Abstract

ABSTRACT A common mistake made by many students who study English as a foreign language is not paying attention to English pronunciation well, and also difficult distinguishing words that are different but have almost the same pronunciation. For examples: the words shit, sheet, Dessert with Desert; Sent with Cent. This problem also found in Al-Muhajirin Junior High School students. They often faced difficulties in pronouncing sentences during speaking learning sessions due to the influence of their mother tongue, and other problems when students still have difficulty distinguishing different English words with one sound in the same position, especially in vowel sounds. In this research, the quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design used. The population of this research was the eighth grade. After administering the pre-test and post-test, the researcher used SPSS to compute the independent sample t-test to determine whether the data are normal and homogeneous, and checked the student's pronunciation using the ELSA Speak application. From the results of this research, it concluded that the data are normal and homogeneous data results so the hypothesis test used a parametric test, which was the independent sample t-test. Based on the analysis of data calculations in hypothesis testing, a significant effect could be seen in the dependent sample t-test table where the value of Sig. (2-tailed) of the same variant which is 0.000 < 0.05 means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted that minimal pairs technique could have a positive and better influence on students' pronunciation mastery. Key words: Experimental Design, Minimal Pairs Technique, Pronunciation Mastery.
