DICTATION
AS A TESTING DEVICE OF LISTENING: ANALYSIS
OF STUDENTS’ ERROR

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background of the Study
There
are many ways to know the students’ proficiency in English. One of them is by
using dictation. Using dictation as a testing device of listening is effective
since dictation can check the students’ proficiency of English spelling through
their listening skill. We realize that English as a foreign language is a difficult
subject for Indonesian students to learn, because the language has a lot of rules
which are different from Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian).
For
example, pronunciation of most English words are not spelled the way they are
pronounced, while in Indonesian language the students will never find any
difficulty in pronouncing or writing down Indonesian words because it correspondences
between sounds (phonic) and letters (graphic symbols). The grammatical rules,
such as adding an –s ending to pluralize a noun of English words never occur in
Indonesian grammar. Such differences will make the Indonesian students unable
to comprehend easily the language being learned. They have to be trained both
in written and oral exercise.
