ABSTRACT
This study attempts to find out the phonological problems of Edem Secondary School students in the English language. In achieving this goal, 61 students out of a total of 242 students were sampled using descriptive survey design, because it is aimed at collecting data on features and facts about a given population and describing it in a systematic manner.
A self-made competence test (Phonological reading passage) was used as instrument for data collection.
The findings reveal that Edem students have phonological problem of using /t/ sound for /
/ sound, /d / sound in place of /
ð/ sound and /n/ sound for /l / sound. Hence London is pronounced Nondon. In Edem dialect of Igbo it has been discovered that both /l/ and /n/ are found in their dialect but they cannot make the distinction between the two.
Again, they insert vowel sounds in between consonants, and each word with consonant ending they put a final vowel.
Finally, the irregularity in English pronunciation affects Edem students greatly.
