WRITING GUIDE

A. Typing
1. Your papers must be typed or printed on a computer.
2. Set the typewriter or word processor to 25 lines per page (almost the same
as double space) and keep it there throughout the entire manuscript, except
the pages with tables or figures and those with sub-heading as the last line
(the 25th line).
3. In the Page Setup dialogue box, set the margins as follows: 4 cm for the
left, 3 cm for the right, 4 for the top, and 2.5 cm for bottom as shown in
Figure 1. In Paragraph dialogue box, you have to set the before and after

spacing at 0 pt (zero), and the line spacing at 26 pt as shown in Figure 2.

of the manuscript

Figure 2. How to setup the spaces


of the manuscript

4. Use normal paragraphs in which the first line is indented seven characters
for all paragraphs in the manuscript except the abstract, block quotes, titles

captions.

Page

and headings, subheadings, references, table titles, notes, and figure

5. Use a 12 point Times New Roman font for the whole manuscript, except for
the pages of cover and title (14 point).
6. Capitalize the first letter following a colon if the clause following the colon is
a complete sentence.
7. Make sure the text is left aligned for headings and subheadings, and
justified for the whole manuscript. With left aligned text, the left margin
forms a straight line and the right margin is ragged. With justified text both
the left and right margins form a straight line.
8. Do not hyphenate (split) words at the end of a line.
9. Number all the pages of the body and appendix with Arabic numerals (e.g.,
1, 20, 47, etc.) and those of the introductory section with small Roman
alphabets (e.g., i, vii, xii, etc.). The page number must be at the center
bottom of the page.

B. Writing in General
1. You must use complete sentences.
2. The first sentence of a paragraph must be independent (able to stand on its
own). For example, consider While these studies are important, there is .
This sentence would be correct in the middle of a paragraph, but as the first
sentence, it should more appropriately read, While studies of the effects of

whatever on whatever else are important, there is .


3. Try not to use slangs (e.g., ... put a damper on ...).
4. Do not use contractions. For example, instead of it's, use it is.

Page

5. If you are doubtful about the spelling of a word, do not guess. Look up the
correct spelling in an appropriate reference source.
6. Proofread the copy that you submit and do correct minor typographical
errors, formatting, spelling, or even the wording, with a pencil. These
corrections are inevitable and will communicate that you are serious about
your work.

C. Style Details in General


1. Avoid excessive use of the terms I, me, and my, as well as the phrase

personally speaking .
2. Avoid the use of sexist language. For example, consistently referring to a
person as a him or he when it is just as likely for the person to be a she or a

her, is sexist. However, using (s)he or him/her all of the time can also be
awkward. If you phrase it right, you can often use the word person instead.

3. Avoid using 'empty words' or words which serve no purpose. For example, In
the Smith (1990) study it was found that . should read more like Smith
(1990) found that .
4. Generally speaking, when writing a thesis, use past tenses for abstract,
introduction, and research methodology; when writing a thesis proposal, use
future tenses for those sections. Results and discussion sections can be in
the present tenses.
5. Get friends to read it. If they cannot understand it, then it needs work. If you
cannot get a friend to read it, then try to read it yourself making believe that
you are naive.

D. Abbreviations

1. When abbreviating any terms, spell them out the first time (in both the
abstract and again in the body of the manuscript, if need be). For example,

The Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS) was used to .


2. Note the following common abbreviations and note also that you do not use
periods with them.

cm
mg
g
M

centimeter
milligrams
Grams
Mean

seconds

s
min
hr
IQ

minutes
hours
Intelligence

For example, The bar was 2.50 cm wide and 1.00 cm high.
3. You will often see the following Latin abbreviations used:

cf.

compare

etc.

and so forth

e.g.,

for example

i.e.,

that is

et al.

and others

vs.

versus, against

Note that (except for et al.) these abbreviations are only used in parenthetic
material. In non-parenthetic material, use the English translation.
4. Do not use too many abbreviations. Whereas one, two, or three can be
helpful, four or five can be confusing.
5. Do not use E and S as abbreviations for experimenter and subject. This was
done in articles written many years ago.

E. Numbers
1. All measurement reporting is done in metric units. In other words, use
centimeters and meters rather than inches and feet.

5
Page

2. The numbers zero through nine are spelled out ( except when it is a table or

figure number, or a metric measurement, etc .). The numbers 10 and above
are written as numbers.
3. Capitalize nouns followed by numerals or letters that denote a specific place
in a numbered series.
For example, As can be seen in Figure 3, during Block 4 of Session 2

such and such occurred .


Note that this example demonstrates one of the exceptions to the rule noted
in E.2.
4. In the abstract, use digits for all numbers except when they begin a
sentence. Note that this example also demonstrates one of the exceptions
to the rule noted in E.2.
5. Spell out any number when it is the first thing in a sentence.
For example, the sentence 34 students were used. is not appropriate and
should read Thirty-four students were used.
6. Try to be consistent with number formats. That is, if you are reporting a
series of related numbers, they should all be presented with the same
number of decimal places (it should be two decimals). For an example, see
D.2 above.

F. Citations in the Text


1. If you use someone's words or ideas, you must give them credit with a
citation. This is particularly important, since the penalties for plagiarism are
severe.

6
Page

2. There are numerous ways to formally cite a reference in the text. Examples
include Some fact (last name, year) . or Last name (year) noted that .
or In <year>, <last name> reported that .
3. The first time the reference is cited in the text, spell out all of the authors
last names.
For example, Miller, Rosellini, and Seligman (1975) suggested that .
4. With articles that have three or more authors use the Latin abbreviation for
"and others" when the reference is cited a second (or third) time. For
example, Miller et al. (1975) suggested that . or Some fact (Miller et

al., 1975) .
5. If the citation is in parentheses and you need to use the word and,
use the ampersand (&) instead.
For example, Some (e.g., Estes & Skinner, 1940) have suggested that . ,
as compared to Estes and Skinner (1940) have suggested .
Note also that the opposite applies as well, that is, if the citation is not in
parentheses, you must use the word "and".
6. Multiple citations in parentheses are placed alphabetically and are
separated by a semicolon and a space.
For example, Some fact (Carlson, 1972; Moon, 1968; Partin, 1980).
7. If you cite something second hand, you must make it clear (e.g., Some fact

(Smith, as cited in Jones, Year)). Note that in this example, only the Jones
reference would be placed in the reference section.

G. Quotations
1. You must give page numbers for direct quotes.

7
Page

For example, Smith (1978) noted that "the world is round" (p. 1) or Smith

(1978, p. 1) noted that "the world is round."


2. Three or four quotes in a 10 page paper are about the upper limit.
3. Display a quotation of more than 40 words as free-standing block of text
indented 5 spaces from the left margin (usual space format). Omit the
quotation marks and include the page number in parentheses after the last
period (as shown in Example 01). Also, if the quotation is more than one
paragraph, indent the first line of the second and any additional paragraphs
5 spaces. You should keep the spaces between the lines the same as those
applied in whole manuscript. Do not use the single space (as shown in
Example 02).
Example 01

This means that EFL learners are expected to engage themselves in


transactions in English not only with NSs but also, more frequently, with
NNSs. Moedjito (2009) notes that
Therefore, the classical concept of comfortable intelligibility
needs to be critically re-examined. As a solution to this
problem, Jenkins (1998) proposed a new concept of
intelligibility, that is, mutual intelligibility. It is intelligibility

This means that EFL learners are expected to engage themselves in


transactions in English not only with NSs but also, more frequently, with
NNSs. Moedjito (2009, p. 4) notes that
Therefore, the classical concept of comfortable intelligibility needs
to be critically re-examined. As a solution to this problem, Jenkins
(1998) proposed a new concept of intelligibility, that is, mutual
intelligibility. It is intelligibility which enables NNSs of English to
communicate successfully with other NNSs from different L1
backgrounds (Jenkins, 1998, p. 119). This type of intelligibility is
now regarded as a legitimate goal of pronunciation teaching today.
However, we believe that this cannot be a final solution for EFL
learners because, although the number of NNSs is greater than that
of NSs, NNSs-NSs interactions do still exist. EFL learners are still
expected to be involved in oral communication with NSs as well as
with NNSs. There is a need to revise the concept of intelligibility
once again so that we can accommodate this situation. Moedjito and
Ito (2008a) have proposed a new concept of global intelligibility as a
candidate to expand Jenkins mutual intelligibility. It is intelligibility
NNSs should aim at when they try to talk not only to NSs but also to
NNSs (NNSs-NSs and NNSs-NNSs). We believe that this should be
a legitimate goal for pronunciation teaching for EFL learners.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

My foremost thanks go to God for granting me the strength and health to


study at doctoral program at Joint Graduate School in the Science of School
Education, Hyogo University of Teacher Education. My sincere thanks go to my
supervisor Professor Harumi Ito who gave me constant support and
encouragement during my study at Naruto University of Education, without
whom the completion of this work would have hardly been possible. I also wish to
acknowledge my debt to all the faculty members of English Language Department
of Naruto University of Education who provided precious feedback that helped
improving the quality of my research.
My thanks go to all graduate and undergraduate students of English
Language Department of Naruto University of Education who helped me in data
collection and always motivated me and warmly offered valuable help and such a
great friendship.
I would also like to thank Masruri, the former headmaster of Masbagik
Senior High School, who helped me run participants and was flexible in
accommodating my research; to the Indonesian headmasters, the Japanese and
Indonesian teacher and student respondents who were very cooperative when
collecting data; and the ENL-speaker, ESL-speaker, and EFL-speaker respondents
without whom it is impossible to finish the experiments.

26

Last, but certainly not least, a ton of thanks goes to my mother, brothers,
Page

and sisters for their continuous prayers; to Rustini for keeping me fed, watered,
stronger, and sane; and to Bunga and Hikari for keeping the sun shining.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study


We have seen an advance of globalization in the last decades. A prominent
impact of the globalisation is that there is an increase of oral communication not
only between native English speakers and non-native English speakers (NESs
NNSs) but also between non-native English speakers themselves (NNSsNNSs)
(Jenkins, 2000; Walker, 2001). This has influenced the status and roles of English.
Today English has really become a global language. A pedagogical implication of
this situation is that researchers and practitioners have come to reappraise the
importance of pronunciation for successful oral communication (e.g., Carruthers,
1987; Celce-Murcia, Brinton, & Goodwin, 1996; Dalton & Seidlhofer, 1994;
Fraser, 1999). However, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), a
predominant paradigm of todays English language teaching, has rather underrated
the importance of pronunciation, focusing more on the message-oriented
communicative transactions in language classrooms. It is high time that

33
Page

pronunciation teaching for EFL learners was to be re-examined, keeping in mind


the importance of pronunciation in global oral communication across cultures.
In the process of re-examination of pronunciation teaching we will face an
inevitable question related to the goal of pronunciation teaching: What level of
pronunciation should EFL learners aim at? Traditionally, the goal of
pronunciation teaching has been to enable EFL learners to attain native-like
pronunciation of English. However, as more and more people have come to use
English as a means of wider communication across cultures, the focus of
pronunciation teaching has shifted from how learners can attain native-like
pronunciation to how learners can transact information effectively in oral
communication. As a result, intelligibility rather than native-like pronunciation
has become a legitimate goal of pronunciation teaching (Abercrombie, 1963;
Celce-Murcia et al., 1996; Jenkins, 2000).
This leads us to another crucial question in pronunciation teaching: What
aspects of pronunciation constitute intelligibility? It is not so simple a question to
answer since intelligibility is generally divided into three types: comfortable
intelligibility (i.e., intelligibility non-native speakers should aim at when they try
to talk to native speakers), mutual intelligibility (i.e., intelligibility non-native
speakers should aim at when they try to talk to non-native speakers), and global
intelligibility (i.e., intelligibility non-native speakers should aim at when they try
to talk not only to native speakers but also to non-native speakers). Comfortable
intelligibility is usually achieved by a successful manipulation of rhythm,
intonation, and word and sentence stresses (Celce-Murcia et al., 1996; Gimson,
2001) while mutual intelligibility is usually achieved by a successful manipulation
of segmental features (consonants and vowels) and sentences stress (Jenkins,

34
Page

2000). Global intelligibility (Moedjito & Ito, 2008) is usually achieved by a


successful manipulation of segmental accuracy and word stress, which are the
focus of the present paper.
It is rather difficult to say it is fortunate or not, but in Japan these two
aspects of pronunciation (segmental accuracy and word stress) have been the main
focus of paper-pencil tests of pronunciation in nation-wide English tests by the
National Center for University Entrance Examinations. The inclusion of
pronunciation questions in paper-pencil tests of English proficiency has long been
rather severely criticized by many EFL researchers (e.g., Wakabayashi & Negishi,
1993; Ito, 2005), mainly on the basis of the lack of its validity as the means of
evaluating EFL learners pronunciation. On an empirical basis, however, a
complete consensus has not been attained yet. Sasaki and Shirahata (1992)
reported that paper-pencil tests of primary word stress placement were valid to a
certain degree in measuring learners speaking performance although Takei (1989)
revealed that paper-pencil pronunciation tests, for segmental accuracy or for
primary word stress placement, were not valid at all in evaluating learners
speaking performance. However, these studies used the participants performance
of pronunciation of isolated words as the data for their analysis. This means that it
is not clear how learners knowledge of pronunciation measured by paper-pencil
tests is related to their oral performance and intelligibility in actual oral
communication on discourse level.

B.

Scope of the Study


In order to investigate more deeply, the subjects of the study are limited to

Indonesian EFL teachers and native English speakers while the object of the study

35
Page

is limited to Indonesian EFL teachers and native English speakers perceptions of


Indonesian EFL learners mispronunciations of English sounds.

C. Statement of the Problem


In order to obtain such missing information, we have conducted an
empirical study which examines how EFL learners knowledge of pronunciation
assessed by a paper-and-pencil pronunciation test is related to their oral
performance and intelligibility in actual oral communication, focusing on the
following three research questions:
1. Which aspects of EFL learners knowledge of pronunciation are more related
to their oral performance?
2. Which aspects of EFL learners knowledge of pronunciation are more related
to their intelligibility?
3. Which aspects of EFL learners oral performance are more related to their
intelligibility?

D. Purpose of the Study


The study aims at investigating Indonesian EFL teachers and native English
speakers perceptions of mispronunciations of English sounds produced by
Indonesian EFL learners, focusing on the following points:
1. Mispronunciations of English sounds which are common and serious among
Indonesian EFL learners;
2. The difference in the perceptions of mispronunciations of English sounds
produced by Indonesian EFL learners between Indonesian EFL teachers and
native English speakers; and

36
Page

3. Mispronunciations which are pedagogically significant.

E.

Significance of the Study


The current study has its significance on two levels: on the level of research

on intelligible pronunciation and on the level of pronunciation instruction. First,


although many studies have examined intelligible pronunciation in the context of
either the interaction between NSs and NNSs (e.g., Field, 2005) or the interaction
among NNSs (e.g., Cole, 2002; Jenkins, 2002), relatively little research has dealt
with global intelligibility of EFL learners speech. More specifically, in Indonesia
almost no research has been conducted in the area of intelligible pronunciation,
while in Japan most research has been carried out in the context of NSs and NNSs
interaction. Therefore, by exploring factors determining global intelligibility of
EFL learners speech, the current study is expected to make a useful contribution
to research for global intelligibility in the worldwide context or more specifically
in the context of Asian countries.
Secondly, as far as pronunciation instruction is concerned, the findings of
the research are expected to provide reference points for EFL teachers in the
framework of English as a global language. These points will provide EFL
teachers with useful information on what they should pay more attention to when
they are dealing with their students pronunciation. In the context of English
language education in Indonesia, the findings of the study will hopefully reinforce
the promotion of the inclusion of pronunciation teaching, and encourage explicit
pronunciation instruction in Indonesian EFL classrooms.
