1、1Problems and Strategy of Teaching English Pronunciation in Junior Middle SchoolIntroductionEnglish teaching in our country pays too much attention to the examination and paper marks. Even the professionals who have taught English for years misunderstand about the subject. Ordinary English teachers
2、in junior middle school with a heavy examination burdend(担子) on their shoulders hold that phonetic（语音的） teaching has few marks in examination and it can only help to learn, and consequently only need spare a little time and energy in learning it. This is not a good idea because pronunciation learnin
3、g is English learning itself. It has the same importance as we learn English grammar, reading comprehension in the whole process of English acquisition（获得）. It is not only to perfect and study phonetics, but also the path leading to mastering English. It is a useful weapon and with it we can fight a
4、nd overcome many difficulties in learning English. If we master and familiar with correct and natural English pronunciation, we would have a good memory of typical English sentences and new words. So it is natural and necessary for students with a correct and natural English pronunciation. Why is En
5、glish pronunciation teaching so important in English 2language teaching? There are five main reasons about it.a) The sound is the first nature of language. Language is a tool of communication. Only through vocal organs sending out voices, only depending on the sounds of the language, people finish t
6、he goal of communication with each other. In linguistics, the definition of language is “a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication”. It has two salient features: One is sound; the other is meaning. It is the base of language learning. Phonetics is an essential part of language
7、 because it gives language a definite form. Language performs its function through language sounds. Speech without sound is impossible. Letters only serve to represent spoken words in a writing form. But words pronounced or written in isolation cannot express complete thoughts. Complete thoughts can
8、 only be expressed in sentences consisting of words put together according to the grammar rules of the language and pronounced with the proper intonation. As a means of communication by words of mouth, language is used in oral speech and in being read aloud. Therefore, in order to make oneself easil
9、y understood while expressing ones own or other peoples thoughts in any language, one must be able to pronounce sentences in that language correctly. One must have a good pronunciation in order to understand other people easily when they speak or read aloud. This is proved by the well-known fact tha
10、t the better we pronounce a foreign language, the easier we understand it when we hear 3it.So a teacher of a foreign language must be able to teach the correct pronunciation of that language. A teacher untrained in phonetics is as useless as a doctor untrained in anatomy( 解剖学) . Facts show that teac
11、her must repeat the sounds many times. Without any knowledge of pronunciation and intonation, the teaching result will be unsatisfactory. So one of the principal aims of a foreign language teacher is to master both the pronunciation of the language he or she is going to teach and the method of teach
12、ing this pronunciation. To achieve this aim, he or she must have a clear idea of what a good pronunciation is, what are the difficulties in acquiring it, and how these difficulties can be overcome.b) Phonetics is the clothes of language. Acquiring the beautiful and correct sounds of one language hel
13、ps acquire the words and learn the grammar of it, and also helps improve the ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, especially speaking and listening. It helps to acquire the proper manner of exchanging thoughts and feelings effectively.c) Phonetics is the material existence 存在 of lang
14、uage. English pronunciation teaching is the beginning and first step of English teaching, especially in junior middle schools. We must have a basic ground of English learning in this period. If we ignore it, there would be much troubles and confusion in the future of learning.4d) There is a quite di
15、fference between English and Chinese. We can say that English is a kind of hearing language, and our Chinese is the language both hearing and seeing. In short. English put much emphasis 着重、强调 on sounds so we should focus on sounds to learn.e) Phonetics is also the main element of stylistics. To judg
16、e a piece of writing, sounds beauty is an important standard. If we could not put this notion in students brains, and let them know what is good or bad of the sounds in English, students were losing one of the rules to check the nature of English language. They would not have known how to distinguish a good article from a bad one. Good writings are the perfect combination of the sound and meaning.For the reasons mentioned above. We fully understand that phonetics is a sharp weapon to fight l
