The phonological features of Korean English refer to the unique pronunciationpatterns and sound influences that arise when Korean speakers use English, oftenshaped by differences between the two languages' sound systems. This studyhadinvestigated the phonological challenges faced by Korean learners of English at Joyful Education, focusing on how the inherent differences between the Korean and Englishphonological systems had impacted their pronunciation. Despite efforts to improveEnglish proficiency, many Korean students had encountered persistent difficulties inarticulating English sounds due to phonetic interference from their native language, limited exposure to native speakers, and the distinct characteristics of Korean English. This research had employed descriptive qualitative methods, including analysis of recorded speech, interviews, and observations, to document common pronunciationerrors and strategies employed by learners to enhance their pronunciation. The findingshad revealed systematic pronunciation errors, such as vowel substitutions, consonant cluster reductions, and misapplied stress patterns, that had affected communicationefficacy and intelligibility. Additionally, the results had emphasized the importanceof tailored pedagogical interventions to address these phonological difficulties, ultimatelycontributing to enhanced English proficiency and confidence among learners.

Japanese learners often find it difficult to speak English clearly because thetwolanguages are quite different, especially in terms of pronunciation.This study aimedtoinvestigate whether and how the phonological features of Japanese English languagebyselected Japanese YouTubers reflect a changes or improvements influencedbythetechnological exposure and frequent interaction with English language online. This studyemployed a qualitative research design with a descriptive phonological approach, thestudy analyzed recurring English words and sentences in vlogs to identify both JapaneseEnglish segmental and suprasegmental features. The findings of the study revealedaconsistent phonological patterns shaped by Japanese English, alongside with instancesofnear-native pronunciation in sounds such as /ɑ/, /dʒ/, /n/, and /ŋ/, likely a result ofrepeated exposure to General American English through the use of digital media. Suprasegmental phonological features showed variation in intonation and a tendencytomisplace stress patterns, it suggests both influence from Japanese phonology and adaptiveuse driven by the communicative demands of content creation. These results indicatedthat informal, technology-driven language exposure may foster a greater phonological proficiency than traditional learning, a grammar-focused instruction. It is recommendedthat English language educators integrate an authentic digital content into teachingpractices. Future research could involve more participants and use a detailedaudioanalysis to gain deeper insights.

Ian Pogoy Petallar, et al. Cordova Public College petallarian.cte.cpc@gmail.com One of the newly popular regional varieties of Philippine English that reflects the majority of the Visayas, and parts of Mindanao is Cebuano English. The primary objective of this study is to determine the phonological features of Cebuano-Visayan English, specifically the vowels, consonants, diphthongs, stress, and intonation patterns, to contribute to the body of literature. The study employed a descriptive auditory analysis on the recorded speech samples of 15 Grade 7 Junior High School students from Babag National High School, Babag 1, Lapu-Lapu City who were chosen through purposive sampling. The speech samples were transcribed using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and English teacher experts’ validation on the transcriptions was sought. The findings revealed that there is vowel sound substitution on the /ɪ/ to /i/, /i/ to /ɪ/, /ɛ/ to /i/, /ɪ/ or /eɪ/, /æ/ to /a/, /ͻ/ to /oʊw/, /ɜr/ to /ͻ/ or /i/, and /ʊ/ to /u/; the diphthongs are converted to monophthong such as /eɪ/ to /i/, /e/ or /ɛ/ and /oʊ/ to /u/ or /ʊ/; consonant sounds are substituted such as /v/ to /b/, /f/ to /p/, /z/ to /s/, /θ/ to /t/, and /ð/ to /d/; word stress is syllable-based; intonation patterns is described as very little similarity to General American English speakers. Additionally, it was found that the influence of the learners first language on their second language communication skills are the Cebuano language system, substitutions of segmental sounds, cultural influence, environmental influence, and code switching and mixing. Also, the data showed that age 12 and females among participants had the highest number of common segmental sounds substitutions in pronouncing English words. These results enhanced the phonological features of Cebuano English and confirmed earlier findings. Hence, the data of the study can be used by higher education institutions to realize that is not to push students sounding like an English native speaker, but to embrace, recognize and use the learned Cebuano English, counting this our own variety of Philippine English.
