Abstract

Pronunciation is one important factor to consider speaking competency such that the student can quickly understand appropriately and respond to sentences or utterances directed at them, but it includes a factor that becomes students’ obstacles to speak English. One of the problems is that the English word spelling does not match the pronunciation; on the other hand, Indonesian word pronunciation is like the spelling. This study investigated the effect of RWD on students’ ability to differentiate English vowel sounds by utilizing Rhyming Word Dominoes (RWD). RWD is rhyming word packed on flash cards in the form of dominoes which were played by the students by reading aloud rhyming words written on the cards. This technique, as part of audio-language method, is expected to be an alternative technique instead of a technique used in the grammar-translation method. This study employed an experimental method under the following design: true experimental design with randomized subjects and pretest-posttest control group design. The sample total for this study was 68 students consisting of 34 students for each treatment and control group. To assess the effect of RWD technique, this study used paired sample t-test to measure the difference between pretest and posttest and between control and treatment group. The findings revealed that both the experimental and the control groups had performed a statistically significant development at the posttest. Although the control group increased their ability to differentiate English vowel sounds, the fact that the experimental group performed a significantly higher development implied that RWD had a significant effect on students’ ability to differentiate English vowel sounds than their usual method.
