Abstract

This study was carried out the phonological development of children inacquiring English pronunciation made by students of Aisyiah PembinaKindergarten Salatiga in 3 up to 5 years old. This study was also intended to givesome contributions concerning the kinds of incorrect English pronunciationswhich made by children and the factor influences the dominant incorrect Englishpronunciations. This study is descriptive qualitative research. The writer hadchosen students in A class which the subject were 20 students. The case studymethod is used to analyze the problem intensively.The phonological process types were classified based on phonologicalpatterns such as syllable structure, assimilation, substitution, and deletion ofsound which subs divided into 16 processes. The dominant incorrect Englishpronunciation produced by non contiguous assimilation. The confusion todistinguish the /r/ and /1/ consonants causes the inverted problem to face betweenboth consonants. In addition, there were new inventions of producing incorrectpronunciations which found out outside the theory.The factor that influenced the incorrectness was found out from thetranscription data. There was a difference place and manner of obstructionbetween Indonesia and English consonant produced through palatal-fricativewh:ich the active articulator is tip of tongue, whereas the passive one is hardpalate. Meanwhile, the /r/ consonant of Indonesia system produced throughalveolar-trill. The alveolar system employs the tip of tongue as active articulatorwhich evokes a vibration and the passive articulator used to support theproduction of /r/ is alveola. The /r/ consonant of Indonesia closes to Ill soundwhich ahs alveolar-lateral. The same position between /r/ and Ill evokes theproblem above.According to the result of the study, the dominant factor caused bychildren's confusion to distinguish the speech sound which likely similar eachother. Hence, the writer concludes the children of 3 up to 5 ages produce manyincorrect English pronunciations.
