Abstract

In learning BIPA, phonological error during speech would create discrepant meanings and hinders communication between interlocutors. Errors are made due to a lack of understanding about phonetic system or the sound of Bahasa Indonesia as their second language. This research is aimed to analyze phonological error produced by Bahasa Indonesia VCE students with English as their first language in a senior high school in Victoria, Australia. The method utilized in this study is the qualitative descriptive method. Data obtained by the researcher is verbal speech by VCE students when they had practiced environment interview topic in 2020 using SBLC technique. Data was collected by taking notes and recordings which were then transcribed. Analysis was conducted through data transcribing stages, error analysis, and writing conclusions. The result of the research showed that learners’ phonological errors included mispronouncing [o] vocal sound into [ə], consonant [ɡ] into [j], vocal [ə], [e], and [Ɛ], sound [h], and pronunciation of [Ɂ]. The most frequent error was the mispronunciation of the consonant [t] into [tʃ]. One of the reasons is the interference of English as learners’ first language (B1). This error, if not swiftly handled, would cause a long-lasting effect on learners’ understanding of the phonological system of Bahasa Indonesia and alter meaning in communication. The data from the results of this study are expected to be used as evaluation material for BIPA teachers as a follow-up action to correct Bahasa Indonesia pronunciation errors made by students, especially those who speak English as their first language.
