Abstract
Siti Masfufah: The /v/ Production of the English Education Department Students of Syekh Nurjati State Institute for Islamic Studies English is one of international languages. It is used in any kinds of business. Speaking English is different from Indonesian. English has several phonemes that do not exist in Indonesian. One of them is /v/. /v/ is a phoneme that is investigated in this study. In English, the letter v is pronounced /v/. Yet, in Indonesian, the letter v is pronounced /f/ or /p/ by most Indonesian speakers. Thus, the reason of investigating this study is because of the existence of letter v and the inexistence of /v/ in Indonesian.

The writer interviewed the participants and observed their /v/ production by reading a paragraph that contains fifty-one /v/ phonemes. The result of the study shows that the participants have problems with producing /v/. The participants substitute /v/ with /f/. Their quality of producing the phoneme is fair, neither good nor bad. It is proven by their percentage of /v/ production that shows 55% correct /v/ production. The factors that influence their quality of producing the phoneme are the familiarity of the phoneme and the strength of desire to produce the phoneme correctly. A note of this study is the finding of /v/ in word of that is the hardest word to pronounce correctly.
