increasing of post-test result which better and higher than pre-test. Audio-lingual
method can be used as one of methods to teach pronunciation. The writer also
found some difficulties in teaching pronunciation, especially at the beginning of
the research. It comes from inside and outside the students themselves. From
inside the students, the writer found that students motivation to learn
pronunciation is low. They believed that pronunciation is not important as four
language skills. From outside, the writer found that the environment around the
students didnt support them to learn pronunciation. They learn pronunciation at
school and then they speak their mother tongue at home.

speak in front of the class and gives them reward for their

bravery to speak in front of the class which can motivate them

to be braver.

especially pronunciation. In this case, the writer suggests

Audio-lingual method as a method to teach pronunciation.

process into a good cover and material. So that the students

can enjoy the activities which given by the teacher.
