As a fundamental skill that young people must master in this globalization era, the ability to speak English fluently is a requirement that must be met from an early age. Linguists consider the International Phonetic Alphabet to be a reasonable solution for students learning pronunciation autonomously. The Junior High School level is thought to be the best time to study IPA. The author then conducted a qualitative case study research to answer questions about how Junior High School students describe the use of IPA in pronunciation learning. This study was conducted in an extracurricular called NECC at SMP Nurul Islami, a Junior High School in Semarang, with 13 students from two different classes as participants. Questionnaire and interviews are used to collect data for this study. Although learning about IPA was initially aimed at university students, the findings revealed that learning about IPA was easy for most Junior High School students and they could follow the lesson well, though some did not. Some symbols, such as /dʒ/, /ð/, /æ/, and /ɔː/, are unfamiliar to them, making it difficult for these Junior High Students to recognize and read the symbols. Nonetheless, these students are satisfied with the learning they have received because they like to learn something new and find IPA learning fun and can improve their English language skills. Another reason given by Junior High School students is that they know how to correctly look up the pronunciation of a word in English so that in the future they will use IPA in the dictionary to pronounce a difficult word. The students suggested that in the future, IPA learning could be delivered in a more exciting, fun, and comfortable manner, such as by providing examples with more familiar and simple words and by using group games. These students strongly recommend that other Junior High School students learn pronunciation using IPA, regardless of whether other students find it difficult or not. In conclusion, Junior High School students clearly have a positive perception toward learning pronunciation using the IPA. So, implementing IPA learning in Junior High School classes is not impossible.
