Abstract

This research was motivated by a lack of attention to teaching Japanese pronunciation in Indonesia, resulting in learners' soft Japanese pronunciation skills. This issue affected not only oral communication but also written communication. A concrete example is most visible when Japanese learners in Indonesia often ignore long sounds and double sounds in Japanese. This study will examine four VASM methods. Each is often applied to improve Japanese pronunciation. The four methods include Verbo Tonal, Audio Lingual, Shadowing, and Minimal Pair. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the VASM model in mastering Japanese pronunciation. The sample in this study was 17 students of the Department of Japanese Language Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. This study used a quasi-experimental method in which the sample was given seven treatments. The data collection technique uses a discourse reading test in which there are Japanese pronunciation sounds that the researcher wants to examine. The tests helped to determine the change that occurred before and after treatment using the VASM model.
