The improvisation in dialogue pronunciation will give significance based on the suitability of its application in teaching contexts. Copying, repetition, appreciation, action and reaction are the elements included in the techniques practised in acting. This study is fully dedicated to the implementation of dialogue pronunciation through improvisation technique which is often highlighted for the actors and actresses in acting. However, what goes unnoticed is the fact that the way a teacher delivers a lesson in a classroom has similarities in function and role as a stage performer. Voice is the main instrument which needs to be used during the whole lesson or performance. The problem statement in this study can be seen from the inability of the teacher to apply an effective dialogue projection technique in their lesson, causing a somber and gloomy classroom. Apart from that, understanding the teaching content alone is not enough if dialogue pronunciation is unclear throughout the lesson. Therefore, this study aims to give exposure on the techniques and introduction to voice mechanism so that the lesson can be delivered more effectively and interesting by the teachers. The process of this study leads towards qualitative form guided by observation and open interviews to review the current teaching methods as well as using suitable library and database references. The result of this study shows the importance of understanding the improvisation in dialogue pronunciation in teaching which can be implemented consciously in teaching and learning process in school.

In Kelantan, the traditional pattern that existed in the designing the costumes for 'Makyung' exhibits the combination of organic and geometric styles. This balances and reinforces every produced design. The use of aesthetical values in designing patterns with underlying decorations is directly created to mirror the activities within its social community through resources that reflect their customs and culture. Based on the displayed designs, we can learn one branch in JKKN's 'Makyung' performances in Kelantan. The research on the conservation of aesthetical values in designing traditional pattern for 'Makyung' costumes is a qualitative research, carried out descriptively through observing and analysing the performances, as well as interviewing the costume designer which entails the analysis of aesthetical and sociocultural values to explain the connection and role of the traditional designs in the costumes. The result of this study on the conservation of aesthetical values will be able to help the society to understand the development of ideas, creativity, aesthetical values, and meaning in every performance as well as the factors that support the process of designing traditional patterns for JKKN's 'Makyung' costumes in Kelantan based on its sociocultural system.
