The study contrasts the phonemic systems of Korean and Indonesian. Based on this, Indonesian learner's Korean pronunciation is explored, and focusing on the pronunciation errors appeared pedagogical methods of Korean pronunciation are suggested.
The pronunciation is the most basic element of communication, which is also closely related with other language functions. The study of pronunciation is an essential part of a foreign language education. Especially, the composit of a pronunciation, the phonemic system in other words, is the foundation of all the educations related to pronunciation. However, in Korean education, it is hard to find the study focusing on its phonemic system directed toward the Indonesian learners. Although many Indonesian learners of Korean are experiencing lots of difficulties in Korean pronunciation, the education on it has been rarely conducted in appropriate manner.
In this study, we analyze the monophthong and consonant systems of Korean and Indonesian focusing on the differences, select the items that errors are expected and test if the pronunciation errors actually occur through experiments. Accordingly, we select the error types and find out the reasons behind them to suggest the pronunciation pedagogical methodologies that reflect our findings.
In chapter 1, the objectives and significance of the study are presented as well as the study methods. Also, we explore the existing studies featuring contrasts of phonemic systems and speech test on the Korean learners who are the native speaker of other languages.
In chapter 2, the monophthong and consonant systems of Korean and Indonesian are explored in depth, and are analyzed in contrastive manner. Based on the results, it is expected that the distinctions of /ㅓ/, /ㅗ/, /ㅡ/ among the monophthongs and lenis, aspiration and fortis among the consonants are the areas the learners would feel most difficult.
In chapter 3, the speech experiments are conducted to test the Korean pronunciation pattern of Indonesian-speaking learners. In terms of the monophthong, vowel /ㅓ/ generates a noticeable pronunciation errors, while showing a pattern of replacing '/ㅓ/ into /ㅗ/.' For the consonants, they feel difficulty in distinguishing the lenis, aspiration and fortis according to the breathiness. Especially, the high error rates are found in the lenis, showing the pattern of replacing 'lenis into aspiration.' The errors in fortis are followed next, with replacing 'fortis into aspiration.' The acoustic phonetics analyses are followed on the errors found during the course with the analyses of formant for the monophthong, and the measurement of VOT (Voice Onset Time) and the pitch subsequent to find more concrete and clear reasons of pronunciation errors in terms of the physical aspect.
Based on the results, in chapter 4, the Korean pronunciation education methodology directed toward the Indonesian native speakers reflecting the cause of errors is suggested in the step-wase manner of warming up→presentation→practice→use→follow up. In chapter 5, we provide the summary and conclusions.
In the study, we explore the study of Korean pronunciation education geared toward the Indonesian learners, which has been rarely studied. Our study is limited in focusing only on the monophthong and consonants and not exploring the pronunciation pattern as a whole and not testing the effectiveness of our methodology. However, we believe that exploring the actual pronunciation patterns of native-Indonesian speakers and figuring out the causes behind errors and suggesting the educational methodology based on that while any concrete educational method or text directed towards the Indonesian-speaking Korean learners has been developed. Building upon our study, we hope future studies focusing on the Indonesian-speakers continue to be conducted, and also become a good addition for the field of Korean education.
