PHONOLOGY CLASS
Joining
phonology class is usual for English students, especially me as an English
student but I have to learn this lesson because phonology must be taken in the
journey of studying English at state Islamic university of Malang. When I joined
phonology class with Mrs. Like as a lecturer, I did not know what I had to
learn. I tried to understand what phonology is and it was a good experience for
me when I joined phonology class.
In
fourth semester, I had to take phonology class. In this class, I got a lesson
how to pronounce English well. I studied many things that I did not know before
about English phonetics and phonology. It helped me when I learnt English in my
campus. I learnt the production of sounds, the Indonesian sound system and
English sound system. All this lessons had to learn in phonology class. I was
very interesting when I learnt about English word stress. Started from this
lesson, I could distinguish how to pronounce a word in different context. It
made me easier to speak English clearly and made me so confidence when I
attempted to speak English in front of people but there were some problems when
I learnt this lessons because Indonesian language was different with English
such as the production of sounds. It was so difficult for me to distinguish the
production of English vowels because we tended to mix them up and pronounced
certain words in the wrong way. So, I had to know the front vowels, the back
vowels and the mid central vowels of English vowels.
That
is my experience when I joined phonology class. I expect to be a good English
speaker when I take phonology class in this semester. Thus, I can speak English
like a native speaker and it can help me to reach my dream in getting
scholarship study abroad.
