Abstract

This journal aims to analyze the effectiveness of using phonetic symbols in the pronunciation of students who speak English as a foreign language (EFL) by measuring students' capabilities in pronouncing English reading or sentences with phonetic transcription. This study explores to what extent the use of phonetic symbols can help EFL students improve their pronunciation. The research method used Quantitative Descriptive by using table percentage with 25 EFL students in 4th semester in the English department from State Islamic University of North Sumatera as participants. These students were selected to read the sentences with phonetic transcription by using WhatsApp application and Voice note features to read the sentences. During the research, students weren't given teaching materials containing phonetic symbols and were asked to read and pronounce the English sentences with their pure ability. Data was collected through pronunciation tests. This test is intended to measure students' pronunciation abilities and the progress in reading sentences using phonetic symbols. The results showed that there were 72% of the English department students who were categorized as capable in reading sentences using phonetic transcription and 28% of all students are incapable of reading the sentences provided. It was concluded that the phonetic symbols helped EFL students to pronounce difficult sounds in English. In conclusion, the use of phonetic symbols proved effective in improving the pronunciation of EFL students. Phonetic symbols can be a useful tool in helping students improve their pronunciation in speaking English due to the capability of most students in reading English sentences.

Abstract

This article examines various phonological patterns and processes, providing an overview of the current understanding and research in the field of phonology. This article aims to provide an overview of the current understanding and research in phonology by conducting a comprehensive analysis of relevant scholarly articles, books, and research papers. It explores fundamental concepts such as phonemes, allophones, and distinctive features, and delves into the study of phonological processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, and vowel harmony. This article is non-research type and involves literature review that takes research sources from experts and then collects these sources in one article. The review begins by exploring the fundamental concepts of phonology, such as phonemes, allophones, and distinctive features. It discusses different phonological processes, including assimilation, dissimilation, and vowel harmony, and their role in shaping the sound patterns of languages. It also explores studies that analyze how students acquire the phonological systems of their native language and the role of phonological awareness in reading and spelling skills. In addition, the review addresses the impact of phonological processes on second language acquisition and the challenges faced by EFL learners and talks about the importance of phonology in sociolinguistic contexts. This literature review provides a comprehensive overview of phonological patterns and processes, highlighting their significance in understanding language structure, acquisition, and sociolinguistic variation.
