The objective of the research is to identify the points which the English diphthongs are articulated by students and the most dominance English diphthongs articulated by the student. The data are the linguistic elements in the form of sounds taken from their pronunciation recorded from the students of SEGA (Saturday English Gathering). They pronounce the words that contain English diphthong in 3 positions; front, middle, and back.

The result of the data analysis shows that the students realization of English diphthong can be identified into the diphthong [əʊ], [ai], [ɔi], [ei], [ʊə], [εə], [iə], [ɔə,] [aʊ]. the diphthong that shifts produced by students are from [ei], into [æ, ai, I, ə], from [ai] into [ei], [i], from [əʊ] into [ɔ, ɔə, o, ou, ʊ], from [iə] into [I, ei, ai, e], from [εə] into [ai] [ə], [e], [a], [I], [ei], [ʌ] from [ʊə] into [ʊ], [u], [ua] from [aʊ] into [o], [ou] from [ɔə] into [o], [ɔ:], [ɔ] and for diphthong [ɔi] there is no students who produce it correctly. The most dominant diphthong shifted by students are diphthong [εə] in all position and diphthong [εə] shift into [ai] [ə], [e], [a], [I], [ei], [ʌ]. Diphthong [ʊə] in front position as in “urine” [`ʊərin], “Europe” [`ʊərəp], “Urea” [`ʊəiə], almost the student pronounce diphthong [ʊə] incorrectly in front position. And the most correct diphthong produced by the student is diphthong [ɔi]. The shifted diphthong made by the student influenced by their region, their mother tongue, and their own English knowledge.
