ABSTRACT
Daho, Angela Derosario. (2015). A Case Study of Pronunciation Errors Produced by a Papuan ELESP Student of Sanata Dharma University. Yogyakarta. English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Sanata Dharma University.
This study deals with pronunciation error produced by a Papuan ELESP Student, especially Pegunungan Bintang region from Ketengban Ethnic Race. This topic is selected because the writer realizes that, pronunciation is important in building the speaking skill on every English learner and user. Since pronunciation is a part of speaking skill. This study focuses on two problems, which are: (1) What are the pronunciation errors made by the ELESP student from Papua? (2) What efforts can be done to improve the pronunciation of the ELESP student from Papua?
This research is a qualitative research; the methodology is used in this research is case study. The reason of selecting this method is because the number of the ELESP student from Papua as the subject in this study is very limited. The data is taken by using observation and analyzed by using library study.
Based on the research, the subject produced both mistakes and errors. These occured in the different phoneme which given in the Consonants (p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, m, n, ŋ, l, h, r, w, j ),Vowels (iː, ɪ , e, æ, ɜː, əә, ɑː, ʌ, u: , ʊ, ɔː, ɒ), and Diphthongs (eɪ, aɪ, ɪəә, ɔɪ, əәʊ, eəә, əәʊ, aʊ, ʊəә).The writer will focus on the error. The error occured when the subject pronounced the word as it is written and has lack of understanding in pronouncing the silent letter.
Finally, the writer gives the suggestion to all English learners to do the drilling by peer practice reading aloud; therefore the English learner will get feedback from their partner in order to improve their English pronunciation skill. Keywords: case study, Papuan ELSP student, pronunciation error

ABSTRAK
Daho, Angela Derosario. (2015). A Case Study of Pronunciation Errors Produced by a Papuan ELESP Student of Sanata Dharma University.Yogyakarta. English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Sanata Dharma University.
Penelitian ini berhubungan dengan kesalahan pelafalan yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa pendidikan bahasa inggris Universitas Sanata Dharma yang berasal dari Papua daerah Pegunungan Bintang Suku Ketengban. Topik ini dipilih karena penulis mengamati bahwa, pelafalan adalah hal yang penting dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berbicara pada para pengguna atau para pelajar Bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dua permasalahan, yaitu: (1) Apa saja kesalahan pelafalan yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa pendidikan Bahasa Inggris asal Papua ? (2) Apa saja upaya yang dapat dilakukan guna memperbaiki pelafalan oleh Mahasiswa pendidikan bahsa inggris asal Papua ?
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Metodologi yang dipergunakan merupakan metode studi kasus. Alasan penggunaan metode studi kasus pada penelitian ini dikarena jumlah dari subjek penelitiannya terbatas. Data yang diperloeh didapatkan dari observasi dan dianalisa menggunakan kajian perpustakaan.
Berdasarkan penelitian ini, subjek penelitian melakukan baik error dan kesalahan pada Consonants(p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, m, n, ŋ, l, h, r, w, j ), Vowel ( (iː, ɪ , e, æ, ɜː, əә, ɑː, ʌ, u: , ʊ, ɔː, ɒ), and Diphthong (eɪ, aɪ, ɪəә, ɔɪ, əәʊ, eəә, əәʊ, aʊ, ʊəә).Kesalahan terjadi karena ketidak telitian subjek saat membaca kata kata, sehingga subject terkadang melafalkan kata dengan tidak lengkap. Eror terjadi ketika subjek melafalkan kata seperti bahasa tulisan dan subjek juga kurang paham tentang “silent letters".
Akhirnya, penulis memberikan saran kepada seluruh pembelajar Bahasa Inggris untuk melakukan drilling dan praktik membaca bersuara secara berpasangan atau berkelompok. Dengan cara seperti ini maka para pembelajar Bahasa Inggris akan mendapatkan masukan dari teman belajar guna mengembangkan kemampuan melafalkan kata- kata dalam Bahasa Inggris. Kata kunci: case study, Papuan ELSP student, pronunciation error

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter consists of the research background and the research method.
The research background consists of the background of the study and the reasons of
choosing the topic of the study. The research background discusses about the benefit
of this study, the research problem, and the objective of the study. The research
method discusses about the methodology used in this study and the research
procedure.
A. Research Background
English is one of many international languages used in the international
communication. Therefore people learn and even use English as their communication
media. Unfortunately, not all English learners can pronounce the English words
correctly. They often neglect their pronunciations. Pronunciation understanding
according to Nunan (2003) is the sounds that we produced when we speak. It is used
as the media communication (p.112).
Pronunciation is related to the use of words, paraphrases and sentences in
communications to make meaning. In this research, pronunciation is defined as the
ability to have a good English spelling. Pronunciation is related to sounds production
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
2 of the target language. According to Otlowski’s (2001) opinion about the importance
of pronunciation “....without adequate pronunciation skills the learner's ability to
communicate is severely limited.” The fact is that the native speaker of English will
get difficulty in grabbing the information when you speak with unclear pronunciation.
Of course, it clearly shows that the native speaker will easily understand what the
speakers say when they pronounce the words correctly and clearly. According to
Celce-Murcia (1987) “ a bad pronunciation is a communication that cannot be
understood by the listener”. Pronunciation is one of the most important language
skills. However, pronouncing the words correctly is not an easy thing to do.
This issue becomes a major problem faced by the English Language
Education Study Program (ELESP) of Sanata Dharma University in Yogyakarta,
especially for the students who come from Papua. The subject of this study is a male
ELESP student who comes from Papua and uses Papuan language called
“Ketengban” language as his mother tongue. The first reason of choosing the Papuan
ELESP student is that, when the researcher compares to other ELESP students, the
student coming from Papua get difficulty in following the system of each course
during the study in this university. Papua is a remote area which has a lower standard
of education compared to Yogyakarta. This student from Papua has less knowledge
about English compared to other ELESP students. Therefore the ELESP student from
Papua get a year for English short course before entering the academic year after
being accepted in ELESP Sanata Dharma University. This program is used to help
them in gaining the basic of English knowledge as their background before entering
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
3 the new academic year in ELESP. The second reason is that since the subject studies
in this ELESP, the subject is expected to be a teacher. Being a teacher means being a
role model for his future students, so he is also expected to teach English and the
pronunciation. As a consequence, he has to master at least reading the phonetic
symbols. Richards and Rogers (1988) say that “Phonetic symbol is important to learn
in order to speak accurately” (p.52). These two reasons encourage the researcher to
conduct this research.
Since the subject of this research is very limited, the researcher decides to use
Case Study as the research method. The objective of using this kind of research is to
maximize the data collection from the subject of this research. The participant comes
from the seventh semester student in ELESP Sanata Dharma University. The subject
of the research comes from Papua especially from Pegunungan Bintang region and
uses Ketengban language as his mother tongue.
There are two research questions made by the researcher:
1. What are the pronunciation errors made by the ELESP student from Papua?
2. What efforts can be done to improve the pronunciation of the ELESP student
from Papua?
From the research problems above the researcher has some objectives, they
are;
1. To find out the pronunciation errors which often occurs by the ELESP
students from Papua .
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
4 2. To give him some feedbacks in order to improve the pronunciation of the
ELESP student from Papua.
The research has some beneficial aspects for the students from Papua, for the
learning strategy in English Language Education Study Program, as well as the future
researcher.
1. For the ELESP Sanata Dharma University
From this research, the ELESP Sanata Dharma University can make various
activities in Pronunciation class; therefore the students will be interested in
joining this class.
2. For the ELESP Students From Papua
a. From this research, the students from Papua especially those who are
learning in ELESP can be aware with the difficulties that they will find in
pronouncing words in English
b. They will be more confident in speaking and keeping on trying to cover
all their difficulties in pronouncing the words in English.
3. For the Future Researchers
To give inspiration or idea for the next researcher in developing or continuing
this kind of research.
Error or mistake is usually made by students in second language acquisition.
According to Chiang (1981) “Students’ errors are thus treated as a surface
phenomenon and are sometimes the learner’s own system to approximate the real
system of the target language (p.10)”. Through the information of the second
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
5 language acquisition, we can give them considerate feedback, so they can achieve the
successful learning.
Pronunciation according to Nunan (2003), is the sounds that we produced
when we speak. It is used as the communication media (p.112). In this research,
Pronunciation is defined as the ability to have the good English speaking ability.
Pronunciation is related to the sounds production of the target language.
Phonetics according to Franklin and Rodman mean the study of speech sounds
that is utilized by all human languages to represent meaning. In this research, speech
sounds can be classified into 24 consonants (p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð,
m, n, ŋ, l, h, r, w, j ), 12 vowels (iː, ɪ , e, æ, ɜː, əә, ɑː, ʌ, u: , ʊ, ɔː, ɒ), and 9 diphthongs
(eɪ, aɪ, ɪəә, ɔɪ, əәʊ, eəә, əәʊ, aʊ, ʊəә).
Phonetics symbol according to Forel and Genoveva (2005) is the sounds of
language by means of symbols that have one value (p.3). In this research, phonetics
symbol means conventional sign used in writing to represent speech sounds. For
example, the word “pump”, is represented into /pʌmp/ as the phonetics symbol or
transcription.

6 B. Research Method
This research was conducted by using qualitative research. This research aims
to understand the pronunciation errors made by the ELESP student coming from
Papua. According to Norman (2005), qualitative data means “A non numeric data
collection or explanation based on the tributes of the graph or source data.”
The purpose of qualitative research was to gather the data in depth understanding,
rather than the numeric one. The researcher used descriptive qualitative research to
describe the data and characteristics of the issue being researched, and deals with
everything that can be studied.
To gain the data the researcher conducted the case study. According to Yin
(1984), he defines the case study research method as an empirical inquiry that
investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context; when the
boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident; and in which
multiple sources of evidence are used (p. 23). Through case study, the researcher
collected the data, and then the data were analyzed, called as document analysis. Data
analysis is a process of gathering, modeling, and transforming the data with the goal
by giving the information, suggesting the conclusion, and supporting the decision,
(Heffernan, 2001). The researcher analyzed the data gathered in research for gaining
the answer to the question formulated in problem formulation.
These are some procedures of the research; first of all, the researcher had a
classroom observation during the course. The reason of conducting classroom
observation was to observe the errors which are produced by the subject during
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
7 pronouncing words when he spoke English naturally. In this case, the researcher
observed the subject of the study only. Thus, the researcher joined to the course that
developed the speaking skills of the subject. Fortunately, the researcher and the
subject took the same SPD class and joined in the same group; therefore the
researcher could easily do the observation. Second, from the note taken, the
researcher found the problem that is produced by the subject research.
In this case the subject research was a Papuan ELESP Sanata Dharma who comes
from Ketengban ethnic race. When the researcher conducted this research, the subject
was in the 8th semester. After that, the researcher made a list of word as the oral
instrument for the subject. Next, in weekly meeting the researcher asked the subject
research to pronounce the list of words. The first turn, the subject pronounced the
words himself. The second turn, the subject pronounced the word after the researcher
gave the example how to pronounce the word. The third turn, the subject pronounced
the word himself again just like in the first turn. Then the result of the voice recording
was analyzed by the researcher to compare each word with the phonetic transcription
and sound from the Cambridge Advanced Learner Digital Dictionary 3rd edition.
During the research, the researcher gave the subject three attempts to
pronounce each section. The first turn, the subject pronounced the words himself. The
second turn, the subject pronounced the words after the researcher gave him the
example of pronouncing words by using interactive or digital dictionary. The third
turn, the subject pronounced the word himself again just like in the first turn. Then,
the result of the voice recording was analyzed by the researcher by comparing each
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
8 word with the phonetic transcription from the Cambridge digital dictionary. In order
to prove the researcher’s argument, the researcher consulted to the related literature.
The reason of making the three attempts in pronouncing the words was used to differ
whether the subject made the error or the subject did not know how to pronounce the
words.
In order to make the data feasible to analyze, the data was presented in a form
of the raw data of pronunciation test. The format of the table was according to
Widiarti (2002), we can see the example of the table below:
Words Pronunciation Number of Cases Intended Actual
The researcher provided the list of words taken from the Pronunciation 1 handbook
English Pronunciation. The English Speech Sounds Theory & Practice. The
researcher chose this book because the subject had passed the Pronunciation 1 course.
The reason of making the table was to present the raw data and to show the difference
between the intended and actual pronunciation.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
This chapter is divided into three parts, namely the review of the related
literature, the data presentation and the analysis. In review of the related literature,
the researcher will discuss the theories concerning the pronunciation. Then, in
data analysis, the researcher will discuss the data analysis result and the discussion
on each table in order to answer the research questions.
A. Review of the Related Literature
In this part, the researcher provides some theories related to conduct this
research. The theories are taken from books and academic journals. These theories
are used to support the idea of the researcher’s arguments scientifically.
1. Error
Error and mistake are usually made by students in second language
acquisition. According to Brown (2000), error occurs because the lack of
competence, while mistake occurs because of the lack in performance. Based on
Brown’s theory the researcher concludes that error and mistake are two different
things, error occurs because of the lack of understanding of the students while
mistake occurs because of missing or slipping of the tongue.
According to Chiang (1981), students’ errors are thus treated as the surface
phenomena and are sometimes the learner’s own system to approximate the real
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
10
systems of the target language (p.10). Through the information of the student’s
second language acquisition errors, the teacher can give them considerate
feedback. The feedback helps the students in achieving successful in learning.
After the teacher find the errors, the teacher needs to analyze them, to make sure
whether they are is included in error or mistake. Error analysis is the systematic
study of learners’ errors. Corder (1967) states that the use of error analysis in three
respects: to the linguistics researcher, to the teachers and to the learners
themselves. Thus, it is necessary to point out those errors. Analysis exclusively
concerns with “systematic error”, not with mistakes and lapses.
2. Pronunciation Error
Pronunciation, according to Nunan (2003: 112), is sounds that we produce
when we speak. It is used as the communication media. In this research,
pronunciation is defined as the ability to have a good English spelling.
Pronunciation is related to sound production of the target language. Pronunciation
error, according to the researcher, is a sound mistake made by students when
speaking. According to Dulay, Burt and Krashen (1982),”second Language
acquisition is the process of learning another language after the basic of the first
has been acquired (p.74).” Pronunciation error can occur during student is
learning about second language acquisition.

3. English Phonology
a. Phoneme
According to Bright (1970) ”a phoneme is the smallest contrastive unit
that may bring about a change of meaning, because bit and pit mean different
things [b] and [p] are different phonemes in English” (p.179). Phonemes can be
distinguished one word of language to another word of the same language. The
distinctive feature of languages means the element, which serves to distinguish
one word to another phoneme.
b. Phonetics
Boyanova (2002) defines phonetic as an independent branch of linguistics
which studies the sound matter of the language, its semantic function and the
lines. In this research, phonetics is a study of a speech sounds; speech sounds can
be classified into 24 consonants (p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, m, n, ŋ, l,
h, r, w, j ); consonant’s Figure Table is available on the appendix, there are 12
vowels (iː, ɪ , e, æ, ɜː, əә, ɑː, ʌ, u: , ʊ, ɔː, ɒ); vowel’s Figure Table is available on
the appendix, and 9 diphthongs (eɪ, aɪ, ɪəә, ɔɪ, əәʊ, eəә, əәʊ, aʊ, ʊəә); diphthong’s
Figure Table is available on the appendix.
Phonetics symbols represents the sounds of the speech Webster’s
Collegiate Dictionary,Woolf (1980 :855) defines phonetics as representing speech
sounds by means of symbols that have one value only (p.855). In this research,
phonetic symbol means conventional sign used in writing to represent speech
sounds. For example in the word “pump” represented into /pʌmp/ as the phonetic
symbol.

c. Dialect
Elfenbein et al., defines dialect as the variant or variety of language used
by different speakers who are separated by geographic or social boundaries (as
cited in Francis, 1992 pp349-355). In this thesis, the researcher talked about
Papuan dialect from Pegunungan Bintang region especially about Ketengban
Language from Ketengban ethnic group.
d. Stress Pattern
According to Allan (1997), there are two functions of stress pattern.
Firstly, it is used to refer to the syllable which is marked as stress if it is marked in
lexicon or dictionary. Secondly, it has been suggested that the rhythm of certain
language is dependent on the regular occurrence of stressed syllable connected in
speech.
e. Sounds
Errors in individual sounds may affect how strong a student’s accent is
perceived, rather than how far they are accurately understood (Munro and
Derwing, 1999). In this research, the researcher would like to see how deep the
Ketengban’s dialect affects to the subject’s accent in pronouncing English words.
f. Silent Letters
According to Locke (1978) “Words with silent letters have been used in
efforts to discover phonological involvement in visual word recognition.” In this
research, silent letters are letters that appear in the spelling of words but do not
make a sound; it is used to identify the reader’s ability in pronouncing words

13
B. Data Presentation
These are the procedures of the research. First of all, the researcher
observed the subject in classroom during the teaching and learning process.
Therefore, the researcher joined the course that developed speaking skills of the
subject. In this occasion, the researcher joined the SPD class. Fortunately, the
researcher and the subject joined in the same group during this class. Therefore,
the researcher had enough time to observe the subject and jotted down when the
subject had the difficulty in pronouncing the words. Second, from the field note,
the researcher analyzed the mistakes that were made by the subject of the
research. After the observation, the researcher’s job was to make a wordlist as the
oral instrument for the subject. The wordlist was taken from the Pronunciation 1
handbook. The reason of choosing this book was because the subject had passed
the Pronunciation 1 course. Then, form of the oral instrument was a list of words.
Third, in weekly meeting, the researcher asked the subject research to pronounce
the list of words. The weekly meeting consisted of 6 meetings. The first two
meetings were used to pronounce the consonants list, the second two meeting
were used to pronounce the vowel list, and the last two meetings were used to
pronounce the diphthong list. The researcher gave the subject three times to
pronounce each section of the wordlist. The first turn, the subject pronounced the
words himself. The second turn, the subject pronounced the words after the
researcher gave him the example pronouncing words by using interactive or
digital dictionary. The third turn the subject pronounced the word himself once
again as in the first turns. After the data were gathered the researcher analyzed the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
14
data by listening to the every detail of the pronunciations such as the stress and the
number of syllable after being consulted with the Cambridge Advanced Learner
Digital Dictionary 3rd edition about the phonetics transcription and the sounds.
The reason of choosing Cambridge Advanced Learner Digital Dictionary 3rd
edition is because the digital version will help the researcher a lot in comparing
the intended and actual pronunciation.
This chapter presents the results of the research, including the data analysis
and the answers to the research questions. These are the research questions, the
first one is “What are the pronunciation errors made by the ELESP student from
Papua?” and the second one is “What efforts can be done to improve
pronunciation of ELESP student from Papua?”
After conducting the research, the researcher found out that the subject of
this study used Ketengban language as his daily conversation when the subject
met his friends who came from the same ethnic race. He used Bahasa Indonesia
when he had an interaction with people who were not come from the same race.
He also spoke in English when he needs to speak at the campus and he uses
passive English when he had chats with foreigners via email.
This ELESP student from Papua had difficulties in pronouncing
consonants (p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, m, n, ŋ, l, h, r, w, j ), vowels
(iː, ɪ , e, æ, ɜː, əә, ɑː, ʌ, u: , ʊ, ɔː, ɒ), and diphthongs (eɪ, aɪ, ɪəә, ɔɪ, əәʊ, eəә, əәʊ, aʊ,
ʊəә). The researcher used digital dictionary Cambridge Advanced Learner Digital
Dictionary 3rd edition and Pronunciation 1 handbook English Pronunciation. The
English Speech Sounds Theory & Practice to evaluate the ELESP student’s
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
15
pronunciation. The procedures of this analysis were: First, the student’s results of
the recording were collected and compared with the actual pronunciation based on
the dictionary of the English pronunciation. Second, the student’s pronunciation
recordings were analyzed whether they was correct or not. Third, the researcher
analyzed the error and the mistake in pronunciations produced.
The goal of this final paper is to answer the two research questions which
are, “What are the pronunciation errors made by the ELESP student from Papua?”
and “ What efforts can be done to improve the pronunciation of the ELESP
student from Papua?”.
These are the analysis of Table 2.1, mispronunciations mostly occur in this
part specifically on the nineteen consonants from twenty four consonants (p, b, t,
d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, m, n, ŋ, l, h, r, w, j). The mistake and the error
occur in sections (p, b, d, g, f, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, n, ŋ, j). From the fifteen
sections the researcher generates them into error and mistakes. The error occurs in
the thirteen sections (p, b, g, f, s, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, n, ŋ). While the mistake occurs
in six sections, they are (d, f, z, ʒ, θ, ŋ, j).

C. Analysis and Discussion
In this part, the researcher answers the two research questions of this
study. The two research questions are “What are the pronunciation errors made by
the ELESP student from Papua?” and “What efforts can be done to improve the
pronunciation of the ELESP student from Papua?” The answer of these two
research questions are based on the data presentation above.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
31
1. The Pronunciation Errors made by the ELESP Student from Papua.
In this part the researcher answer the first research questions, “What are
the pronunciation errors made by the ELESP student from Papua?” Based on the
data analysis, from the Table 2.1 the errors occurred in 13 consonants they were
(p, b, g, f, s, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, n, ŋ) and the mistakes occurred in 7 consonants they
were (d, f, z, ʒ, θ, ŋ, j). From the Table 2.2 the errors occurred in 7 vowels they
were ( iː, ɪ, æ, ɑ:, u:, ʊ, ʌ ) and mistakes occurred in 2 vowels they were (ɜː and
ɔ:). From the Table 2.3 the errors occurred in 6 diphthongs they were (eɪ, aɪ, əәʊ,
eəә, aʊ, ʊəә) and the mistakes occur in 1 diphthong it was (əәʊ). From the analysis
above the researcher also found that in this case, the error can occurred because of
the reason as follows:
a. The subject had less attention to silent letters.
E.g: Table 2.1 Mispronouncing of Consonants /p/ with Silent Letter
In the consonant /p/ as in “Pneumonia” it should be pronounced as
/nuːˈmoʊ.njəә/ but the subject pronounces it as /pnuːˈmoʊ.njəә/.

1. Pneumonia /nuːˈmoʊ.njəә/ /pnuːˈmoʊ.njəә/ 2
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
32
b. The subject had less attention in reading the words; therefore he often recited
the words incompletely until the end of the word.
E.g: Table 2.1 Mispronouncing of Consonants /ŋ/
Consonant /ŋ/ the word “Wriggling” should pronounced as /ˈrɪg.liŋ ̩/ with
/ŋ/ sound as the ending but the subject pronounced it as /ˈrɪg.li ̩/ with /i/
sound as the ending.
c. The subject pronounced the word just like it was written. In order to
support this statement the researcher provides an example taken from the
data presentation:
E.g: Table 2.1 Mispronouncing of Consonants /ŋ/
Consonant /ŋ./ the word is “Handkerchief” it should be pronounced as
/ˈhæŋ.kəә.tʃiːf/, but the subject pronounces it as /ˈhænd.kəә.tʃiːf/. The subject
pronounced the word “Handkerchief” as pronouncing the word “Hand”
tangan in Indonesian.

d. The subject also got the difficulty in distinguishing the several sounds, it is
clearly shown when the subject should pronounce words whether using [/i:/ or
/I/]; [/u:/ or /ʊ/], or [/ð/ or /ɵ/ or /t/].:
E.g: Table 2.2Mispronouncing of Vowel / iː/
In the word Canteen /kænˈtiːn/ using the vowel /i:/ the long sound, but the
subject pronounced it as /kænˈtIn/ using /ɪ/, the short sound. This error
occurred in all words given.
2. The Efforts to improve the Pronunciation of the ELESP Student from
Papua
In this section, the researcher will answer the second research question
namely, “What effort can be done to improve the pronunciation of the ELESP
student from Papua?” In order to overcome the pronunciation errors, the
researcher suggests the ELESP student from Papua to do as follows:
a. The subject can make a group work or pair works to do the pronunciation
practice outside the class. He needs to cooperate with other friends who
have better pronunciations ability than him.

By peer practice of reading out loud, the subject will get the feedback from
the friend in order to improve the subject’s pronunciation skill.
b. The subject can have pronunciation drilling at home. According to Harmer
(2000) drilling technique in repeating structural pattern trough oral practice.
In this study, the subject needs to drill himself to practice pronouncing
around 10 new words every day. The subject can consult his pronunciation
whether it is correct or not by using Interactive dictionary or digital
dictionary.

CHAPTER III
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In this chapter the researcher presents the result of chapter II, the data analysis
and the discussions. The following paragraphs provide the answer of research
problem of conclusion and recommendations. The recommendations will be divided
into three suggestions, for the future ELESP student from Papua, future researchers
and future teachers/lecturers.
A. Conclusions
This chapter discusses the conclusions of findings in chapter three. Related
to the first research question, it is clear that the ELESP student coming from Papua
especially from Ketengban ethnic race gets the difficulties in pronouncing the
words especially on the consonants (p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, m, n,
ŋ, l, h, r, w, j ), vowels (iː, ɪ , e, æ, ɜː, əә, ɑː, ʌ , u: , ʊ, ɔː, ɒ), and diphthongs (eɪ, aɪ,
ɪəә, ɔɪ, əәʊ, ɛəә, eəә, aʊ, ʊəә). It happens because of five aspects:
1. The researcher concludes that error and mistake are two different things.
Error can occur due to the lacks of knowledge of the subject particular case
such as; lack of understanding about silent letter as in the mispronunciation
of consonants table /p/, /b/, and /g/,lack of knowledge to differentiate

between phoneme which has a long sound and a short sound as in the
mispronunciation of vowels table [/i:/ and /I/] and [/u:/ and /ʊ/] also in the
mispronunciation of consonants table [/ð/ and /ɵ/ ], and when the subject
reads the word as it is written as in mispronunciation consonant table /f/
and /s/ and vowel / ɔː/ and / ʌ/.
2. The Pronunciation Errors made by the ELESP Student from Papua, based on
the data analysis, from the Table 2.1 the errors occurred in 13 consonants they
are (p, b, g, f, s, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, θ, ð, n, ŋ) and the mistakes occur in 7 consonants
they are (d, f, z, ʒ, θ, ŋ, j). From the Table 2.2 the errors occurred in 7 vowels
they are ( iː, ɪ, æ, ɑ:, u:, ʊ, ʌ ) and mistakes occurred in 2 vowels they are (ɜː
and ɔ:). From the Table 2.3 the errors occurred in 6 diphthongs they are (eɪ, aɪ,
əәʊ, eəә, aʊ, ʊəә) and the mistakes occurred in 1 diphthong it was (əәʊ).
3. In this research the errors occurred because of several things. First, less
attention to the silent letter word. Second, recited the sound or pronouncing
words incompletely until the end of the word. Third, the subject pronounced
the word as it was written. Fourth, the subject also got difficulty in
distinguishing between pronouncing words whether using [/i:/ or /I/] ; [/u:/ or
/ʊ/], or [/ð/ or /ɵ/ or /t/].

4. The efforts to improve the pronunciation of the ELESP student from Papua
are by drillings, peer practice of reading out loud and then consulting to the
digital dictionary.
A. Recommendations
Pronunciation is as important as listening, reading, and writing because
pronunciation skills also develop someone’s speaking skills. The researcher gives
some recommendations for the ELESP Sanata Dharma University, the ELESP
Students and the future researcher as follows:
1. For the ELESP Sanata Dharma University, the researcher suggests to make
a various activities in Pronunciation class besides drillings, the lecturer can
ask the student to make a group work for reading out loud, singing and
pronunciation games.
2. For the ELESP students, the researcher suggests making a group work for
reading out loud and students can share some feedback for other students.
3. For the future researcher. The researcher suggests to the future researcher
finding more volunteers to become the subject of the study, develop the test
into pronouncing sentence level and allocate more time to do drillings.
