Abstract :
Over recent decades increasing importance has come to be placed upon English as a means of international communication. The expansion of the use of English in an internationalized world means that the opportunity for L2 speakers of English from different L1 backgrounds to interact in English has increased, and with it the potential for misunderstanding has also increased. By identifying the dominant error in English pronunciation of segmental phonemes produced by Japanese speaker, this data set could be developed to provide information on features of English articulation and pronunciation. This research conducted by using descriptive qualitative research design which take from YouTube video by Yuta Aoki entitled ?Do Japanese people speak English? (2017 interview)? published on March 23rd, 2017. Meanwhile, the data in this study will be transcript of the conversation consisting error pronunciation of segmental phonemes produced by Japanese speaker. The data result showed that the dominant error which Japanese speaker tends to pronounce was in /æ/ sound 31%, /l/ sound 22%, /t/ sound 14%, / ?/ sound 6%, and /?/ sound 3%. The error pronunciation types occur in Japanese speaker made were substitution and insertion, which means there are some language they could not recognized and distinguish sounds which has two similarities which make them confuse to pronounce. It can be concluded that an error in pronunciation can be happened when in their mother language never been teach about it or there are no similar sounds in their language inventories.
