TEACHING ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION TO YOUNGER
LEARNERS
Abstract:
pronunciation is
amongst the most important
components of communication, as evidenced by the current surge in
a study into pronunciation instruction. The presence of difficulties in
teaching pronunciation in EFL leads to the search for a variety of
ways, methods and techniques that activate pronunciation skills. The
article discusses modern approaches to teaching pronunciation with a
focus on intelligible pronunciation, spelling, phonics, suprasegmental
units of English speech. The use of effective methods in teaching
allows acquiring the skills of correct pronunciation of learners since
it is based on tasks that form positive motivation to communicate in a
foreign language
Keywords:
intelligible pronunciation, spelling, phonics,
sound, ESL learning.
Introduction.
Intelligible pronunciation is a crucial component in improving
communicative ability and it is one of
the essential components of
oral communication. English proficiency becomes one of the most
advanced techniques to learn, and students should devote a
significant amount of time to practicing it. Actually,
students
learning a second language frequently face the influence of their first
language as well as the difficulty of understanding a native speaker's
utterance. This is due to a simple lack of correspondence between the
spelling and pronunciation systems. It is critical to propose a new
methodological framework within Cognitive Phonology that can aid
in the presentation of a new approach to teaching learners to
pronounce sounds and understand word meanings [1].

It’s obvious to think that everyone should be aware that a
native-like way of pronunciation may be a desirable objective for
some but not all learners. For
the vast majority of students,
intelligence is a logical goal. They like to keep their foreign accent
because it is a part of who they are. For most learners, achieving
native-like pronunciation may be an unattainable objective. Tabula et
al. mention that one of the primary goals of language learners should
be to achieve understandable speech [2].
In order to improve
communicative competency, pronunciation education should
emphasize some realistic goals.
Knowing how to pronounce words entails understanding
phonological forms and general conditions on phonological-phonetic
structure, the ability to perceive pronunciations differently, and the
ability to form new phonetic plans
from lexical structure to
morphological operations. It is general knowledge that a single
sentence can be delivered in a variety of ways by a single speaker.
The problem of the importance of proper pronouncing English
words is rising nowadays. Therefore, the main objectives of the
present article are to give the reasons why intelligible pronunciation
is important and to give some methods
how to introduce teaching
pronunciation through activities in the foreign language classroom.
