Abstract

The study aimed at exploring the phonological interference made by Pendalungan students in EFL reading, particularly in vowel phonemes. Pendalungan is an assimilation of two majority ethnics in Eastern Java; Java and Madura. Due to the unique characteristics of the language used by this group of community, it is assumed that the errors made by EFL Pendhalungan students might show different patterns as those found in either Javanese and Madurese students. To answer the problem of the research, the descriptive qualitative design was employed. There were eight students who belonged to the Pendalungan community, from a private university in East Java were taken as respondents. The secondary instruments used was an oral test of reading an English text. The finding showed that there were 12 incorrecty pronounced vowels; /ɪ, aʊ, ɔ:, e, Ʌ, əʊ, aɪ, ɪə, ə, ɒ, eɪ, æ/. The finding was analyzed based on the types of phonological interference, namely sound addition, sound omission, and sound replacement. The first two types have the least cases of two for each, while the last type has the most. Furthermore,the phonological interference emerged in the finding is somehow related to the nature of both languages, Javanese and Madurese. Inaccuracy mostly occurs because students pronounce the words as they are written.

Abstract

Learning other language is not just translating ideas into the targeted language, but it is an act of learning the whole set of the language itself. In the context of teaching English as a Foreign Language, teachers take very crucial role. They should be able to set such atmosphere where their students can be exposed into English environment as much as possible. On the other hand, maintaining the use English at all time is a difficult task to do, since the vocabulary of the foreign learners, often, is very limited. It creates a challenge for the teacher, in terms of making the students comprehend a certain word that they do not understand previously. Shifting into the mother tongue is surely the easiest escape from this matter. However, a teacher should be creative enough to find alternatives that allow the students to learn new words while the use of English is maintained. There are techniques that a teacher can use to provide comprehension to the students without shifting into the mother tongue.
