Teachers' perspectives and Practices in Teaching English Pronunciation at Menglish Center
Journal Title: International Journal of TESOL & Education - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The unintelligibility of Vietnamese learners' English pronunciation has caused hindrances to their academic and career goals. Due to a lack of pronunciation-oriented lessons in the curriculum of junior, senior high schools, and even tertiary schools, teachers at English centers are supposed to provide their students with pronunciation training. This study aims to find out how English pronunciation is taught at an English center and accordingly what teachers think about their pronunciation teaching in terms of the role and goal of pronunciation, time allocation, and techniques. Data were collected from individual interviews with three teachers at MEnglish center and six classroom observations at the level of Foundation (IELTS band score 1.0 – 3.0) and Ground floor (IELTS band score 3.0-4.0). Findings from this study indicate the necessity of time contribution, corrective feedback and affirm the essential role of authentic materials.
