Abstract

Pronunciation is one of the important aspects of a language. One way to have pronunciation skills like a native speaker is a practice using the right techniques. Tongue twisters are one of the techniques that can be used for pronunciation practice. This study aims to determine the strategies used by students in learning pronunciation using tongue twisters and the benefits and challenges they face while learning. Participants in this study were 5 students who were members of an English club at a high school in Pekalongan. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results of this study indicate that students use various strategies in using tongue twisters to learn pronunciation, including Memory, Cognitive, Compensation, Metacognitive, Affective, and Social. By implementing these strategies, students feel the benefits of using tongue twisters including increasing pronunciation skills, training focus and concentration while learning, and increasing self-confidence to pronounce English words and speak English. However, students also face their own difficulties in learning pronunciation using tongue twisters, including the difficulty of pronouncing almost the same words repeatedly and the difficulty of pronouncing foreign words.
