Moedjito. (2017). Improving EFL Learners' Pronunciation of English through Quiz-Demonstration-Practice-Revision (QDPR). English Language Teaching, 11(1). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v11n1p10

q2 · i? · causal · r1

The article cites its author's prior survey (Moedjito, 2008) as background motivation; the article attributes this finding to that earlier study, which is not reported in methodological detail here. It notes the finding conflicts with the 1990s trend favouring suprasegmentals.

"a survey conducted by Moed jito (2008) indicated that both Indonesian secondary school teachers and students perceived that both c onsonants and vowels were still the most preferable components to teach/learn"
