I do not quite agree with this statement. Even though it is true that children learn pronunciation naturally. However, as they live in the country where English is the second language ( for some), they may mispronounce the words. Nowadays, the words such as Wednesday and pizza are incorrectly pronounced .If the children are not corrected, it may cause word fossilisation where the words may be culturally transmitted to the next generation. Therefore, they need to be taught and corrected ; the accurate strategy is highly needed so that the process teaches them to be better English speakers. Maryam - AS

I have 2 opinions about this statement. I agree that accents in English is one important aspect of the language. However, to what extent we need to know about all these accents? This is the issue we need to think about. For the second language learners, especially for the beginners, I believe it is not that suitable for them to learn all the accents because it will confuse them. Considering the facts that the first language or L1 will always interfere in the process of second language, the teacher needs to be very careful in what they are about to expose their kids to.

I disagree with this statement. Pronunciation should be taught in all second language classes. It is because pronunciation is definitely the biggest thing that people notice when a person is speaking. Eventhough the speaker's vocabulary and grammar are excellent, they still are unable to communicate efficiently and effectively because nobody would understand them just because of their bad and unclear pronunciation.

The phonological processor usually works unconsciously when we listen and speak. It is designed to extract the meaning of what is said, not to notice the speech sounds in the words. It is designed to do its job automatically in the service of efficient communication. But reading and spelling require a level of metalinguistic speech that is not natural or easily acquired.

Speakers of different languages tend to develop different muscles of the mouth for pronunciation. When we speak a foreign language, our muscles may not be well developed for that language, and we will find pronunciation more difficult. By practising the foreign language pronunciation, our muscles develop and pronunciation improves.

As well as creating correct vowel and consonant sounds using the muscles of our mouth, tongue and lips, there are other important aspects of pronunciation, including:

word stress - emphasis on certain syllables in a word

sentence stress - emphasis on certain words in a sentence

linking - joining certain words together

intonation - the rise and fall of our voice as we speak

To change the sound that we are making, we mainly use the muscles of our mouth, tongue and lips to control the shape of our mouth and the flow of air. If we can control the shape of our mouth and the flow of air correctly, then our pronunciation is clearer and other people understand us more easily.

The way we speak immediately conveys something about ourselves to the people around us. Learners with good pronunciation in English are more likely to be understood even if they make errors in other areas, whereas learners whose pronunciation is difficult to understand will not be understood, even if their grammar is perfect! Such learners may avoid speaking in English, and thus experience social isolation, employment difficulties and limited opportunities for further study, which may affect their settlement in Australia. We also often judge people by the way they speak, and so learners with poor pronunciation may be judged as incompetent, uneducated or lacking in knowledge, even though listeners are only reacting to their pronunciation. A broad definition of pronunciation includes both suprasegmental and segmental features. Although these different aspects of pronunciation are treated in isolation here, it is important to remember that they all work in combination when we speak, and are therefore usually best learned as an integral part of spoken language. The theory outlined below is essential for teachers so that they understand how these different aspects work, but learners do not necessarily need to cover the theory in depth. It is the practice that concerns them most! Traditional approaches to pronunciation have often focused on segmental aspects, largely because these relate in some way to letters in writing, and are therefore the easiest to notice and work on. More recent approaches to pronunciation, however, have suggested that the suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation may have the most effect on intelligibility for some speakers. Usually learners benefit from attention to both aspects, and some learners may need help in some areas more than in others. This overview starts with suprasegmental features. One considerable practical advantage of focusing on suprasegmentals is that learners from mixed L1 backgrounds in the same class will benefit, and will often find that their segmental difficulties improve at the same time.

This proves that pupils should be taught to speak with correct pronunciation. If not, they will continue talk with wrong pronunciation. They will think as long as they get the respond that they want when they talk to others, nothing wrong with their speaking and no need to change the way they pronounce any words.

I agree with that since they always learn to acquire the language. But there's still some words they need to be taught especially for second language as the second language is not their mother tongue.

Not only they learn it naturally, but they also learn it unconsciously. They are also self motivated to acquire the language. They learn through play-liked activities which means from here, they pick up the language.

Yes, I agree with this. Children are "natural language acquirer" They pick up language easily, rapidly and without effort through natural interaction with friends and family in everday setting as compared to adult.

As for learners at the primary school, I personally don't think that they need to learn this kind of symbols for their English. This is because, at their age, they learn a lot more by listening and copying the elders. This including their teachers, parents, friends and of course their communities. They also learn their pronunciations indirectly when they are watching movies and programs and also listening to the radios.

As for adult learners, it is good for us to know the phonemic symbols, as they will help us to pronounce words correctly and use it to teach our children and students. Moreover, in this technological words, the information is at our fingertips, just type it and find it on the website to learn the correct pronunciation and help us improve our English.

It is true in aspect that our student don't have to look at the symbols just to make sure their pronunciations are correct. Because young learners often learn to pronounce by listen to their teachers, parent, friends and all the people around them.

But for us the teachers, of course it is important because it is one of many way we can learn the pronunciation correctly and use it to teach the students in the class.

I agree because most people speak the dialect of Standard English with an accent that belongs to the part of the country they come or live in.
