Teaching Foreign Languages in Specific Purposes

Abstract

It is impossible to master a language without mastering its sound structure and without observing its typical pronunciation norms. Pronunciation in the narrow sense of the word usually refers to the peculiarities of articulation of speech sounds in each specific language. Understanding pronunciation in the broad sense of the word also includes intonation and rhythm. Correct pronunciation means a set of orthoepic norms inherent in a particular variety of language. Establishing the pronunciation of a foreign language is a complex task that requires the teacher to know not only the phonetic system of the language being taught, but also the native language, since their comparison makes it possible to predict typical mistakes of foreign language learners and most effectively overcome difficulties that arise during the learning process
