The dominant type of students' pronunciation error is systematic error. It can be proved by seeing the data that 21 students were in the range between 31%-70 % of the percentage of error. It is followed by post-systematic errors in which 9 students made errors in the range between 0%-30%. The last is pre-systematic error in which the students committed errors in the range of 71%-100%. The researcher concludes that the students made an interference error due to the influence of other languages; first language acquisition or mother tongue.
