PEMEROLEHAN ARTIKULASI BUNYI KONSONAN BAHASA INDONESIA PADA TUTURAN MAHASISWA ASING (BIPA) ASAL NEGARA VIETNAM

The acquisition of articulation of consonant sounds of BIPA students from Vietnam often faces challenges due to phonological differences between Vietnam-ese and Indonesian, especially in the pronunciation of consonants. BIPA students from Vietnam generally take longer to master the articulation of Indonesian con-sonant sounds, due to significant differences in intonation and phonetic patterns between the two languages. This study uses a qualitative method with a descrip-tive approach. The data was obtained through observations, voice recordings, and interviews with Vietnamese students who studied Indonesian. The analysis was carried out using praat software to measure the duration, intensity, and spectrum of consonant sounds spoken by the research subjects.
The results of the study showed that Vietnamese students had difficulty articulating several Indonesian consonant sounds, such as /j/, /n/, and /m/. This dif-ficulty is caused by the difference in phonological characteristics between Viet-namese and Indonesian. Students tend to pronounce consonant sounds with dura-tion and intensity that are not in accordance with Indonesian standards. In addi-tion, the spectrum of sound produced is also different, showing differences in ar-ticulation positions. This study suggests that the teaching of phonology in BIPA programs emphasizes more on specific articulation exercises and the use of tech-nology to provide more targeted feedback. With a better understanding of the acoustic characteristics of Indonesian consonant sounds, foreign students can practice pronunciation more effectively.
