English Education Study Program, Tanjungpura University Pronunciation
1. Background:
Pronunciation is a way of saying or pronouncing a vocabulary in
English, Pronunciation is directly related to speaking, and therefore

feeling or noble thought through rhythmical composition and beautiful
language (Kennedy, 2005).

improved by using poetry as teaching media to teach speaking. The use of
poetry to teach speaking is able to familiarize students with the

the poems that s/he likes best and teach them in any way that gives
students maximum time speaking, varying the approach as necessary.”
