steps: transcribing the students‟ pronunciation into the phonetic transcriptions, grouping the students‟

errors in pronouncing English diphthongs into separate divisions, employing the percentage descriptive

analysis to count all error and interpreting the result of the data analysis. The result of the analysis showed

diphthong and 73 % on closing diphthong. There werethree dominant errors on English diphthongs : [ʊə],

[əʊ], and [eɪ]. The factors causing students errors are students‟ mother tongue and word orthographic

writing form.
