Abstract

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the types of errors and sources of errors in pronouncing English words containing monophthong vowels by eleventh grade students of boarding school MAN 1 Metro. The problems faced by students in pronunciation include: (1) Students felt afraid and insecure when speaking English. (2) The students pronounced words according to their assumptions. (3) Students tended to pronounce words based on what was written, or according to the existing Indonesian rules. (4) The students lacked of knowledge in English pronunciation. Thus, students made English pronunciation errors, especially in the pronunciation of monophthong vowel sounds. This study was conducted using qualitative research. The population of this study were eleventh grade students at boarding school MAN 1 Metro in the 2022/2023 school year. The sample for this study were 25 eleventh grade students who obtained using the purposive sampling technique. In collecting data, students were given 36 English words containing monophthong short vowel sounds (/æ/, /e/, /ɒ/, /ʌ/, /ә/, /ɪ/, /ʊ/). Then the errors made by students were analyzed based on the Communicative Effect Taxonomy error types, consisting of local errors and global errors. Furthermore, students were given 12 interview questions based on various sources of errors from Brown's theory. The results showed that the most dominant errors made by students were local errors, which amounted to 561 or 92.73% of errors. The short vowel sound included sound /ɪ/ with a total of 121 errors, and the sound /æ/ with a total of 118 errors. While, global errors amounted to 44 or 7.27%, with the vowel sound /ә/ as many as 12 errors, and the sound /ɒ/ as many as 16. Then, it was found that the source of errors included interlingual transfer and intralingual transfer. This was because English is not their native language. Therefore, it was important to pay more attention in learning and pronouncing English correctly. Keywords : Error Analysis, Pronunciation, Monophthong sounds.
