Pronunciation is a very important aspect in English speaking, this is because in English there are many words that have spellings and sounds that are similar to each other.

In this design, the researcher used two groups of classes. One group was used as the experimental class, in this case was 7A which consisted of 22 students. Another group was 7B used as the control class, which consisted of 22 students. The researcher used pre-test and post-test designs in both groups of classes. Only the experimental class received the treatment using reading aloud strategy while the control class did not. The researcher collected data from the students before and after they received a treatment. The data from the pre-test and post-test were used to see how the students were doing before and after the treatment. The researcher measured the students' pronunciation ability on the pre-test and post-test.
