Abstract

This study analyzes the patterns and contributing factors of Korean palatalization pronunciation errors among instructors at Job Training Centers (Lembaga Pelatihan Kerja or LPK) in Indonesia. Korean palatalization occurs across three distinct phonological environments: (1) ‘ㄷ’ [d] + ‘ㅣ’ [i], (2) ‘ㅌ’ [th] + ‘ㅣ’ [i], dan (3) ‘ㄷ’ [d] + ‘히’ [hi].. Utilizing a descriptive-qualitative approach, pronunciation data were gathered through text-reading recordings from 14 respondents (totaling 252 pronunciations) and analyzed using Korean phonological theory (Gu, 2015) and Richards (1994)  error analysis framework. The results reveal a high overall error rate of 41.3%. The ‘ㄷ’ [d] + ‘히’ [hi] environment accounted for the highest error rate due to its multi-step phonological processes, which triggered a failure to fully apply the required rules. Factors influencing these errors include: (1) intralingual factors, namely overgeneralization, ignorance of rule restrictions, and incomplete application of rules; and (2) external factors, such as duration of study, location of learning, and active language use intensity. These findings underscore the critical importance of explicitly teaching multi-step phonological rules to Korean language instructors.
