“…In cycle two, students had accustomed to the phonetics transcription exercises, they were able to correct their errors by themselves by seeing the transcription exercises. It is in line with Hesselwood [5] where students and teachers do not need much time to teach pronunciation, without too many "repeat after me" direction, students were able to remedy their pronunciation. That is one of advantages teachers and students can get in using transcription exercises.…”

“…The first is called narrow transcription: it's transcription that attempts to record every single phonological feature (sound) of an utterance, whether it is important to meaning or not. Narrow transcription is useful mainly when you are trying to show students their own foreign accents, or when you are contrasting accents of English or comparing pronunciation of English with pronunciation of other languages [5]. Furthermore, Hesselwood [5] stated that the second form of transcription is referred to as broad transcription.…”

Pronunciation, sometimes become a forgotten skill in teaching and learning English. Teachers are reluctantly drilling their students' pronunciation. It is because the English pronunciation is not regular, so both students and teachers need long time to study about it. The problem about pronunciation was also happened in the fourth semester students of English Education Study Program in STKIP PGRI Pasuruan. Phonetic transcription exercise was the way used to improve the students' pronunciation ability. This is a Classroom Action Research where students were given two kind of tests, reading aloud test and phonetic transcription test. Questionnaires were also given to the students to know their response about phonetic transcription exercises. The results showed that for the first cycles some students still make mistakes in pronouncing some words given although they have known the phonetic visualization, but in the second cycle, there was a significance improvement of pronunciation ability, this is due to students have got accustomed to the phonetic symbols and could apply it to their pronunciation. It can be concluded that phonetic transcription exercises could improve students' pronunciation ability because it could show the precise visual written record of the sound itself.

“…Ladefoged and Disner (2012) cite research showing that listeners can accurately discriminate differences as low as 12 Hz, but they note that the just noticeable difference may be different in different parts of the vowel space. Heselwood (2013) suggests that the average just noticeable difference is 60 Hz in F1 and 175 Hz in F2. This may indicate that the difference between Sapo's midfront rounded vowels is not perceptually noticeable in narrative style, but is perceptually noticeable when he starts speaking more carefully and self-consciously.…”

Writing a linguistic symphony: Analyzing variation while doing language documentation

Typically, a study of variation starts from the known and works its way into the unknown. But what happens when you are analyzing variation at the same time as you are grappling with the fundamental structure of the language? Whereas variationist methods often involve doing strategic violence to the data, isolating single variables, documentation tends to encourage a broader perspective. This article shows how documentation of Nkep (Central Eastern Oceanic, Vanuatu) has progressed when guided by a focus on internal and social variation. Three variables are discussed (the near merger of two front vowels, lexical borrowing, and the expression of subject agreement) to highlight the rewards and challenges associated with drawing together two subdisciplines (variation and documentation) that have not traditionally had much to say to each other. Analyzing variation alongside documentation encourages us to write ‘symphonies of variation’, as opposed to ‘sonatas’ of individual variables.
