From Constitution to Conversation: Amazigh and the Delayed Dream of Full Recognition
Full text linkThis study explores attitudes toward the Amazigh language among a diverse sample of 150 Moroccan participants, focusing on perceptions of its preservation, maintenance, and integration into public life.

Most participants identified integration into priority domains of public life as the most effective strategy for achieving this goal. While many participants expressed great satisfaction with the constitutionalization of Amazigh, a notable proportion considered the step ineffective and inadequate, highlighting the lack of activation of its official status. These findings underscore the necessity of implementing tangible measures to elevate Amazigh's presence in Morocco’s sociopolitical and cultural landscape

The Impact of Songs on Vocabulary Acquisition by ESL Undergraduate Students
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of music on vocabulary acquisition among ESL undergraduate students at the UM School of Languages, students’ preferences for music choices, and their motivations for using music as a learning tool. By analyzing the questionnaire responses of 81 participants, the study found the following results. First, the vast majority of participants found listening to English songs helpful in learning the English language. Second, pop music was the most preferred genre of music among the participants, but rock, jazz, and rap also received a significant amount of support. A small number of participants chose other types of music. In addition, students’ motivations for using music as a learning tool mainly included singing along with songs, listening to songs repeatedly, and reading lyrics. These motivations stemmed from students’ concerns about pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary recall, and song meaning. Strengths of the study include the fact that the quantity and quality of the data were adequate and the results were well presented. However, there are some limitations of the study, such as the limitations of the study population and the subjectivity of the data. Therefore, this paper suggests further expansion of the study population, incorporation of objectivity measurement tools, exploration of the effects of different music genres, and provision of relevant training and guidance for teachers. In conclusion, the results of this study validate the effectiveness of music as a tool for vocabulary acquisition and have practical implications for promoting students’ language learning
The Phonological Deviations: An Error Analysis of the Indonesian EFL Learners’ Pronunciation
Full text linkThe phonological deviation refers to the deviation of the phonological system from the target language norms. This research aims to reveal the causes of deviations in English pronunciation produced by the English college students’ pronunciation. The phonological deviations in producing consonants and vowels were discovered and their causes were revealed extensively. The results of the research were several deviations voiced consonants, voiceless consonants, short vowels, and long vowels. The phonological deviations included the change from /ʒ/ into /ʃ/*, /z/ into /s/*, /v/ into /s/*, /θ/ into /t/*, /ʃ/ into /s/*, /æ/ into /e/*, /əʊ/ into /o/*, /ɒ/ into /o/*, /u:/ into /u/*, and /i:/ into /i/*. The causes of these errors were the interlingual and intralingual factors. The interlingual factors occurred when the participants' habits in using the phonological patterns, systems, or rules prevented the participants from acquiring the correct phonological patterns or rules of the target language. On the other hand, the intralingual factors occurred when the participants did not know the phonological patterns or rules in the target language well. This research used a qualitative method. It is intended to describe and explain the participants’ ability in English pronunciation based on the recorded and collected data and facts, which are then analyzed systematically to get conclusions
