This study attempts to describe the types of difficulties in learning English vowels and determines the types of errors committed by learners. The sample of this study is composed of two main groups, each of which consists of (20) participants, the first and secondyear students at Al-Nisour University College for the academic year 2021-2022.

The researchers used two instruments; an audio recording and a questionnaire. The audio recording is used to catch the learners' speech, and the questionnaire proved whether the learners received enough training in English vowels or not. Descriptive analysis showed the frequencies and percentages of the correct and wrong pronunciation. The findings showed that first-year students are better than second-year students. The most common type of errors found in the learners' pronunciations was misformation, omission, and addition that came after them. Most students faced difficulties in the front position and the back position of the tongue, and some in the central position. The research confirmed that receiving enough training and complete knowledge may help students recognize categories of English vowels easily.

Magister Scientiae, 2021
The study aims to investigate the errors in the long vowel realizations committed by students of English Language Education Department. It is a case study of the English Language Education Department students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. The study employed qualitative method. The data were the recorded pronunciation of twenty students from the Speaking for Informal Interaction class at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. The data were collected when the students performed a storytelling for three to five minutes. In the data analysis, all of the recordings were carefully listened and the mispronunciation of words containing the targeted long vowels was identified. Upon the long vowel error identification, the students’ long vowel production was phonologically transcribed and assigned into the table of long vowels. The table was set according to the classification of the five types of English long vowels, namely [ɑ:], [ɛ:], [i:], [ɔ:], [u:]. Further, the phonological transcription analysis referred to Received Pronunciation (RP) and General American (GA) as the accepted pronunciation standards. The result shows that the English long vowels [i:], [ɑ:], [ɛ:], [u:], and [ɔ:] are replaced with the short vowels [ʌ], [i], [ɛ], [u], and [ɔ] respectively. The replacement is implemented due to the absence of the targeted sounds in the students native language (Bahasa). This phenomenon is the result of phonological transfer.

Error analysis of the pronunciation of English consonants
Moderna Sprak, 2012
We provide here a brief summary of the most significant errors of Faroese speakers in the production of English consonants, and advice on how these can be remedied. The analysis is based on audio recordings of six informants from Eysturoy in the north of the Faroes. Altogether, a total of 3,547 occurrences of sounds were analysed. Results show that Faroese speakers have problems with certain phonemic contrasts which are very similar to those facing many other non-native speakers of English. However, they also exhibit errors which are less usual worldwide (e.g. pre-aspiration of fortis stops). There are at the moment no textbooks for Faroese learners of English, nor any descriptions of their pronunciation difficulties; this paper is a first attempt at filling that gap.
