Abstract: Syllable as one part of suprasegmental features is enacted as a crucial aspect of speech in learning English
sounds especially pronunciation and very different when they are uttered in daily interaction. This study aims
to probe and appraise the relation between structures and types of syllables in each formation of the song. The
data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative involved 38 students at a higher institution in IAIN
Tulungagung. The research instruments used in the research are the subtitle of the song ‘Goodbye’ in the
English version by iKON, students’ practices, and interviews. The result of the study showed that there was
linguistic problem involves the analysis of types and components of a syllable (onset, rhyme, nucleus, and
coda) by considering the phonetic transcription and rank the sounds in syllable based on sonority hierarchy.
In addition, it was also highlighted that linguistically, English and Indonesian pertain to two divergent
language families. By all means, the sound systems of two languages could alter enormously and for this
reason, the dilemma occurred in two close-mid and open-mid vowels /е/ and /a/ in (say), /æ/ and /e/ in (have)
and the use of different phonetic transcription of the vowel as the nucleus. The adjacent counterpart speech
sounds of /е/ and /a/ may lead to a positive transfer due to its similarity with the students’ mother tongue.
1 INTRODUCTION
Language is the humans’ subject. The function of
language is to communicate as well as expressing
thoughts and ideas. Humans can express their
thoughts through language and they will be able to
continue their lives well with the language. As social
humans, language is needed because humans use
language to communicate with others (Reddy, 2016).
The students cannot interact easily and well if they
do not master the language between each other and in
the absence of continuity they also cannot capture the
psychic expressions and desires expressed by the
communication opponents. It can also be said that
language as one of the primary needs that have a role
as a regulator of the continuation of life circulation.
As Zhang (2013) aforementioned that the role,
purpose, part of communication is to articulate each
other to remain, exist, tend, and notice the bound
social relationships. To make a social relationship,
humans learn English because is used as an
international language. The era of globalization
encourages us to adapt to modern life order. The
importance of learning English should not be ignored,
without English, we can still live, but this life has
developed rapidly and requires us as parties in the
circle of globalization to participate in increasingly
advanced life order.
This analysis is also supported by Al-Samawi
(2014) established that there are different facets,
conditions of foreign language utterance,
accentuation (syllable), being the toughest foreign
language verbal for Saudi Arabian learners and also
a mean academics might facilitate with harakat to
resolve this problem. In the world of English
language education has a structure or language rules
one of which is linguistics in which there is one aspect
called phonology. In phonology itself, there is one
material about syllable or syllable. The phonetic
entity has generally been taken to be admitted in the
transitional point bounded by a lexeme and a sound.
It is regarded to be a system or entity of articulation
maximally greater than a phoneme and less than a
lexeme. The other analysis additionally conducted by
Ridouane (2008) who declared claim or ideas
presenting that vowel fewer phonetic entity do exist
as cited in Tashlhiyt, each at the phonetic
and descriptive linguistics stages. Carreiras et. al.
(2005) who experimented and examined
variety of observable or physiological investigations
had recommended that phonetic entity would

possibly participate a very important function in
visual lexeme awareness in some languages.
The phonetic entity has advanced beyond
numerous interpretations by plenty philologists.
Jones (1972), for example, talked this entity in
circumstances as follows: “Each sound which
constitutes a peak of prominence is said to be syllabic
and the word or phrase is said to contain as many
syllables as there are peaks of prominence”.
Nurhayati (2019) declared a phonetic entity is a
phonological unit composed of one or two more
sounds. Each syllable consists of a nucleus, which is
commonly a verbal, sonant or oral (but can be a
syllabic liquid or nasal) and a phonetic entity must
represent a verbal, sonant or oral (or phonic-like)
phoneme. The most common category of phonetic
entity in conversational or speech also applies a
consonant (C) before the vowel (V) and is typically
represented as a CV. Technically, the essential
component of those phonetic entities are the onset
(one or more consonant) and the tune. The tune
subsists a verbal or oral, that is considered as the
nucleus, more by the addition several coming
consonant (s), illustrated as the coda. Here the
researchers chose the material structure and type of
syllable studied using the lyrics of the iKON song
entitled goodbye road with the correspondent namely
first semester students in the English education
department.
Tonekaboni and Samaei (2015) additionally
discovered the study regarding the number of
syllables people suppose they are manufacturing is
quite completely different from the phonetic reality,
as a result of the number of intuition persons have into
the articulation of their accentuation is particularly
awfully low. The research examined that instruction
instruments tools even play the capability to be
unified at intermission contrasting conversational
actions indoors surroundings together with
spontaneous instruction exercises and integrated
pupil-intensified or focused exercises to establish
meta-cognitive consciousness.
The other study also conducted by Fery and
Vidjver (2003), Trinh and Jared (2013), Faytak
(2012), Ridouane, Hermes and Halle (2014), Srinivas
et. al. (1992), Stenneken et. al. (2007), Fabienne &
Stéphanie (2012), and Asby and Rayner (2004) who
claimed that success to prove that phonetic unit data
is conceal as a separate of the mental progression that
maintain knowledge beyond smooth pursuit
movements, and Hasenäcker & Schroeder (2016)
additionally support with their study who claimed that
syllables have the required role in education.
Furthermore, Maharani (2017) conducted a research
on the effectiveness of auditory or aural tools in
instructing articulation. Then, Nuari & Ardi (2014)
propose the use of video to teach English. The result
of those investigation figured out that teaching
articulation using auditory-imaged brings effective,
practical, good and constructive consequences to the
pupils’ articulation. It showed that students can learn
pronunciation effectively using video from the native
speaker by listening, repeating, and correcting the
pronunciation. Also, it was obtained that the test score
of the study increased 4 points from 5.25 for pre-test
to 9.25 for post-test. According to some relevant
studies above, it is obtained that most previous
research examined the students’ perception of
learning suprasegmental features in pronunciation.
So, it is evident from the study that students opted for
various analysis of the relation between syllable and
intonation using video to help them compensate for
their inadequate linguistics and sociolinguistic
competence.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Syllable
Another name for syllable is phonetic unit and
defined as a unit of pronunciation having a vowel
sound, with conversely without surrounding
consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word.
For example, there are two syllables in water and
three in inferno (Hornby, 2005).
Some linguists especially phonologists create a
distinction among the phonetic entity and the
phonemic, or phonological entity. The former could
be argued to be the actual rhythmical unit that we can
hear, whereas the latter has a number of phonological
functions. There are three possible phonological
functions for the syllable: (I) It is the domain in which
certain phonological processes take place; (II)
Phonotaxis: Its structure showed which integrations
of arrangements are probably in a specific speech;
(III) Prosody: Its format is a crucial aspect in the
assignment of phonological stress or the 'heavier'
the syllable, the sooner it is assigned stress. Naturally,
the three functions are not so rigidly separated from
each other, but the division between them makes
those treatment of phonetic entity better-formed or
coordinated. To administer a claim to the tests asked
in the investigation, of how and from what the
phonetic entity is built, for instance and/or proofs
could often derive from phonological formation, as
well as from phonotactic and prosodic altercations

(Groningen, 1995: 12)
Structure of a phonetic unit or entity should
consist of a verbal, oral sonant phonic (or vocalized)
phoneme. The foremost familiar or typical form of a
syllable in speech or style additionally features a
consonant (C) before the vowel (V) and is usually
diagrammatic as a CV. Mechanically, the essential
parts of the phonetic entity are the onset (one or a lot
of consonants) and also the rhyme. The tune
(occasionally noted as rime) dwells a vowel, which is
treated because the nucleus, and several coming
consonant (s), delineate because of the close. Syllable
is comparable me, to associate degreed no bear or
possess an onset and a nucleus, however, they need
no close. Those were referred to as free phonetic
entity. Then, once a close occurs, as within the
linguistic unit up, cup, at or hat, they're known as
restricted syllables’. The essential format or
arrangement of the type of linguistic unit boasted in
English word such as inexperienced (CCVC), eggs
(VCC), and (VCC), ham (CVC), I (V), do (CV), not
(CVC), like (CVC), them (CVC), and sam (CVC). it
is shown within the figure below.

2.2 Monosyllabic Words
Monosyllabic words are words that have one syllable.
There are some monosyllabic words otherwise known
as words with one syllable in it. They are involved:
a) The single vowel sound
1) Can. Word can consist of a vowel and two
consonants. This word creates a monosyllabic
word by combining the “a” vowel with two
consonants: “c” and “n”.
2) Dry. Dry consists of a vowel and two
consonants. To form a monosyllabic word, this
word Dry the two consonants of “d” and “r” are
followed by the “i” sound created by the “y”.
b) The double vowels with a single sound
1) Rain. The double vowels and two
consonants create word Rain. There are two
vowels: the “a” and “i” and two consonants
namely “r and “n. The two vowels make “eI”
sounds. The combination of those two vowels
and two consonants forms Rain to be the
monosyllabic word.
2) Three. This word three consists of two
vowels and three consonants. A long “e” sound
is formed from the double vowels of “e”. In
addition, to create a monosyllabic word, the
single vowel sound of “e” is joined the three
consonants of “th” and “r”.
c) The words closing with the silent of “e”
1) Plane. The plane contains three
consonants: “p”, “l”, and “n” and two vowels:
“a” and “e”. The end of the word is silent so that
thee sound is not pronounced. Then, the “a”
sound forms long vowel or long “a”. To make a
monosyllabic word, this word is combined the
long single vowel of “a with the three
consonants.
2) Title. The two vowels and two consonants
form the word title. The “e” lattermost of the
word is muted or restrained so that it represents a
long “i” sound. The long “i” sound in this word
becomes a single vowel. Then, the long single
vowel of “i” is combined with the two
consonants to create a monosyllabic word.
2.3 Polysyllabic Words
Polysyllabic words are words that have two syllables.
There is some polysyllabic otherwise known as words
that contain more than one syllable such as:
1) Banker. The word Banker contains two syllables.
The consonants in this word are four (“b” “n” “k”
“r”) while the vowels are two (“a” and “e”).
2) Glowing. The two syllables form word Glowing.
This word contains five consonants and two
vowels. “Grow” is formed from three consonants
g,l andw and one vowelo, whilei and
“ng” create “ing”.
3) Horrible. This word Horrible consists of three
syllables. The consonants of this word are five
while the vowels are three. The “hor” is formed
from one vowel “o” and two consonants of “h”
and “r”. Then, “ri” is created from one vowel “i”
and consonant “i”, and “ble” is formed from two
consonants b” and “l” and added by one vowel
“e”.
2.4 The Types of Syllable
A. The Open Syllable
A freely syllable is a phonetic unit or entity that
ELITE 2019 - English Linguistics, Literature, and Education Conference
106
contains one verbal with the long sound. The
verbal, oral or sonant is the ending or uttermost
letter of the phonetic unit. In between the open
syllable and the latter sonant, it will be no more
than one consonant. Some examples of open
syllables are ba-by, fe-male, i-vy, fro-zen, & Cu-
pid.
B. The Closed Syllable
A restricted or closed syllable is a phonetic entity
or unit that has one verbal which has a short
phoneme. If a lexeme has two restricted phonetic
entity next to each other, there will be two
opposed to vowels among the sonants, for
instance win-ter, sum-mer, com-mon, & tem-per.
The word must be closed with a consonant if it is
only 2 letters, such as in, on, of, at, & it. If the
word has 3 or more letters, between vowels must
be consonant, both before and after vowel.
C. The R-Controlled Syllable
It is required to pronounce the R-controlled
vowels differently since thise were "controlled"
by the r, er, ur, & ir oral or verbal phonemes
alike er in “her”, while some sound like the ar in
"car". In addition, another ar vowels sound for
instance the ar in "stare" and also the vowels
sound like or in “door”.
D. The Vowel Team Syllable
A category of 2 up to 4 letters, which commonly
verbal that create a sole verbal phoneme is called
a verbal or phoneme category of phonetic unit.
The first vowel is pronounced if a vowel team is
formed from 2 vowels as in rain and clean. A
long or short vowel sound can be created by
vowel team as in saw and feel. If a vowel team
syllable contains a consonant in it, the verbal
phoneme is occasionally articulated variously
from natural sonant as in walk and loud.
E. The Mute-e (VCe) Phonetic unit
The VCe syllable is also called the silent-e
syllable. It is formed from that is followed by a
consonant and continuously followed by the
silent "e". The silent-e syllable has a long sonant
or oral sound, for example: take and care.
F. The C-le Syllable
The C-le phonetic unit otherwise known as the
Consonant-le is formed of a consonant and come
by a "le". There is some instance of words with
the ckle” before the 'le' as in freck-le. the word
end with le with the letter before the 'le' is a
consonant divide 1 letter before the 'le', for
instance, words ap-ple and ta-ble; and the letter
before the 'le' a vowel as in file and tile.
2.5 ESA Method
ESA method is a method to raise the students’ interest
to study. It is guided by Harmer (1998:237) states that
ESA method concerns provoking students’
involvement, concern and emphaty, excitement close
to the case, material, issue, theme to appeal to
consideration, scrunity and encourage them In
addition to improve the students interesting,
involvement and understanding on the new material.
while according to Tomlinson (2013:238) state that
“Engage, Study, Active is a method how to build
students interest about a topic and the teacher
identified as being problems in learning and the
teacher should know to assemble and control that”.
1. The ESA sequence lesson
According to Harmer in Edinburg (2001:54-56), the
three aspects of ESA ought to be present in lesson
sequences, this doesn't mean that they ought to
continuously occur within the same order. The order
is sure to modification the reckoning on what we
would like to attain. Lesson designing is giving
learning patterns for the students:
a) Engage-Study-Active are the teacher gets the
category interested and have interaction, then they
study something; then they struggle to active it by
fixing into production, By all suggests that, (1)
interact is discussion regarding topic and what
language to use; (2) Activate is role-play with teacher
work mistakes; (3) Study is error reflection/discourse
analysis; (4) Activate is Role-play group action study
aspects.
b). Engage-Active-Study-Active are the teacher
gets the scholars engaged before asking them to do
one thing like a written task, a communicative game
or a role-play. Supported what happens there, the
scholar can then, once the activity has finished, study
some side of language that they lacked or which they
used incorrectly.
c). Interact is active-Active-Study-Active-Study-
Engage-Active are that are totally different from the
previous two procedures, might follow a range of
sequence. for instance, interact students are inspired
to active their data before finding out one then another
language component, then returning to maneuver
activating tasks, once that the teacher re-engages
them before doing a little additional study.

107
Engage, study, active are basic building blocks for
successful pedagogy and learning. By exploitation,
they in numerous and varied sequences, teacher are
going to be doing their best to push their student's
success since varied theories and procedures are
concerned during a teaching progression wherever
tutor or instructor tries to provoke the pupils
enthusiasms by engaging their excitement. Some
activities are games, music, difficult discussions,
stimulating photos, dramatic stories, and anecdotes.
The study is that the purpose (activities) during a
learning process, arrays and progression wherever
pupils are demanded, challenged, and inquired to
focus on conducting conversational any topics and the
way those topics are created. They vary from macro
to small concentrations: Macro learning a transcript
for spoken vogue for example, small learning of a
selected verb tense. It includes a range of study styles:
explanations, discovery through proof, groups,
whole-class, pairs, and individual. The most focus is
the development of the conversational. Activate is
that the purpose (activities) during a teaching
sequence wherever students are meant to employ and
apply the conversational as openly and
communicatively as doable. The main target is not on
construction, or active distinct chunks of
conversational or speech, it's to deploy total and
several speech acceptable for a given scenario. Some
activities are role-played, packaging style, debate,
discussions, describe and draw, story and verse form
writing/reading/telling, and cluster writing. Engage,
study, active are basic building blocks for triple-
crown instruction and learning. By exploitation, they
in numerous and varied sequences, teacher are going
to be doing their best to push their student's success
since varied theories and procedures.
2. The Teaching method of ESA technique
In line with Longman (1998:68), a whole lesson is
also arranged on the ESA design wherever the more
or less an hour is spilt into three comprehensively
particular divisions. (a) interact is that the purpose
(activities) during a teaching sequence wherever
Teacher tries to arouse Students interest by involving
their emotions. Some activities are: games, music,
difficult discussions, stimulating photos, dramatic
stories, and anecdotes, (b) Study is that the purpose
(activities) during a teaching sequence wherever
pupils are provoked to concentrate on topics of
conversational or speech and the way they were
created. They vary from macro to small
concentrations: Macro learning a transcript for
spoken vogue, small learning a selected verb tense. It
includes a range of study styles: explanations,
discovery through proof, groups, whole-class, pairs,
and individual. The most focus is the construction of
language. (c) Activate is that the purpose (activities)
during a teaching sequence wherever students are
meant to apply the conversational as openly and
communicatively alike doable. The main target isn't
on pattern or arrangement, or active particular chunks
of speech; it's to deploy all and any style acceptable
for a given scenario. Some activities are role-played,
packaging style, debate, discussions, describe and
draw, story and verse form writing/reading/telling,
and cluster writing.
3 METHODOLOGY
This study used mixed ways of analysis. Mixed ways
analysis may be a kind of research that mixes the
elements of qualitative and quantitative research
approaches. Qualitative analysis may be a style of
instructive inquiry within which researchers create an
interpretation of what they see, hear, and perceive.
While, quantitative may be a systematic empirical
investigation of noticeable phenomena via statistical,
mathematical or process techniques (Creswell 2014).
This study used documentary knowledge assortment.
The documentary methodology is aggregation
knowledge by taking samples from pre-existing
documentation videos. The respondents of this study
were 38 students taking part during this study,
particularly from the primary semester students who
were majoring of English Department at State Islamic
Institute of Tulungagung. Actually, there are 45
students cannot participate.
The instrument of collecting data used written
test, it consisted of 2 questions. Data analysis is
divided into 6 phases. Those are analyzing the
structure of syllable, onset, nucleus, coda, and decide
into the open and closed syllable. The procedure
could be done by finding a video of the song
“Goodbye Road” in Youtube, downloading it by
using youtube online downloader; translating lyrics
from the Korean Language to the English Language;
finding, reading, and writing down the theories;
making a teaching plan toward the University
Students of TBI-1C; creating questions and answer
keys; teaching the University Students of TBI-1C.
Then the next is to conduct some steps to analyze data
using theory and other reference journal or article,
finally, draw the conclusion and then the analysis of
data including data collecting.
As a sample data, the researcher retrieved data by
downloading videos from site www.youtube.com on
ELITE 2019 - English Linguistics, Literature, and Education Conference
108
the Jaeguchi channel with the title “iKON (아이콘) -
„GOODBYE ROAD (이별길)‟ LYRICS (Color
CodedLyricsEng/Rom/Han/가사)” by Jaeguchi
accessed on 11 November 2018. The researcher
downloaded and transcribed the video into text and
used the phonetic alphabet in analyzing the data.
After finding the lyrics, the researcher started
translating Korean lyrics into English and
understanding the sentence in the lyrics. Next, the
researcher wrote down it. Then after finding the
structure, and types of a syllable, the first step in
analyzing is identifying the structure of the word
based on syllable tree. After that, the researcher
decided the words belong to open syllable or closed
syllable.

Because our feelings for each other has become
numb
Even emotionally hurting each other doesn't seem to

Our love for one another is gone
But only sentiment remains
Whatever you do, we've become so nonchalant to
each other

Your interest became an obsession

You were suspicious day and night
The trust we've built for each other has fallen apart
You'll probably find someone new after we break up

Living in past memories
Is a helpless sense of loneliness
To be forgotten from those memories
Is more painstaking than any other brutal moment
I've loved you to death
But in the end, I did not die

The air I exhale becomes a sigh
Everyone goes through a breakup
So let's not be too sad
I'll try to find someone that is alike
But not quite similar to you
I didn't mean to date you just to cry together

4.2 Discussion
After analysing the result of findings above, it found
and figured out that there are different values for each
student in each test. At this stage the researcher
analyzes each student's data both from the written
test, then it will be concluded who the highest
achieving students are in the written test. For writing,
it is sometimes out thus troublesome to get and
discuss with written materials (Zhang, 2013). The
explanation of the results of the discussion was
presented below.
Figure 2: Written Test
Based on the diagram above, it can be concluded
that those who get the highest score are 6 people with
a value of 100, namely LA, RY, SJ, ZI, SI, and AS
but here the author only writes one person in the
diagram because it is only for samples. They get a
value of 100 because they answer the question
completely and correctly, the first one can make a
syllable structure and can identify the words
mentioned including what of the type. Next is the
value of 50 totaling 30 people. Although quite a lot,
the location of the error is different. Most of them get
a value of 50 because they only make the syllable
structure without mentioning what the word includes.
Besides that, the location of the error is in the mention
of the syllable type, which amounts to 4 people,
namely UC, SH, NI, and UO. The third mistake is in
writing the structure, for example in the word "have"
they make a structure with the words "hev" even
though what is made of the structure is that the writing
is not the way to pronounce it, so only onset and coda
that correct, which is classified as 8 people, they are
MR, K, BA, MIS, FA, RN, NM, and PY. Then the
value 25 is obtained by a student named DK, the
mistake is that he identifies the word "say" but in
making his structure write the word "se" so that he
gets the value 25 because only the "s" is classified in
the nucleus. The latter is a student who gets 0 scores
totaling 2 people, named EM and TG. They identify
the word "I" and the error lies in the structure; it
should be classified into the nucleus but instead
classified in onset.
In addition, students’ written test result also
showed that there were advantages of using video as
a media to teach syllable which they can easily
recognize and determine the correct syllable that was
supposed in the lyrics or words. Kriswinardi, et. al.
(2018) on their research figured out that there were
some advantages of using video in teaching speaking,
which this relevant with the use of syllables, stresses,

and correct pronunciation. The result of their study
displayed that some advantages of video in teaching
and learning such as video impersonates a real
communicative situation, video helps them to find out
new culture based on what they see, and by video,
students can strengthen their learning process which
the server information is presented together.
Furthermore, the comparison between this study
with other journals could be seen as follows. Based
on Riswandi (2018) which focused on pronunciation
by using PBL method to more involve the students in
learning activities and high motivation in group work,
stated that students are enjoy to learn with their
friends. Sharing an idea in a group by used English
indirectly can increase the capability of students in
pronunciation, enrich vocabulary, and rise some ideas
in producing sentences while speaking. The students
can get information faster and feel more confident in
dealing with the lesson as they not only depend on
their speaking skills but also on their comprehension.
Then, the involvement of media in learning
process is judged as the impact of students’
achievement. This study use music especially song as
the instrument but there are some researches that used
the others media. Hermawayati (2019) used video
blog (Vlog) as a learning media for upgrading
Agrotechnology Department learners’ achievement
and Ampa (2013) applied multimedia in teaching
speaking skills to get more effective and practical
learning at university.
Then, Romero (2107) mentioned that music gives
the benefit in some aspects such as therapeutic,
cultural, social, and pedagogical features in the field
of SLA and cognitive science. In speaking, music can
be the media in inventing information.
In addition, Manik and Supeno (2018) also proved
the effectiveness of using songs in practicing
pronunciation. The interesting and exciting class can
build the high motivation of students to learn. The
teachers selected the appropriate English songs to
facilitate their students in order to understand easily.
Arjomad and Yazdanimoghadam (2015) also proved
that music is appropriate used in the class because
the naturally interesting of music can increase the
students’ motivation to learn. The method of teaching
by used music is success for teaching pronunciation
to the Iranian EFL learners and enhancing their
intelligibility during conversation. Creating the
enjoyable atmosphere class is the load of teachers so
music can be one of the choices to overcome.
Furthermore, music has positive influence on
memory and allows for a better retention.
5 CONCLUSION
A syllable is a sole or single of the most meaningful
course in foreign language. As these language users
speak mathematics, a syllable is an important key or
formula in solving math problems. In this study,
researchers used correspondents of English language
education department students in semester one. From
the study, it can be concluded that the first semester
students could capture and understand what was
conveyed by the researchers very quickly. In fact,
they already understand but there are still many who
don't work on the syllable type part. Maybe they do
not pay attention and do not listen when the
researcher gives direction. For the rest, it is believed
that these students could understand syllable
materials because when she was explaining the
materials, they are very active and quick to answer
when researchers ask a little question. This material
is also still early or still basic, so it is still easy to
understand and understand by ordinary people
because of the limited time, sources and materials
used in this research. Then it is suggested in
developing even better with more science for further
research.
