Abstract
Listening comprehension is difficult for Junior high school students. One of the problems is recognizing “microskills” English sounds. To help the students recognize “microskills” English sounds, the researcher decided to use Classroom Action Research (CAR) to teach “microskills” English sounds using Text-To-Speech (TTS). This research aims to improve students’ ability in recognizing microskills English sounds and to find out whether TTS improve the students’ ability in recognizing “microskills” English sounds. In this study, the researcher conducted it in three cycles. The procedures in each cycle included planning, acting, observing, testing, and reflecting. The participants were 30 students of class 8 B of Al Hikmah Junior High School for 2013-2014 academic years. The results of the study show that TTS could succesfully improve the students’ ability in recognizing “microskills” English sounds. TTS has helped the students identify verb 2 sounds, recognize strong and weak stresses, and linkage. In teaching the “microskills” English sounds, the researcher needed to repeat the model of pronunciation of verb 2 sounds, weak stresses, and linkage by using TTS. The students recognized the sounds by repetition.
