Abstract

This final project is based on a study which attempts to analyze the mispronunciation of debate participants from SMA Negeri 1 Comal and SMA Negeri 1 Banjarnegara in “Relax” TV program of TVRI. The purpose was to describe what diphthongs mispronounced by the debate participants, how the debate participants mispronounced the diphthong, and how the debate participants corrected their diphthong pronunciation. The diphthongs that are mispronounced by debate participants were identified. Then, the writer identified those who make error in pronouncing diphthong. Finally, she analyzed how many of them who fixed their diphthong pronunciation successfully. This final project is a descriptive qualitative study. The writer described the diphthong errors made by the debate participants. The debate participants were from SMA Negeri 1 Comal and SMA Negeri 1 Banjarnegara. The errors in pronouncing English diphthongs were assumed to be affected by two factors. The first factor was the habit of the debate participants in pronouncing the word that contains of diphthongs. The habit could be from imitating, mishearing, and mispronouncing. The second was because the debate participants pronounced the word as it was written in the orthographic writing. The debate participants mispronounced the diphthong [eɪ], [oʊ], [aɪ], [aʊ], [ɪə], [ɛə], and [ʊə]. There were 17 speakers who mispronounced the diphthong [eɪ], 20 speakers in the diphthong [oʊ], 2 speakers in the diphthong [aɪ], 8 speakers in the diphthong [ɪə], 10 speakers in the diphthong [ɛə], and 1 speaker in the diphthong [ʊə]. Most debate participants mispronounced the diphthong by pronouncing diphthongs as certain vowels. The debate participants didn‟t correct their diphthong pronunciation directly. They fixed their diphthong pronunciations in the other next utterances that consisted of the diphthong they mispronounced before. This study gives information about debate participants‟ difficulties in pronouncing diphthongs. Then, based on the writer‟s experience, the result of the study hopefully contributes to the practical significance such as for pre-service teachers. The coming pre-service teachers are able to devise appropriate lesson plan in spoken cycle.
