CHAPTER
I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Everybody has learned
their language since they were children, especially their mother tongue. The
process occurs naturally and properly with a view to communicate in society of
environment. Speaking ability is also one skill which we learned in
communication.
As well know,
communication is a part of human’s daily activities. Through communication by
using language, we can share our ideas with the other people.
In line with the more
global world, we are demanded to able to communicate not only by using our
mother tongue but also by using a foreign language, especially English which
obviously more difficult to do since we have a limitation of knowledge about
foreign language. On the other hand as an international language, English is
used to communicate in International society, it makes speaking ability becomes
very important to master. And pronunciation
is the most important thing in speaking.
B. Problem
Some
suggestions are formulated in order to minimize the students’ speaking
problems. For the students, they must follow the teacher’s instructions well so
that they can improve their speaking ability. They should be aware that the
teacher uses these strategies not only to minimize the problems occurred but
also to improve their speaking ability. It is also hoped that the students will
be more active in using English while doing movie viewing activity so that they
can improve their speaking ability. In addition, they have difficulties to
pronounce it. And they have less knowledge about how to pronounce well.

C. Purpose
We hope the young generations study
about pronunciation earlier. In order that, they can speak English better, as we
know that English is International Language.
Now day there isn’t something without English. So, make
Indonesian better with English pronunciation because it is very important in
speaking. We hope learners can speak with a correct pronunciation because if we
speak with wrong pronunciation, the meaning will be different.

B. ANALYSIS
The girl 1’s development is slow
because she doesn’t have a strong motivation to study English pronunciation
well. And she doesn’t have much time to study it because she have to study at
school until afternoon and in the night she have to study at cottage. And also
there isn’t a good and complete facility
to support on studying English.
The girl 2’s development is quite
fast because she has strong motivation from herself and also from her parent to
study English well. In other hand she has much time to study it and there are
complete facilities to support her to study English, especially study English
pronunciation. And she also takes an English course. So the development is
quite fast.

C.
CONCLUSION
Speak English is not easy. We must
know the word, the meaning and the important one is the pronunciation.
Pronunciation is needed because if we speak with the wrong pronunciation, it
means that it has different meaning.
Pronunciation must be known by students
earlier. Although they are in Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High or Senior
high School.

CHAPTER III
CLOSING
A. Conclusion
Pronunciation
in English is very important. If we pronounce word in wrong pronunciation, the
meaning will be different.
