This final project is written based on the job training which has been done in SDN
Ngoresan, Surakarta. This report discusses the process of pronunciation teaching
and learning, and also the encountered problem accompanied with the solution.
The step in pronunciation teaching consists of four stages. There are motivation
strategy, presentation strategy, skill practice and assessment. Motivation strategy
is the first stage in which the teacher encourages students’ motivation in order that
teaching and learning process can be conducted effectively. Presentation strategy
is held to deliver the materials and give examples how to pronounce words
correctly. The next stage is skill practice in which the teacher gives several
exercises to the students. After doing the exercises, the teacher gives feedback or
correction to the students’ performance. This stage is called assessment.
There are many problems appearing during the teaching and learning process such
as accent influence, students' bad attitude, low motivation, insufficient allocated
time, big class, and limited material as well as facility.
To overcome those problems, the writer gives several solutions and suggestions to
improve the quality of English pronunciation teaching and learning. To solve
affecting accent problem, the writer makes activities that give more chances to the
students to produce sounds actively. Dealing with the students’ bad attitude, the
writer tries to change the students’ negative view toward target language
community by explaining the good aspect of their culture. The writer also
encourages the students’ motivation by introducing the significance of English,
especially pronunciation. Because of insufficient allocated time, the writer makes
activities that suit to the allocated time. Big class causes disorder atmosphere to
appear. To handle this, the writer stops the class until the students settle down and
also warns the students who behave harmfully. To overcome limited material and
facility, the writer makes appropriate material and searches materials from many
resources
