I have been teaching my students the English pronunciation for quite sometimes but didn’t try to explain about the Phonemes. What I usually do is only to let the students listen to the proper pronunciation of the words, especially the hard one and let them say it afterward. I thought lots of listening and speaking is the only way that would eventually develop their pronunciation skills. But, after reading the lesson in this unit, I discovered that teaching Phonemes could help the students easily differentiate the sounds of the letter that could guide them to speak in the proper pronunciation to be understood on what they are saying and could also develop their listening skills to able to understand what somebody is saying. Also, I have noticed that using diagrams as it is shown in this lesson and writing the equivalent symbols of the sounds of the letters in a word would be a great idea that I could use to teach how to produce the sounds of the letters with proper articulation. By doing this, I think the students would be able to learn the right pronunciation in English easier and maybe faster next time because they can compare the words when listening and even in reading using the symbols. Therefore, I would be preparing myself to be ready how to use the diagrams and phonemes in my lesson to improve their pronunciation skills.
