The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the types of errors by Korean college students in pronouncing English fricatives. The results of the tests are as follows: In production test, the highest 78.33% errors came out for /θ-ð/, followed by 50.42% for /f-v/, 34.58% for /s-z/ and 23.4% for /ʃ-s/. The minimal pair with the /θ-ð/ came out with the highest error rate. Especially, Korean college students mainly chose /s/ rather than /t/ or /d/ for English /θ/ and /ð/. This result shows that within the phonological structure of Korean the difference between a sibilant such as /s/ and a fricative such as /θ/ has less phonemic "force" than the difference between a stop and a fricative
