Why teaching pronunciation?

A consideration of learners pronunciation errors
and of how these can inhibit successful
communication is a useful basis on which to
assess why it is important to deal with
pronuncition int he classsroom.
For example :
Soap in a situation such as a restaurant where
they should have said soup, the unaccurate
production of a phoneme can lead to
misunderstanding.

Some children might start with English earlier. Some

elementary schools introduce English teaching in the
first or second year (when the children are 6 or 7 years
old) and still some children might have started in the
preschool age, i.e. in the kindergarten. But
nevertheless the majority of children will start in the
3rd grade as teaching a foreign language is
compulsory from this age.

 Teacher of pronunciation need :

A good grounding in theoretical knowledge
Practical classroom skills
Access to good ideas for classroom activities
(Kelly, 2000:13)

pronunciation of the L2 learners. That is:
the first language interference by interference of
mother language,

prior pronunciation instruction, and
the insufficient language knowledge of English
phonology and phonetics.
