A Literature Review on Strategies for Teaching Pronunciation
Wei, Michael
Online Submission
English pronunciation is still neglected in EFL/ESL classrooms throughout the world including Asia today. One of the reasons that it is neglected or ignored is because not many English pronunciation teaching strategies or techniques are available to teachers in the classroom. The purpose of this study is to review articles on strategies for teaching pronunciation from different sources, so public school teachers and ESOL instructors at higher education institution can make use of the strategies reviewed here. In this article, I will first state the problem of the study and a theoretical framework into which the problem fits. Then, I will review articles from different sources on what contents should be included in a pronunciation instruction class and specific strategies or techniques on how to teach these components including intonation, stress (word stress and sentence stress) and rhythm, consonants (phonemes) and vowels (phonemes). Interpretation of the results and a conclusion are provided at the end of the article.
