Question

Which of the following pronunciation teaching techniques is unlikely to be effective? Select one:

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Giving students lot of practice.

Explanation:

Pronunciation is a crucial element of linguistic teaching which involves a variety of lessons beginning with the encouragement to use the phonemic chart. This phonemic chart would impart the basic knowledge of the sound structure of the knowledge. After this, the teacher targets a word and asks the students to imitate which would assist them in knowing the correct pronunciation of the word. Covering pronunciation in isolation would enlace them to distinguish between the two distinct or similar sounds. All these are the most effective techniques to teach pronunciation except giving students a lot of practice as too much of practice may lead to confusion.
