Contents introduction chapter I the utilizing of interactive classroom activities in teaching pronunciation

CONCLUSION
It is considered that the importance of interactive classroom activities in teaching pronunciation is very necessary for us .Because we should know pronunciation of any kind of words before speaking .Therefore develop the ability to identify and produce English key sounds as well as its basic rhythm,stress and intonation patterns in context .Increase self-confidence in the way we speak . Develop speech -monitoring abilities for use outside of the classroom .And also pronunciation is important to improve reading ability .When we read ,we say the word s ,,out loud '' in our minds.
We know that we dont speak without pronunciation .Proper pronunciation is the key to mastering the English language .
Without correct pronunciation ,the vocabulary that you know will be less effective when communicating . It can also lead to people avoiding
communication with you because they feel you are too difficult to talk to.
So,Good pronunciation is more than just mastering individual sounds.Its also understanding intonation and stress.Read poems,speeches and songs aloud ,consentrating on the word strees and intonation.
Teaching of pronunciation has witnessed remarkable changes throughout the history of language teaching and learning. As one of the most neglected aspects of English language teaching, pronunciation has gained attention only in the past half of the 20th century with the rise of Audiolingualism and the Direct Method. Throughout history, teachers and applied linguists have been concerned with the difficulty of teaching this skill. In this respect, they have attempted to develop different methods and techniques with the reliance on other sub-disciplines such as phonetics, phonology and second language acquisition among others. Taking phonetics and phonology as a framework, teachers have tried to make use of the different components of these core disciplines in order to apply them to their classrooms. In this respect, this article will endeavor to highlight the importance of phonetics and phonology in the teaching of pronunciation. Therefore, it will start by defining and contextualizing the issue of teaching pronunciation. Second, the different components of the study of phonetics and phonology will be highlighted with their relevance to the teaching of pronunciation. Following on, some practical techniques and activities, which involve the use of phonetics and phonology in the teaching of pronunciation, will be presented.it is important phonology and phonetics for good pronunciation.
For a long period of time, teachers have been concerned with finding the appropriate way of teaching the sounds of a foreign language, which are different from the native language, without using the orthographic alphabet. Among the most useful solutions that have been suggested is the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet The IPA aims to provide visually distinctive symbols for all speech sounds which are phonologically distinct in any language Trask . Since its development, different versions of the IPA have been adopted by teachers to be included in textbooks for teaching pronunciation .
In the same vein, phonetics has brought new insights to the teaching of pronunciation. Concerned with “the study of the physical properties of sounds and their place and manner of articulation in the vocal tract” Broughton .phonetics forms a tool of paramount importance that is used in the teaching of pronunciation. For instance, in any description of the English sound system, speech sounds are categorized into consonants and vowels. Following Haycraft consonants can be described depending on the movements of the mouth during the articulation (bilabial, dental, alveolar, palatal, velar) or depending on the nature of the airstream, the place and movement of the tongue, and also whether the voice is used or not (voiced, voiceless, plosive, affricate, fricative, nasal, lateral). On the other hand, vowels are described mainly in terms of the position of the tongue and lip rounding. These detailed phonetic descriptions are not arbitrary since they are of paramount importance to the teaching of pronunciation. According to Awareness of this is useful as many mistakes made by learners are due to slight differences in sound production”.
