The concept of linguistic interference in the teaching of English pronunciation

Abstract

Teaching pronunciation correctly is one of the most important aspects of teaching a foreign language. Since the phonetic portion of the new language system is learned and the auditory-pronunciation abilities are created during this time, teaching pronunciation in the beginning stages is particularly difficult. At this point, the teacher may need to help the students get past some obstacles. These issues may result in a number of infractions that affect how a foreign language is perceived and pronounced. In this sense, mastering pronunciation will be more successful thanks to linguistic theory and a structural issue with overcoming interference. This article discusses the results of using both theoretical and practical approaches to remove the linguistic process's detrimental influence on English pronunciation instruction, as well as how to implement them in the classroom.
