2. Pronunciation is the way words are spoken, allowing individuals to gain self-confidence and accurately convey messages. It involves the reproduction of language sounds, including intonation, syllable, phrasing, stress, timing, rhythm, voice quality, and gestures. Pronunciation is an integral part of spoken language, involving both suprasegmental and segmental features. It is acquired through repetition and correction, and learning to pronounce a second language requires building new pronunciation habits and overcoming the bias of the first language by (Prashant, 2018). The researcher use short stories because it was an interesting material that can help students find the key to remembering and mastering many new vocabularies. In addition, students will easily write the correct words. This wa s because all the words are in short stories. Erkaya (2005) said that if you choose the right short stories and provide high-quality texts, it will increase students' ELT courses. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Scope and Limitation

6. Syarif et al., (2018) investigates how western cinema media might help pupils improve their pronunciation skills. This study seeks to determine how Western Movie Media improves pupils' pronunciation. This research employs Class Action Research (CAR). This research focuses on the four semesters of English Education at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. There were 30 pupils, including 10 males and 20 females. Data gathering devices included an observation sheet on teacher and student activity, as well as a pronunciation exam. The action research was carried out over three cycles. The first cycle added 16 students to 75, the second cycle increased 18 students, and the third cycle boosted 28 students. Previous Studies

7. The researcher will apply the classroom action research (CAR) method. The use of CAR is aimed to solve students’ pronunciation of English at the tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri Taekas . Yoni (2010) states that classroom action research is how a group of teachers can control learning conditions from their experiences, and get the desired results from the action. Kemmis & McTaggart (1982) developed a concept for action research. They proposed a spiral model comprising four steps: planning, action, observation and reflection. METHOD OF RESEARCH

8. The population in this study were class X MIPA students of SMA Negeri Taekas . The population consisted of 3 classes, namely X MIPA 1,2 and 3. The total population is 87 students. The sample of this study was the students of SMA Negeri Taekas exactly in X MIPA 2 which consist of 25 students . The test that researchers used in this research was fill in the blank in the short story by analyzing the three items studied, namely: vowels, consonants, and dipthongs to compare student pronunciation with videos that researchers prepared on YouTube.

14. Discussion In the study conducted with tenth-class students of SMA Negeri Taekas , significant improvements in pronunciation were observed. Before the implementation of YouTube-based learning, many students struggled with specific phonemes, stress, and intonation patterns. However, after consistent exposure to English short stories on YouTube, their pronunciation improved markedly. This aligns with findings from Seferoglu (2005), who stated that "Regular exposure to authentic listening materials contributes positively to pronunciation accuracy." The study highlights the effectiveness of using YouTube as a supplementary tool for pronunciation improvement.

15. Based on the findings, the use of the English short story listening technique has been shown to effectively improve the pronunciation of students at SMA Negeri Taekas . The results indicate a significant increase in students' pronunciation scores after implementing this technique, demonstrating its positive impact on their ability to articulate vowels, consonants, and diphthongs more accurately. This improvement suggests that listening to short stories in English provides students with authentic pronunciation models, helping them internalize correct sounds and rhythms, ultimately enhancing their overall pronunciation proficiency. CONCLUSION

16. Based on the result of the data analysis and conclusion, the writer would like to gave some suggestion to be considered by the English teacher as follow: Regularly listen to English short stories on YouTube to improve pronunciation, focusing on aspects such as intonation, stress, and articulation, Practice shadowing techniques by repeating after native speakers to enhance pronunciation accuracy. Use subtitles initially to aid comprehension, then gradually listen without them to improve listening and pronunciation skills. Incorporate English short stories from YouTube into classroom activities to expose students to authentic pronunciation models, Encourage students to engage in active listening exercises, such as dictation, repetition, and phonetic transcription, Select age-appropriate and level-appropriate YouTube content to maximize learning effectiveness. Investigate the long-term effects of using YouTube short stories on pronunciation improvement, Compare the effectiveness of YouTube-based pronunciation learning with other digital learning methods, Explore how different types of English accents on YouTube influence learners’ pronunciation development.
