therefore offering practical insights for ESL instruction in linguistically distinct environments.
