However, there are some factors of understanding in a conversation which are determined by speaking ability; one of them is pronunciation. Not all conversation can be understood by foreigner because not everyone can speak English fluently; those people are referred to non-native speakers. Non-native speaker cannot escape from error while speaking English. This study aimed to identify the kinds of error on the segmental aspect of pronunciation that is often committed by the students and to clarify source of errors on the segmental aspect of pronunciation made by the students. This study used qualitative design as the research method which specifically used case study as the research approach. The researcher decided to use case study in order to focus on the case which is analyzing students’ pronunciation error on the segmental aspect, and to clarify the students’ source of errors on the segmental aspect of pronunciation. Moreover, there are two instruments that were used by the researcher to gather the data; interview and focus group discussion.

Furthermore, this study indicated that all three students’ causes of error on the segmental aspect of pronunciation is the phoneme contrasts between students’ country language and English.
