The primary data will be the records from Radio Masdha announcers. The news is given to the respondents to be read. The writer will listen and record
the news. Next, the writer will analyze the record.
2. Data Analysis
The analysis had been done step by step. The first step was giving the questionnaires to the announcers. The questionnaire contains their broadcasting
name, origin, daily language, major, and 10 ten questions using Likert scale. The questions were about how often and fluent they use Indonesian and English.
The researcher eliminated 6 six announcers from English Letters Department and 1 one announcer from English Language Education Study
Program. The researcher also eliminated those who speak Javanese and Sundanese in their daily life. They were all 4 four announcers. One of them takes English
Letters Department for his major, so the researcher eliminated 3 three more announcers based on their daily language.
Those who did a recording were 10 ten announcers. They were 3 three from Management, 1 one from Math Education, 3 three from Psychology, 1
one from Guidance and Counseling, 1 one from Economics Education, and 1 one from Indonesian Letters.
The purpose of eliminating the English Department students was because they have already known about English Phonetics. They also get used to use
English as their daily conversation, at least when they are in the classroom, so that they will know how to pronounce the words well. The purpose of eliminating
Javanese and Sundanese speakers was because the researcher does not put in Javanese and Sundanese phonetic and focus more in Indonesian phonetic.
The researcher had asked the announcers to read a news and been recorded. The total words appear in the text is 151 words. The words are grouped
into 39 sounds. Each recording process took for about two minutes. The first one minute was for the announcer read the text and the second one minute was for the
recording. The researcher focus on the sound mispronunciation in all sound position.
The researcher had transferred the news into the phonetic transcription to make it easier in comparing between the correct and the announcers’
pronunciation. The number and currency form was changed into word form to ease the analysis. The researcher used lingorado.com to help transferring the
transcription. Next, the researcher listened to the records and transferred it into the phonetic transcription. To make the transcriptions correct, the researcher tries to
compare the sounds produced by the announcers and the sounds from www.ldoceonline.com. Last, the researcher will analyze what sounds are often
mispronounced by the announcers and the reason why. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
