PRONUNCIATION PROBLEMS IN THE
E. Implication
Teaching English pronunciation is a challenging task with different goals for each level. This guide to teaching pronunciation provides an overview of the main issues that need to be addressed at each level and links to resources on the website such as Lesson plans and activities students use in class to improve their English pronunciation skills. After each level, activities are suggested that are appropriate for that level.
Finally, the best way to improve your students' pronunciation skills is to encourage them to speak English as much as possible. Introduce the idea that students should read aloud when doing their homework. Pronouncing English well requires muscle coordination and that means practice.
F. Summary
In conclusion pronunciation has been indicated as one of the most crucial aspect in English learning that related to the learners’ skill. Factors that affect students' pronunciation skills are divided into 2, namely internal and external factors.
Generally, internal factors come from the student himself, while external factors are influenced by the environment around the students’. Whereas the problem that arises when learning pronunciation is mostly the influence from the mother tongue which is unable to use the same vowels and consonants as in English, this causes students to find it quite difficult to get used to the pronunciation of words in English, but this can still be overcome by training to say English pronunciation from an early age so that it is easier for students to get used to vowels
and consonants in English. Therefore a teaching system is needed that is more able to develop students' abilities in pronunciation as well as the use of games and role plays while studying so that students can better grasp the context and become accustomed to English pronunciation. students can also practice at home by watching learning videos about English pronunciation and practicing using a mirror as an evaluation medium for how to pronounce it so they can find out where the mistakes are.
Pronunciation problems can arise for a variety of reasons, such as accent, phonetic awareness, tongue and mouth placement, language exposure, and speech disorders.
Improving pronunciation problems may involve combining techniques, such as speech therapy, accent reduction training, oral-motor therapy, and exposure to authentic language sources. Therefore, it is important to work with a qualified speech-language pathologist or another healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for each individual's specific needs

INTERFERENCE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNINGNur Anisah
A. Introduction
Indonesia is a multilingual country with over 700 living languages spoken throughout the country, with ethnic languages serving as the First Language (L1) and Bahasa Indonesia serving as the Second Language (L2). Whereas ethnic languages are acquired from infancy within the family circle, Bahasa Indonesia is learned from elementary through university. Considering the theory that bilingualism ranges from full mastery of two languages to comprehension of a second language, it may be inferred that all Indonesian school children are bilinguals (Chaer & Agustina, 1995). A bilingual is a person or community who uses more than languages alternatively. According to Mackey (1972), using two or more languages by the same individual is known as "bilingualism."
Consequently, bilingualism is prevalent and, by all accounts, the norm in Indonesia.
Indonesians are also mandated to learn English in addition to their L1 and L2. According to Lie (2007), Indonesia has four language classifications: regional, national (Bahasa Indonesia), variations of Indonesian (a combination of Indonesian national and regional languages), and foreign languages (English, German, Arabic, etc.). While English is considered a foreign language, it plays an essential role in the daily lives of Indonesians. It is a compulsory subject taught in
