It is surely incontestable that the IPA alphabet, like the system of vowel and consonant classification on which it is based, contains obvious anomalies; some or others of which have been discussed in recent proposals for reform (e.g. Breckwoldt 1971, McClure 1972, Hammarström 1973). Fox (1975), in an interesting attempt to widen the scope of the discussion, has argued that the anomalies are less serious than they appear, on the grounds that (a) they do not interfere with the practical usefulness of the alphabet, and (b) a more positive and more fundamental point—they reflect in some cases what appear to be linguistic universals, such as the potential use of retroflex consonants as a distinctive category and the widespread preference for voiced over voiceless nasals.

There are a lot of English books published in Indonesia today. Since learning English is the matter of playing sounds, using book as the source of learning has some advantages and disadvantages. Written English has no sound, it is only captured by the eyes while sound is something that should be heard by the ear. Thus, to learn English sound in the proper way, sound symbol in the English books are supposed to be recognized in international standard. One of the standards is International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Therefore, the writer wants to analyze on the vowel phonemic transcription as English sound representation used in the selected English books for children based on IPA. This research used descriptive qualitative research design because this research used the data from documents to present the finding. Each book had different chapters and contents. From those chapters, the researcher selected only the contents which had the same title. Finally, one same title selected for this...

ENGLISH: Pronunciation includes as one of important skills of English. It is essential to be acquired particularly for students who broaden English. As it affects to the comprehensibility of communication, therefore teacher should teach pronunciation properly to correct students’ pronunciation. There are three aims of this study (1) to know how the implementation of IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) based phonetic transcription in learning pronunciation for students in the pronunciation class of Aphrodite English Club (2) it is intended to know the teacher’s perspectives during teaching pronunciation using the phonetic transcription and (3) to explore students’ perspectives toward the teacher’s pronunciation teaching system. The study’s design is descriptive using a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study are a pronunciation teacher and 30 students of a pronunciation class who learned pronunciation using IPA based phonetic transcription. To obtain the data, the research...

This paper aims at comparing two different approaches to teaching the fundamentals of broad phonemic transcription-the old-fashioned, teacher-centred method involving repetition and drill exercises, and a more recent, relatively under-researched, learner-oriented method proposed by Adrian Underhill (2005). The idea behind the latter is to make pronunciation, hence the IPA symbols , empirical and physical, i.e. visible or, better yet, touchable. To determine whether the aforementioned teaching approaches are dissimilar in terms of effectiveness , we conducted an empirical study with two groups of Serbian EFL learners. One group was subjected to traditional teaching practices whereas the other was exposed to Underhill's phonemic training program. Furthermore, we distributed a questionnaire to both groups of participants to gain an insight into the learners' attitudes toward the applied methods. The data indicate that the Underhill method has contributed to improved results with regard to learning success and memory enhancement. Taking into consideration the universal application of the IPA symbols, the paper underscores the relevance of this innovative method for teaching phonemic transcription, not only of English, but any other world language.
