Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

Decisions and problems are two common things that are faced by novice English teachers in their transition time from being university students to a professional career as teachers. Decisions that are made and problems that are faced by novice English teachers might reveal how their professional identity is formed. This study is intended to explore how the stories that novice English teachers tell or share regarding their decisions in entering the career and the problems that they face form their professional identity. The participants in this narrative inquiry study were 4 novice English teachers who graduated from the English department, took part in teaching practice, and have been teaching for less than five years in schools after their graduation. The data of this study were in the form of narratives which were collected from the participants through the written and telephone interviews. The narratives were analyzed using thematic analysis and the identities were classified based on Karaolis and Philippou’s (2019) elements of professional identity. The findings show that decisions that were made by the novice English teachers formed their professional identity in four stages. They are before entering teaching, early stage, after a while in the profession, and current stage. The identities that are formed are in terms of their self-esteem, self-efficacy, professional commitment, job satisfaction, work motivation, task orientation, and future perspective. The identities are formed both in positive and negative ways. Furthermore, the problems that they faced formed their professional identity in terms of their self-esteem, self-efficacy, professional commitment, job satisfaction, and task orientation in positive and negative ways.

Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

The study aims to investigate the errors in the long vowel realizations committed by students of English Language Education Department. It is a case study of the English Language Education Department students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. The study employed qualitative method. The data were the recorded pronunciation of twenty students from the Speaking for Informal Interaction class at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. The data were collected when the students performed a storytelling for three to five minutes. In the data analysis, all of the recordings were carefully listened and the mispronunciation of words containing the targeted long vowels was identified. Upon the long vowel error identification, the students’ long vowel production was phonologically transcribed and assigned into the table of long vowels. The table was set according to the classification of the five types of English long vowels, namely [ɑ:], [ɛ:], [i:], [ɔ:], [u:]. Further, the phonological transcription analysis referred to Received Pronunciation (RP) and General American (GA) as the accepted pronunciation standards. The result shows that the English long vowels [i:], [ɑ:], [ɛ:], [u:], and [ɔ:] are replaced with the short vowels [ʌ], [i], [ɛ], [u], and [ɔ] respectively. The replacement is implemented due to the absence of the targeted sounds in the students native language (Bahasa). This phenomenon is the result of phonological transfer.
