Pronunciation, sometimes become a forgotten skill in teaching and learning English. Teachers are reluctantly drilling their students’ pronunciation. It is because the English pronunciation is not regular, so both students and teachers need long time to study about it. The problem about pronunciation was also happened in the fourth semester students of English Education Study Program in STKIP PGRI Pasuruan.

Questionnaires were also given to the students to know their response about phonetic transcription exercises. The results showed that for the first cycles some students still make mistakes in pronouncing some words given although they have known the phonetic visualization, but in the second cycle, there was a significance improvement of pronunciation ability, this is due to students have got accustomed to the phonetic symbols and could apply it to their pronunciation. It can be concluded that phonetic transcription exercises could improve students’ pronunciation ability because it could show the precise visual written record of the sound itself.
