Abstract

Learning English is so challenging especially to native speakers whose language sounds inventories are different from English. It will have been worst when learners are not aware of their problems. This article aims at formulating pedagogical implications of the phonological problems faced by the EFL learners in pronouncing standard English. The data in this research were obtained from the pronunciation test towards 30 EFL learners, 10 from each local language background (Sasak, Sumbawan, and Bimanese). The explanation begins with describing the pronunciation problems faced by the EFL Learners during the process of acquiring English and then followed with presenting the pedagogical implications that the learners can do to cope with the problems. The first pedagogical implication is the pronunciation training of changing voiceless bilabial stop [p] to make voiced and voiceless labiodental fricative [v] and [f] of English. The second is the pronunciation training of changing voiced and voiceless dental stops [D] and [T] to make voiced and voiceless alveolar stops [d] and [t], and the third is the pronunciation training of changing front middle sound [E] to central middle sound [ə] and [ɛ]. These pedagogical implications must be under a systematic and intensive training requiring the students’ awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of a pronunciation learning model based on phonological constraints of regional languages ​​in pronouncing standard English for Sasak speaking students in West Nusa Tenggara. This research is a quantitative-descriptive designs with an experimental method. The object of this research is the sound of the English language produced by students of Sasak speakers at the English Study Program, FKIP University of Mataram. The research data was obtained using tests (pre-test and post-test). This study used a sample of 15 students who are native Sasak speakers. The instrument used is a pronunciation test which is given before (pretest) and after (posttest) learning is carried out. The test results are then analyzed using simple statistics that can be used to explain the changes before learning and after learning. The results of the analysis are then explained formally by using symbols and pictures and informally by using narration so that the findings of this study can be understood as well as possible. The results of this study indicate that learning pronunciation based on local language phonological constraints is effective in increasing students' awareness in anticipating the influence of local language sounds (mother tongue) in producing English.
