Abstract

This research was aimed to improve the students’ English pronunciation of grade XI of SMA N 2 Bantul through Oral Diary using mobile phone recorder which was implemented during the learning process both inside and outside the classroom. This research was action research in nature. The subjects of this research were the students of grade XI of SMA N 2 Bantul. The instruments of this research were observation checklists, interview guidelines, questionnaires, a speaking test, camera and a mobile phone recorder. The data were collected in two forms, qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were taken from the data of the observation in the class, interviewing the students and the teacher and also distributing questionnaires to the students. As for the quantitative data, they were taken from the speaking test and the recordings of Oral Diary in the students’ mobile phone. To analyze the qualitative data, several stages such as assembling data, coding the data, comparing the data, building meaning and interpretation and then presenting the data were conducted. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were analyzed to find mean and standard deviation scores from each of Oral Diaries. To validate the data, there were five validities that were used, democratic validity, outcome validity, process validity, catalytic validity along with dialogic validity and were strengthened by the implementation of the formula of Pearson’s Coefficient Correlation. The findings of this research show that the students’ English pronunciation of grade XI of SMA N 2 Bantul has improved through Oral Diary using a mobile phone recorder. The Oral Diary as feedback and homework had increased the students’ awareness of their own pronunciation accuracy and had motivated them to do a self-study as they were given more chances to practice speaking and pronunciation outside the class. The implementation of Oral Diary as a game and ice breaking activity also turned the students from shy and passive speakers into confident and active speakers as it had made the students relax during the teaching learning process. By recording their own voice, having their recordings assessed and revising their Oral Diary, the students’ pronunciation accuracy had improved as they made fewer mispronunciations each time they performed speaking practice and made fewer errors as they had recognized the correct pronunciations.
