Abstract

This research  concentrates  on consonant  pronunciation  of Javanese  students from English Departments  of UIN SGD Bandung. The students’ pronunciation  of English words is suspected to be influenced by the areas  they are  coming from, such as:  Bandung–mBandung,  Deli-nDeli,  Gombong- ngGombong.  This  study  is  aimed  at  answering  the  following  research   questions:  1.  How  is  the Javanese  students’ pronunciation  of English reading  text? 2. What are the similarities  and differences of consonant  pronunciation  found in reading  text? 3. What makes the Javanese  students  of English Departments  mispronounced the consonant  pronunciation? The researcher wants  to investigate  the aforementioned  phenomenon  not  only  in  Phonology  and  Pronunciation,  but also  in  the  field  of Contrastive  Analysis by Crystal  (2008) and Richards (1974). To find the factors resulted  in Javanese students  mispronounced  the consonant  pronunciation,  the researcher used error  analysis  theory by Corder (1974) and Crystal (2008). The method of study used is qualitative  descriptive method using purposive sampling. Then, the researcher used an English reading text to be a tool of analysis.  This research  found that there are three of four problems in pronunciation.  The first is letters and sounds problems experienced  by fifteen participants. The second is basic sounds problems produced  by five participants. The last one is words and utterance problems by four participants. The results also showed that the similarities of both of languages  are in /c/ which is the same as /tʃ/ and /j/ is the same as /dʒ/. Meanwhile the differences are /ḍ/, /ṭ/, /ň/, /c/, /y/, and /?/ are not found in English. In contradictory  to English, in Javanese  the following /dʒ/, /tʃ/, /v/, /θ/, /ð/, /ʃ/, and  /ʒ/ are  not found. Furthermore, the cultural  background  of the Javanese  students is one of the error  factors by which the students added phonemes /b/, /d/, /g/, such as: background, difficulties, done, between, back up, bad, because, go, and project. Moreover, one group of participants did not know how to pronounce  words such as: women, data, bilingual, and foreign. The others had low concentration  when pronouncing words such as: asked, expected, lack, racism and alive.
