dc.description.abstractThis thesis entitle Influence of First Language in English Pronunciation in Tharu learners was an attempt to identify the interference of Tharu language on the pronunciation of English words to Tharu learners. I collected the data using both primary and secondary sources. The sample population of the study consisted of 40 students of class ten. I took a test consisting of 70 different types of words to collected primary data. I used the simple random sampling procedure for sample the population. After the analysis of the data, I found that there were positive as well as negative interference of Tharu language in learning in English language. Tharu language sound such as /p/, /t/, /k/, /b/, /d/, /g/, /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /ʧ/, /s/, /r/, /j/, /w/, facilitated to the acquisition of second language sound. Maximum students felt difficulty in pronouncing labio dental sounds /f/ as well as /v/ and dental sounds /θ/ and /ð/, because there are not labio dental and dental sounds in Tharu language. That’s why there is negative impact on acquisition of second language sound in dental and labio dental sound. All students pronounced sound /ʃ/ as /s/ and voiced sound /h/ as voiceless. Sound /z/ is pronounced in different ways as /z/, /ʤ/, /ʒ/ because of lack of exposure. And maximum students pronounced rhotic sound /r/ after vowel. According to GA (General American), it is accepted but the text items were analyzed and explained based on British Dictionary. This thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter one deals with introduction. It consists of background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition key terms. Chapter two deals with review of the theoretical literature, introduction to Tharu language and their community, review of empirical literature, implication of the literature and conceptual framework. Chapter three deals the design and methods of the study population, sample and sampling strategies, source of data, data collection procedures data analysis and interpretation procedures and ethical considerations. Chapter four deal with analysis of data and interpretation of the result and summary of findings. The last chapter deals conclusion, recommendations, references and appendices.en_US
