The document discusses teaching phonics to pupils in primary schools. It describes teaching sound-spelling relationships by having pupils learn graphemes like "ch" and vowel combinations like "ay". When pupils are taught these graphemes, they can sound out and spell unfamiliar words using letter-sound knowledge. The document also describes a study where pupils received synthetic phonics instruction for three months. They showed improved ability to recognize spellings of unfamiliar words and sound out words from their spellings based on pre- and post-tests.
Most English teachers make students study grammar and vocabulary, practise functional dialogues but they make little attempt to teach pronunciation in any overt way. They may feel they have too much to do and they may claim that without a formal pronunciation syllabus and without specific pronunciation teaching, many students seem to acquire pronunciation in the course of their studies. Pronunciation teaching not only makes students aware of different sounds and sound features, but can also improve their speaking. Pronunciation allows students to get over serious intelligibility problems. The question of what aim to achieve may arise in connection with teaching pronunciation. Many students do not want to sound like native speakers, they wish to be speakers of English as an international language and it does not imply trying to sound exactly like someone from Britain or Canada. (Harmer 2003: 184). It has become customary for English teachers to consider intelligibility as the prime goal of pronunciation teaching. It means that students should be able to use pronunciation which is good enough for them to be understood. If their pronunciation is not up to this standard, there is a serious danger that they will fail to communicate effectively. So the aim of teaching pronunciation is to require our students to work towards an intelligible pronunciation rather than achieve a native-speaker quality.
