This study investigates the impact of Madurese accent toward students' English word stress at SMPN 6 Jember. It aims to analyze how the phonological characteristics of the Madurese language influence the accuracy and patterns of English word stress among learners. The study concludes with recommendations for teaching strategies that focus on stress awareness and phonetic practice to enhance students' pronunciation skills. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of language interference in second language acquisition and provide practical insights for improving English language education in multilingual contexts.
The research question of this study is How to reduce the impact of Madurese accent on students’ English word stress at SMPN 6 Jember. The objective of this research is to identify whether Madurese accent affects students’ English word stress at SMPN 6 Jember. The research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing recordings of students' spoken English, interviews, and phonological analysis to examine their stress placement on multi-syllabic words. The findings reveal that students often transfer stress patterns from their native Madurese accent, leading to deviations from standard English stress norms. Key factors influencing this transfer include the syllable-timed nature of the Madurese language and limited exposure to native English pronunciation.
