One of the basic skills in English is Speaking. In speaking, students have to know the pronunciation of the word. For some students, pronouncing words can be problematic. Morph can help the students to do the correct pronunciation because, with morph, the students can learn pronunciation through phonetic symbols. With tongue twister, learning morph can be interesting. This research method was action research where the researcher conducted a test on the participants. The researcher did this research In English Department Study Program at Private University in Cimahi. The participants of this research were students in the 5th semester.
