Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out: (1) the types of errors on pronunciation (2) the highest error frequency in pronouncing spoken english (3) the causes of the error. The method used in this research was descriptive method. From the population, there were 20 students of class A taken as the sample by using random sampling. In collecting the data, the writer used pronunciation test of spoken language. Then, the data were analyzed by using error analysis procedure which consists of: (1) collecting the data, (2) identifying students‟ errors, (3) classifying errors, (4) explaining errors based on their sources, (5) describing students‟ error, (6) evaluating errors. The result of the study shows that there are 894 total errors consisting of: (1) 538 or 60.18% errors in vowel, (2) 155 or 17.34% errors in consonant, (3) 57 or 6.37% errors in stress, (4) 47 or 5.26% errors in linking, and (5) 97 or 10.85% error in assimilation. The factors causing errors are: (1) interlingual transfer which is caused by the interference of their mother tongue, and (2) intralingual transfer which is a negative transfer within the target language (English). Thus, the teacher should minimize the cause of errors by considering those causes and try to overcome students‟ problem in pronunciation.
