In Indonesia, the Elementary School provides English in the fourth grade as one of the subject.

Considering that the pronunciation is a factor in determining the success of the students, a research on Pronunciation Problems Encountered by the Javanese Students of SD KATOLIK SANTA ANGELA SURABAYA in the Academic Year 2000/2001 is conducted. The objective of this study is described: (1) students whose mother tongue is Javanese face difficulties in learning English pronunciation, and (2) English pronunciation problems among the students of SD KATOLIK SANTA ANGELA SURABAYA whose mother tongue is Javanese. The study shows that the Javanese students face difficulties in learning English pronunciation. The English pronunciation problems among students are (1) segmental phonemes that involve voiced and voiceless sounds, final stop consonants, vowel diphthongs, and clusters.

For the results of this study, they can not be generalized and applied to a large population, as it was an observational study that only concerned with particular subject under study.
