Students’ Perceptions Toward Learning Material of Pronunciation

Abstract

This research is part of a development research that uses the ADDIE model. There are five stages in ADDIE model development research, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. This study focuses on need analysis of pronunciation learning materials. The basic concept of this needs analysis took three important elements, they are necessity, lack, and want. The pronunciation material involves two basic elements of pronunciation, they are segmental and suprasegmental. The segmental aspect consists of consonants, vowels, and diphthongs. While the suprasegmental consists of stress words, intonation, and accent. These two aspects were combined and resulted in an online instrument to collect data in the form of a needs analysis aimed at 42 students who studying pronunciation learning. The results of this need analysis obtained that segmental pronunciation categorized as necessity (very essential), lack (lack), and want (very needed). The same results are also obtained for suprasegmental aspects categorized as necessity (very essential), lack (lack), and want (very needed).
