Abstract

This study investigates the impact of regional dialects on the English pronunciation of Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. With Indonesia’s rich linguistic diversity, local dialects often influence learners’ articulation of English sounds, particularly phonemes that are absent from their native languages, such as /?/, /ð/, and /v/. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to students from various regions, including speakers of Bataknese, Sundanese, and Javanese. The findings indicate consistent patterns of L1 interference, with dialectal features shaping learners’ pronunciation and affecting their intelligibility. While some students develop metacognitive strategies to overcome pronunciation challenges, others experience anxiety or reduced confidence due to social stigma. The study highlights the need for pronunciation pedagogy that promotes intelligibility while respecting students’ cultural identity, calling for localized and inclusive instructional practices in multilingual EFL contexts.

Abstract

The Community Service Program (PEMA), held from July 13 to 21, 2025, in Bukit Sofa Village, Pematangsiantar, represents the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, particularly in the area of community engagement. Ten students from the English Education Department actively participated in a series of educational and social programs including teaching English and religious studies at MTs and MDTA Al-Khairiyah and assisting in Posyandu (Integrated Health Services Post) operations. This service not only contributed to the local community but also enhanced students’ leadership, communication, and empathy. This article elaborates on the program’s objectives, scope, methodology, outcomes, and challenges, with the hope of providing a reflective and informative example for similar initiatives.
