Helping students to improve their pronunciation is very important. There really is very little point in students learning a new word, learning what it means and how to use it in a sentence, if no one understands them
when they say it because their pronunciation is very poor.
A learner’s pronunciation should be intelligible and unambiguous; good enough to
satisfy his/her goals and good enough to satisfy examination goals.
Students may have difficulties with either aspect of phonology for a variety of reasons, for example, sounds, word stress, sentence
stress and intonation.
We need to focus on aspects of pronunciation when introducing new language; when
correcting errors; through specific awareness-raising activities and when
clarifying what a student has said.
