Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze pronunciation errors made by eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Metro in reading aloud English recount texts.

This study uses a descriptive qualitative method focusing on the segmental aspects of pronunciation, particularly vowel and consonant sounds. The data were collected through observation, recordings, and interviews.

The results of the study show that there are three types of pronunciation errors found in reading aloud activities: substitution (sound replacement), omission (sound omission), and addition (sound insertion). Substitution is the most frequently occurring error, accounting for 78.26%, followed by omission at 19.13%, and addition at 2.61%. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that pronunciation errors are still commonly found in reading aloud English recount texts. Therefore, regular reading aloud practice with proper guidance, either individually or with the help of teachers, is needed to help reduce pronunciation errors in English at the eighth grade students Junior High School 4 Metro.
