EFFECTIVE STRATAGIES FOR TEACHING ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION TO UZBEK LEARNES
Keywords:
The study emphasizes the importance of incorporating both traditional and modern teaching methods to enhance pronunciation learning. Traditional methods, such as phonetic drills, repetition exercises, and minimal pair practices, provide learners with the opportunity to focus on individual sounds and their correct articulation.Abstract
Teaching English pronunciation to non-native speakers is a crucial component of
language learning, as accurate pronunciation significantly affects communication and
comprehension. Uzbek learners often face specific challenges in acquiring English
pronunciation due to differences between the phonetic systems of Uzbek and English.
These challenges include difficulties in producing certain consonant clusters,
distinguishing between vowel sounds that do not exist in Uzbek, and mastering word
stress and intonation patterns. This paper explores effective strategies that English
language teachers can employ to address these challenges and improve learners’
pronunciation skills.
