“…According to Novarita (2017) pronunciation is the way of language to say certain words or sounds, pronunciation is the most important thing from learning languages including language skills, differences in pronunciation will affect to the result of meaning, therefore pronunciation becomes important things to be considered. In line with the above opinion, Riyani (2013) argues that a variety of different pronunciations will result in shift in meaning, pronunciation without considering errors will interfere and cause misunderstanding in meaning.…”

This research addresses pronunciation errors of English diphthongs made by EFL students. The data were collected from pronunciation recordings of 9 post-graduate students who were studying linguistics in the second year. Three of the respondents were male and 6 female students. Studies show that different backgrounds and cultures affect sounds and sound styles as they are related to pronunciation or language styles. The purpose of this research was to analyze and describe the pronunciation errors of English diphthongs made by EFL students. Diphthong is divided into two types, namely GA (General American) and SSBE (Standard Southern British English) or commonly referred to as British accent. To collect the data, the researchers recorded students’ pronunciations using a smartphone. The data collected were then analyzed by employing qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The results show that 4 students used SSBE diphthong accent and 5 used GA diphthong accents. In this analysis, there were also 4 students who made pronunciation errors in pronouncing [eɪ], [ɛə], [ʊə] and [aɪ] diphthongs, 3 students had problems about [aʊ] and 2 students mispronounced [oʊ] diphthong.

“…This classification stems from the process of pronouncing a diphthong, which involves starting with one vowel sound and transitioning or gliding to another, effectively combining two distinct vowel sounds (Ambalegin & Arianto, 2018;Ponidi et al, 2021). Thus, diphthongs are often defined as unique vowel sounds within a language that comprise a blend of two vowels, with the tongue shifting from one position to another during the utterance of a single syllable (Novarita, 2018;Nugraha et al, 2022). In teaching these diphthong pronunciations, it's crucial for educators to have students practice articulating each diphthong thoroughly, emphasizing the glide from one vowel position to the next, enabling clear expression in various linguistic contexts.…”

“…Moreover, the intricacies of English diphthongs further underscore the importance of phonological understanding (Ambalegin & Arianto, 2018;Novarita, 2018). Some experts in the field categorize English diphthongs into two major types, each with its distinct pronunciation patterns and nuances.…”

The main purpose of this study was to examine Animated Trapezium to teach the English Diphthongs as one of some important and complicated aspects, the articulation of diphthongs is often treated as the “stepchild of language learning aspects” compared to that of grammar and vocabulary. Further than that, as one of the phonetic systems, articulating diphthongs is not usually taught explicitly in secondary schools. Indeed, articulating diphthongs is often problematic for the EFL/ESL teachers as well. This study found that most (if not all) English teachers adopted some approaches by relying on materials that, as a matter of fact, lack grounding but expect good results. In Indonesia, particularly in West Nusa Tenggara for the secondary school level, articulating diphthongs is one most difficult parts of the English sound systems to learn. It is commonly known that the difficulties are caused by the fact that in the Indonesian language, diphthongs are usually (if not always) articulated by monophthongize. As such, in trying to articulate the English diphthongs, secondary school students also tend to monophthongize them. Designed by giving animation to the common English vowel trapezium, this paper is intended to discuss how this ‘Animated Trapezium’ can be used by English teachers as the medium of teaching and how this medium can help students easier to understand and practice articulating the English diphthongs.

“…Previous studies that focused on vowel sounds have been conducted by Sіlfіyah (2014), Ali (2015), andFrijuniarsih (2018). Moreover, Anggraini (2016) and Novarita (2017) conducted a study that only focused on the obstacles for Indonesian speakers of English diphthong sounds. Umantari (2016) conducted a study on the pronunciation problems of English consonant sounds encountered by the students of senior high school.…”

This qualitative research attempted to review the influence of the Pontianak Melayu dialect on studentsâ€™ English pronunciation of English speech sounds. The objectives of the study were to explain the influence of Pontianak Melayu dialect on studentsâ€™ English pronunciation of vowels, consonants, diphthongs, and consonant clusters and to explain the way teachers play their roles to improve studentsâ€™ pronunciation. This study used a qualitative case study design. The subjects of this study were 17 students from seventh-grade of Junior High School who are originally from the Pontianak. The data were collected by using questionnaires, studentsâ€™ recordings, observation checklists, and interviews. The results of this study show that the Pontianak Melayu dialect contributed insignificant positive transfer on English vowel sounds [É”:], [ÊŠ], and [É’]. It gave significant negative transfer on English consonant sounds [f, v, k, s]. It also gave insignificant negative transfer on English diphthong sound [aÉª]. It gave significant negative transfer on English consonant cluster sounds [fr] and [kl], and significant negative transfer on three consonant clusters. Meanwhile, the teacher did play her role in improving studentsâ€™ pronunciation. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the Pontianak Melayu dialect did not strongly give positive and negative transfer to the studentsâ€™ English pronunciation. The easiness might be caused by the similarities between the Pontianak Melayu language and English. The difficulties might be caused by the lack of studentsâ€™ knowledge about correct pronunciation, lack of pronunciation practice, studentsâ€™ inability to recognize the words, and spelling interference. In teaching pronunciation processes, the teachers and the students should be supported each other to reach the best achievement. The teachers taught by supporting media such as English songs, western movies or English short stories, etc. Meanwhile, the students practice more and more.
