Tahap Ketepatan Sebutan Konsonan Arab Sukar oleh Murid Prasekolah dalam Pembacaan Al-Quran

This study aimed to identify the pronunciation of Arabic consonants in difficult categories by preschool students and analyze the forms of errors made. This study is a qualitative study that uses the method of audio recording of readings and review of pronunciation accuracy by experts in the field to obtain the required data. The results showed that there were various pronunciation errors from the aspect of articulation points and the qualities of the letters. Ten Arabic consonants have changed to other consonant in terms of articulation with different frequencies. Consonant sounds in the students’ mother tongue are more dominant in their pronunciation triggering the errors. Therefore, efforts to train students in the correct pronunciation of Arabic consonants are necessary to produce correct consonant pronunciation.
