ELT teachers in Indonesia mostly apply an integrative language teaching approach to cover the linguistic elements of language skills. However, the pronunciation in speaking exposure is required to be accurate through the intervention of phonological awareness. Thus, this study examines the effect of phonological awareness on students’ English pronunciation and how it provokes students’ motivation in speaking English. This study used a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group which consisted of 36 participants was given a phonological awareness intervention and the control group which consisted of 36 participants was given without any intervention. The instruments of the study were a text reading-aloud task and a questionnaire. Data were then analyzed using Pearson correlation and independent sample t-test. The findings revealed that phonological awareness instruction positively impacted participants’ pronunciation performance with better phonemes articulation, more appropriate stress determination, and more adequate intonation that directly provoked their speaking motivation. Therefore, EFL teachers should determine the phonological awareness approach for the potential English competence and performance integrated into the learning syllabus more intensively.

Managing the flow of language in broader culture-based expressions in standardized communication belongs to one of crucial things to gain proficiency in English. Recent studies focus solely on the phenomenon of language proficiency, without considering the integrative elements of language proficiency as a learning achievement. Therefore, this study aims to investigate a causal-effect relationship between students’ ability to choose the right vocabulary and their communication skills. The researcher conducted an afterthought research design whose sole purpose was to accurately see the impact of one variable on another. In this study, 40 tenth grade vocational high school students in Badung, Bali, Indonesia participated using a targeted sampling technique. Data were collected by conducting two types of tests used to measure students' ability in distinguishing vocabulary use in listening activities and to check writing proficiency test. The data were analyzed with SPSS 25.0. The results showed that the ability to distinguish vocabulary statistically affected the clear flow of English communication, such as in building their conversation, lack of confidence, lack of variety, or improper politeness led to misunderstandings. Therefore, this study suggests that teachers use a teaching strategy to integrate all elements of communication for better language skills.
