Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of word stress in the pronunciation of English words by third-semester students of the English Study Program at UIN Jurai Siwo Lampung. In speaking learning, word stress is an important aspect that affects clarity and accuracy of pronunciation. This study uses a qualitative approach with six students as research subjects. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed to identify the types of errors that appeared in the use of word stress. The results showed that students still made various errors in pronunciation, with the majority of errors being stress neutralization. These findings indicate that students' understanding and awareness of the importance of word stress still needs to be improved in the process of learning speaking.

Keywords: word stress, speaking, pronunciation error, stress neutralization, EFL students
