ABSTRACT Kartini. (2019). A Cross-Sectional Study on Students’ Ability in Identifying and Discriminating English Fricative Sounds. (Supervised by Haryanto Atmowardoyo and Kisman Salija). The objectives of this research were to know the students’ ability in identifying and discriminating English fricative sounds of labiodental /f/ and /v/ and interdental /θ/ and /ð/ in initial, medial and final position of the word. This research was design as quantitative descriptive and cross-sectional. In identification test, the mean score of fifth semester students test was 6.8, descrimination test (AX) the mean score was 39.15, and 3 AFC discrimination test (ABX) was 9. While in seventh semester students, the mean score in identification test was 12.8, descrimination test (AX) was 42.3, and 3 AFC discrimination test (ABX) was 10.39. The result showed that among three tests, students did many mistakes in identification test, yet among the 24 sounds in this test, the sound (ð) in the medial position of the word “mother” was the most correct word perceived by the students. In discrimination test and 3 AFC discrimination test showed that students did well in this test although in 3 AFC discrimination test, there were only a few students could discriminate the sounds of the word “bath, bad, and bath”. Students are poor in identifying sounds than discriminating sounds. They were able to discriminate two or three words which have the similarity than identify them.
