Teaching Pronunciation
Teaching
pronunciation in a high school is
very essential. Teacher
should gives certain attention
in teaching pronunciation
and decide the
area of sounds
that become the basic need for students. Native-like pronunciation is
difficult for most young learners to achieve in a foreign language.
The
achievement of it requires not only skilled teaching but also a high level of
internal motivation of the student. Most young learners are satisfied with
reasonably intelligible speech
in the second
language and this
is an acceptable
goal for the English Foreign Language teacher. The teacher should give
assistance during the regular speaking
lesson to students
who are having
difficulty with particular sounds. The
particular sounds that
students will find
it difficult will
differ for different language
backgrounds. The Objectives of Teaching
Pronunciation, here are some objectives of teaching pronunciation:
a. Ability
The pronunciation
should enable learners
to surpass the
threshold level so that
their pronunciation will
not detract from
their ability to
communicate (Celce-Murcia, et al.
1996: 8).
b. Consistency
The
pronunciation should be smooth and natural.
c. Intelligibility
The pronunciation
should be understandable to
the listeners.
d. Communicative
Efficiency
The pronunciation
should help to convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker.
Based on
the goals above,
the intelligibility is
considered the main
goal of pronunciation since the
idea of pronunciation is to enable the listeners to understand what the
speaker says. The
main goal of
pronunciation for the learners
is can be
comfortably intelligible. It
means that the
conversation between the speaker
and the listener can be comfortable. It is not the
condition where the speaker
and the listener
speak a native-like
pronunciation, but both
the speaker and the listener understand each other.
