6. FIRST LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE ON PRONUNCIATION ERRORS OF /Θ/ AND /Ð/ FRICATIVES AMONG INDIAN STUDENTS IN SELANGOR Muhammad Irfan Asyraf bin Muhammad Jilli Asyraf | Neesha Ng Sundram Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) [email protected] | [email protected] ABSTRACT English has been named the second language in Malaysia as it is mandated to learn within the school syllabus. However, students often need help with the pronunciation of words in the English language. Indian students are an example of said phenomenon. This is due to the interference of the mother tongue (L1), which usually results in certain sounds being replaced or omitted entirely. Hence, this study aims to investigate and identify how L1 interference affects the pronunciation of voiceless and voiced interdental fricatives (/θ/ and /ð/) in English made by Indian Selangor University students. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from five (5) Indian participants from University A (public) and University B (private) in Selangor. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants to collect the data required for this study. The results show no significant differences between the /θ/ and /ð/ pronunciation of the participants factoring from the public and private university types. Some participants showed good pronunciation and fluency in English, and others led a noticeable influence of the Tamil language in their articulation of the /θ/ and /ð/ fricatives due to various background reasons. The hypothesis is correct, and stakeholders can identify pronunciation errors and successfully address them in teaching and learning English speaking skills. Recommendations for future studies should look into increasing the sample size from various universities. Keywords: Indian, pronunciation errors, fricatives, first language interference

IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION OF PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS GOING THROUGH PRACTICUM Sri Kenchana Dewi Binti Rosli | Aisha Nabila Binti Haziman Universiti Selangor [email protected] | [email protected] ABSTRACT Developing professionalism and constructing one's identity is a continuous and lifelong journey. Pre-service teachers embarking on their initial practical experiences in schools encounter evolving trends, changing environments, and various societal challenges that shape their professional identity. Thus, this study aims to explore the elements that influence the identity construction of pre-service teachers during their practicum. Specifically, we explore the significant relationship between identity construction and the development of pre-service teachers, considering factors such as personal traits, extrinsic influences (including financial aspects and cultural background), and experiential characteristics. This qualitative study interviewed fourteen (14) pre-service teachers selected through purposive snowball sampling, and the data were thematically analysed. The findings of this study indicate that while many pre-service teachers perceive themselves as passionate individuals, they still have substantial room for growth in terms of professionalism. The intricate process of identity formation in these individuals is influenced by the educational environment in which they are placed, including their interactions with students, fellow teachers, mentors, and their responsibilities within their families. Additionally, their self-perception and aspirations are crucial in shaping their professional identity. These factors collectively contribute to the construction of identities among pre-service teachers. Future research should explore alternative approaches to meet the specific needs of pre-service teachers in their pursuit of professionalism, as such initiatives may foster the construction of a solid professional identity among future educators.

10. THE INFLUENCE OF MICRO-TEACHING ON PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) TEACHERS’ MENTAL, COGNITIVE, BEHAVIOURAL, AND EFFICACY READINESS TO TEACH IN SCHOOL Nur Adlin Nazmi Binti Suhaimi | Nur Sabrina Binti Rosman Universiti Selangor [email protected] | [email protected] ABSTRACT This study explores the implications of micro-teaching readiness on pre-service ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers' readiness to teach. Micro-teaching is a teaching practice where pre-service teachers deliver short lessons in a controlled classroom setting, and microteaching is a required subject that students must take before they can start practical teaching. This demonstrates the importance of microteaching in preparing future teachers for their roles in schools. This study aims to identify the effects of micro-teaching on pre-service ESL teachers' cognitive readiness, behavioural readiness, mental readiness, and self-efficacy readiness. The study utilises a mixed-method research design, incorporating qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data will be collected through interviews and scale questions administered to 100 TESL students who have undergone or are currently taking micro-teaching courses at UNISEL. The findings provide valuable insights into the factors that influence pre-service ESL teachers' readiness and performance, thereby informing the development of effective teacher education programs and enhancing the quality of ESL instruction in real classrooms. By recognising and addressing these challenges, teacher education programs can equip pre-service teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to overcome these obstacles and enhance their readiness to teach.

11. PROCRASTINATION: CAUSES AND FACTORS OF PROCRASTINATION AMONG MALAYSIAN TERTIARY-LEVEL STUDENTS Muhammad Yusri Bin Zahari |Muhamad Faiq Bin Hadzri Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) [email protected] | [email protected] ABSTRACT Procrastination among tertiary-level students is a problem faced by educational institutions worldwide. This study explores the factors of procrastination behaviours among Malaysian tertiary-level students. The research questions addressed three main areas: the role of assessment preference, whether individual or group-based and the impact of social factors on manipulating procrastination tendencies and the role of technology addiction and social media distractions as reasons for procrastination behaviours. As a result, group tasks were associated with lower levels of procrastination, while individual assignments increased procrastination tendencies. The research identified the study environment as a significant factor influencing procrastination tendencies. Students are more likely to procrastinate when surrounded by peers who exhibit procrastination behaviours. Conversely, positive social support was found to have a mitigating effect on procrastination. The results highlighted that social media distractions substantially diverted students' attention and disrupted effective time management, contributing to procrastination. In conclusion, this study emphasises the influence of external factors on students' procrastination tendencies and underscores the need for targeted interventions to address this issue. By understanding the relationships between the factors mentioned with procrastination behaviours, educational institutions can implement effective strategies to minimise procrastination and create a more productive learning environment for tertiary-level students.
