Pronunciation is probably the most neglected aspect
of English language teaching. Confidence is often
lacking in foreign teachers to teach it methodically,
and English teachers sometimes also lack the training
and confidence to tackle this area. Applied phonetics
is rarely taught at school or even university and it
seems an alien, abstract subject to the adult trainee
teacher. Then there is the fact that many native English
speakers find it difficult to hear certain features, such
as the fall or rise of speech, particularly at the end of
sentences. The reaction to this is often: “Well, I am an
educated English person and if I cannot detect things
like that, the foreign student will not be able to either.
So what does it matter anyway?”
