Abstract


This qualitative descriptive study aims to identify the difficulties in listening to shengdiao (tone) in words and phrases experienced by ninth-grade students at MTs An-Nuriyah Bontocini, Jeneponto Regency. The sample consisted of 20 students selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through listening tests and questionnaires. The research results show that students have difficulty distinguishing tones in Mandarin, especially the fourth tone. There are two main factors that influence these difficulties. Internal factors include limited understanding of the tonal system, lack of self-confidence, and ineffective learning strategies. External factors include the quality of learning media, the teacher's teaching methods, and the classroom environment. Some students stated that the audio used was unclear, and the learning process needs to be improved through more consistent practice and the use of more interactive media.
