DEFINITION OF PRONUNCIATION
Pronunciation
refer to the production of sounds that we use to make meaning. It includes attention
to the particular sounds of a language (segmental aspects of speech beyond the level
of individual sounds, such as intonation, phrasing, stress, timing, rhythm (supra
segmental aspects) how the voice is projected (voice quality) and, in its broadest
definition, attention to gestures and expressions that are closely related to
the way we speak a language. pronunciation is defined as a necessary part of speaking (oral communication)
involving three important items such as making correct sounds of a particular
language, knowing how the sounds are put together it the flow of speech (not
just in isolated words), and understanding how to stress words correctly and how
to use intonation appropriately.
According to jack C. Richard (2012) pronunciation
is the sound of the language, or phonology, stress, rhythm, intonation and includes
the role of individual sound segmental and
supra segmental sound. pronunciation is a way that is accepted or generally understood.
We can conclude that pronunciation is the way of someone produce segmental and supra
segmental sound that is accepted or generally understood.
Pronunciation
is a field in second language acquisition (SLA) which is studied less than the
others due to its nature that is more
difficult to conduct researchers and many different variables interfere with
its process such as gender, motivation, field, dependence/independence, etc.(Asher&Garcia,1969).
Apart from the inexistence of some particular sound in some languages, the age of
learners also has a great influences on pronouncing the sounds accurately. In this
respect, the age is the most important predictors in acquiring a foreign language
accent.The reason for this case can also be explained through CPH. According to
CPH(lennerberg,2002) learners have the disadvantages of starting to learn a language
at late ages especially after puberty for the first language. As many of the English
language teaching at schools do not cover the course of phonetics appropriately,
a great number of the teachers may not feel themselves confident with their own
pronunciation levels. Therefore, they either prefer not to teach pronunciation or
are unable to integrate it into the course properly, which automatically
affects the attitudes of learners towards learning it.
Pronunciation
is one of the controversial topics in the field of English language teaching as
a seconds or foreign language. Pronunciation is a field in second languages
acquisition which is studied less than the other due to its nature that is more
difficult to conduct researches and many variables. Pronunciation refers to the
production of sounds of a language (segments), aspects of speech beyond the level
of the individual sounds, such as intonation, stress, rhythm, pitch, speed.
(Supra segmental aspects), how the voice is projected (voice quality) and, in its
broadest definition, attention to gestures and expressions that are closely related
to the way we speak a language. Each of these aspects of pronunciation is briefly
outlined below, and references for further study are suggested.
Pronunciation is a broad term used to describe
a number or aspects of pronouncing the appropriate sounds in the language
targeted. Most people think it refers to only the separate, identifiable sounds
of word, but it covers more than just then. As well as the sounds there are
also the sentences tunes, and the use of pitch and loudness to indicate
importance or strong feeling. Pronunciation refers to the way a word or a
language is usually spoken and the manner in which someone utters a word. A word
can be spoken in different ways by various individuals or groups, depending on
many factors, such as:
1.
The area in which they grew up
2.
The area in which they now live
3.
Their ethnic group
4.
Their social class
5.
Their education.
