This research aimed at investigating the extent of accentedness and intelligibility as well as the acceptability of IndonesianÂ foreign-accented speech perceived by native and non-native listeners, as well as finding their correlation to each other. ItÂ used qualitative research. The participant of the research was selected using purposive sampling. The participants wereÂ divided into speakers and listeners. There are six speakers and four listeners selected. The four listeners were native and nonnativeÂ listeners who rated and transcribed six recorded reading of Indonesian speakers by means of SPIN (Speech PerceptionÂ in Noise) test. The results show that native listeners rate the speech almost the same way as non-native listeners do. TheÂ speeches with clear and accurate pronunciation are rated highly accepted and fully intelligible, regardless of having a veryÂ strong accent. In contrast, less clear and accurate pronunciations, as well as a very strong accent of the speeches, are ratedÂ unacceptable and still reasonably intelligible. The result of the correlation test between accentedness and intelligibility asÂ well as accentedness and acceptability of the accent finds on no account of correlation to each other. Therefore, accentednessÂ and intelligibility plus accentedness and acceptability of the accent are independent, so that strong foreign accent could stayÂ acceptable and intelligible. The factors found to influence the judgment are the familiarity of the accent, clarity, and accuracyÂ of pronunciation. Aforementioned findings have implication to challenge English teachers in Indonesia to develop meaningfulÂ activities to teach English pronunciation accurately to be regarded as fully intelligible and acceptable by listeners, especiallyÂ native English listeners.

Until these days, the possibility of face-to-face teaching learning process in any universities is quite low. Therefore, the need of online learning materials for online or/and blended learning is inevitable. The present research aimed to develop an onlinebook for Reading 1 course at 3 universities in Lamongan. Unlike other online ELT books which is western-oriented, this online course book was developed based on Lamongan-Javanese’ local wisdom. A total of 135 freshmen and 3 lecturers were involved as the subjects. The results of need analysis showed that 1) the freshmen have positive attitude towards English reading even though they confronted by some problems, 2) the lecturers seemed to have different interpretations on their freshmen’ reading preferences, and 3) the students’ reading comprehension level needed to be improved. A number of implications regarding these findings were discussed as well in this research.

Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teaching Vol 5, No 1: June 2021
Publisher : Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU)

There have been widely exposed researches that analyze accented and intelligible speech of foreign language; yet, the study concerning listeners' awareness of the pronunciation errors is hardly found. Therefore, the current study aims to find out segmental features and the source of errors that have caused unintelligible speech of Indonesian-accented speech and describe the listeners' awareness of the errors. This descriptive qualitative research investigates listeners' transcripts of Indonesian-accented speeches through purposive sampling. The standard orthography transcripts are then transformed into phonemic transcripts. They are analyzed by error analysis based on phonological operation by Davenport and Hannahs. The result is further checked by the listeners to generate their awareness of the errors through interviews. There are consonants causing unintelligibility more than vowels. Furthermore, it is found that there are six pronunciation features affecting listeners' awareness of speakers' pronunciation errors: 1) aspiration, 2) spelling system, 3) blended phonemes, 4) absent phonemes, 5) different articulation, and 6) homophone in the research.

Linguistics’ research has proved that the acquisition order for foreign-language is not a static order but less consistent. Therefore, teachers of foreign language urgently need to understand the acquisition order of linguistics components to achieve an appropriate learning outcome, especially on syntactic mastery of the target language. For Indonesian learners, English sentence which employs verbs as its predicate is one of most complex linguistics component to learn and apply in their writing. The absence of a copula verb in Indonesian sentences which mostly ignored by some Indonesian learners affects the problem. Therefore, this study examines the English syntax acquisition order toward third and sixth grade of Indonesian learners in a descriptive qualitative approach. The participant is two learners of the third and sixth grade of Islamic Elementary School Lamongan who are requested to compose an essay writing three times to further analysis based on their grammatical function. The data is therefore in the form of writing produced by the participants about family, holiday and friend. The result indicates that both learners acquire five sentence patterns in their stage, they are S-V, S-V-sP, S-V-dO, S-V-dO-A, and S-V-A-sP. Meanwhile, the sentence pattern of S-V-sP is in the first order of acquisition by both levels of learners, while the last order acquired is the most complex one, S-V-A-sP.

Indonesian students in senior high school in the language program found it difficult to make both English interrogative sentences and Mandarin interrogative sentences. To assist the English and Mandarin teachers in overcoming the problem, a contrastive study of both English and Mandarin interrogative sentences needs to be investigated. Hence, this article purposes to reveal the similarities and differences between English and Mandarin interrogative sentences found in Indonesian textbooks used by teachers. Qualitative descriptive research was used by describing both similarities and differences. The result generates several similarities and differences in interrogative sentences between English and Mandarin. Both languages are similar because they both have five kinds of interrogative sentences which have the same meaning and required similar answers. Among five types of interrogative sentences in English or Mandarin, some of them use several predicates and object simultaneously in one question. The use of the auxiliary verb in English and Mandarine's interrogative sentence is dissimilar. In English interrogative sentences, auxiliary verbs are used accord with the tenses used, while in Mandarin they are not. Besides, auxiliary verbs in English interrogative sentences must precede the subject, but in Mandarin, they are at the end of the sentence.

An analysis of the students’ needs demonstrated that there is no primary instructional material of speaking for beginner utilized in the classroom. In addition, both lecturers and students preferred the utilization of an authentic audio-visual material like YouTube videos rather than a traditional material taken from textbook to accelerate their speaking proficiency. The current study sought to develop educational YouTube videos-based instructional material of speaking for beginner course through Borg & Gall model that cover three main stages out of ten stages; preliminary research, model development, and model validation. Fifty-nine students who attended speaking for beginner course of three universities in Lamongan; Darul Ulum Islamic University, Billfath University, and the Islamic University of Lamongan participated in the try-out stage. Three kinds of Instruments are questionnaire and interview guidance that were adapted from Djahida, while validation checklist was adopted from Beaudin and Balasubramanian, Shetty & Sathyanarayana. The instrucional material developed in this study is so-titled ‘Speaking for Beginner: A way to speak like natives’. The acceptability revealed in the students’ evaluation at the try-out demonstrates that, the material was generally good and acceptable for the students and the lecturers. Such results bring about the conclusion that ‘Speaking for Beginner: A way to speak like natives’ is suitable and applicable to the speaking for beginner classroom.
