THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING PRONUNCIATION
The
ways we speak immediately conveys something about ourselves to the people
around us. Learners with good pronunciation in English are more likely to be understood
even if they make errors in other areas, whereas learners whose pronunciation is
difficulties and limited opportunities for further study, which may affect their
settlement in Australia. We also often judge people by the way they speak, and so
learners with poor pronunciation may be judged as incompetent, uneducated or
lacking in knowledge, even though listeners are only reacting to their
pronunciation.
Yet many adult learners find pronunciation one
of the most difficult aspects of English to acquire, and need explicit help from
the teacher(Fraser: 2000).Survey of students needs consistently show that our learners
feel the need for pronunciation work in class (e.g. Wiling 1989)thus some sort
of pronunciation work in class in essential. The role of pronunciation in effective
communication and comprehensible pronunciation effective communication, alongside
its high social value and link to prestige. Comprehensible pronunciation is a common
feature among all successful language learners, and intelligible/comprehensible
pronunciation is deemed to be necessary for each and every user of the target
language . Furthermore, event if pronunciation is not desired for own sake,
many teachers believe that a certain level of pronunciation instruction is necessary
because achievements in pronunciation often helps learners to increase their
expertise in other skills.
We
know that in foreign language learning atmosphere, effective filter plays an important
role for producing correct pronunciation, learner cannot improve themselves
because of the fear of making mistake in front of the others. Although it is
regarded as an important component of foreign language teaching, it is seen
that not too much attention has been paid to this phenomenon adequately as
communication is the main goal for many foreign language learners. It is true
to state that learners should be careful about their pronunciation, pay
attention to its correct production, and try to improve their overall
pronunciation skill, in order to attain all the goals. Pronunciation involves
far more than individual sound. Word stress, sentences stress, intonation, and word
linking all influence the sound of spoken English, not to mention the way we
often slur words and phrase together in casual speech. English pronunciation involves
too many complexities for learners to strive for a complete elimination of accent,
but improving pronunciation will boost self-esteem, facilitate communication,
and possibly lead to a better language English spoken.
