Abstract

Pronunciation is the production of sounds that are employed to convey meaning. Pronouncing English is a little bit difficult for Indonesian students since they use their mother tongue for their communication. This study was focused on the problem of pronunciation of the /g/ sound in English. The researcher used descriptive qualitative for the research design. The subject of research was the students in grade X MIA 3 that consisted of 27 students. The researcher used the purposive technique to take the sample of the research. The data collection of research was through observation, documentation, and diary notes. The researcher obtained five (5) types of problems in pronouncing /g/ sound, such as /g/ sound before /h/ at the end of words, /g/ sound before /n/ in the middle of words, /g/ sound before /n/ at the beginning of words, /g/ sounds before /e/ at the beginning of words, and /g/ sounds before /i/ at the beginning of words. The mean of data was 14.6, which suggested that there were about 15 students who had a good pronunciation. And the rest students were still had incorrect pronunciation.

Abstract

This study employed Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, focusing on the discursive construction of child molestation using the transitivity process. The research aimed to (1) describe transitivity patterns in child molestation news articles published by The Jakarta Post, (2) examine how these patterns constructed the discourse, and (3) explore why such construction occurred. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyze clauses from five selected news texts. The study found that the most dominant transitivity processes were verbal and material. Verbal processes appeared 57 times (43.8%), while material processes occurred 48 times (36.9%), showing only a 6.9% difference. Verbal process verbs included reported, told, accused, said, and announced, while material process verbs included molested, abused, and arrested. These findings indicate that the news writers constructed the narratives based on information from police, witnesses, and victims to outline the chronology of the molestation incidents. The reports often portrayed children as the affected participants, with perpetrators positioned as the main actors responsible for the events. Through analyzing these transitivity patterns, the researcher identified how socio-cultural ideologies were embedded in the discourse. The texts implied that minors are perceived as vulnerable and lacking full legal protection. Moreover, the narratives challenged the common perception that women are always the victims of sexual abuse, showing that children of both genders could be victims. The perpetrators were often figures with authority in schools and the psychological impact on the victims was highlighted throughout the texts.
