Abstract

This research investigates how pronunciation relates to spelling performance among English language learners, focusing on the role of phonological awareness in shaping their spelling behaviors and mistakes. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study involved six Indonesian university students majoring in English, who responded to a ten-item online questionnaire. The results indicate that learners frequently depend on how words are pronounced when trying to spell them. While this approach may work for regular words, it often causes errors in cases involving silent letters or irregular spellings, such as in knife, receipt, and colonel. Although participants demonstrated some awareness of these inconsistencies, their strong reliance on phonological strategies contributed to typical mistakes, including omitting silent letters or confusing similar-sounding words. These findings imply that pronunciation-based strategies alone are not sufficient for accurate spelling in English. Therefore, English instruction should include focused teaching on spelling conventions, morphological elements, and visual recognition of word patterns. Such an approach is expected to enhance learners’ spelling accuracy and minimize confusion resulting from the unpredictable nature of English orthography.

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.
