is affirmed to be as vital as other fields of language such as grammar and vocabulary However, the teaching and learning pronunciation situation at Kim Thanh High School, Hai Duong is somehow troublesome This minor thesis aims at identifying the most common mistakes when producing English affricative and fricative sounds by the 10th grade students at Kim Thanh High School, as well as investigating the main causes of these mistakes and the possible pedagogical solutions to assist them correct their mistakes This study is to investigate practices and challenges of teaching pronunciation by two survey questionnaires, one for 200 eleventh- form students and the other for teachers teaching English for grades 10 Class observation and informal interview are also carried out to elicit hidden reasons behind participants‟ answers in the questionnaires and to help the researcher draw a vivid picture of a pronunciation lesson as well From the results inferred in the analysis, the study suggests some feasible techniques and activities to make pronunciation teaching and learning English fricative and affricative sounds more effective iii TIEU LUAN MOI download :

hai.duong.in.the.pronunciation.of.english.fricative.and.affricative.consonants.and.some.possible.pedagogical.solutions mistakes in producing fricative and affricative sounds are likely to be subjective and incomplete In addition, regarding the sounds recorded, there may be some unavoidable factors such as anxiety or atmospherics Moreover, the researcher did not have time to conduct the interview to have more and deeper information about their difficulties that caused their mistakes Suggestions for further studies Based on the results and limitations of the study, further researches can be conducted as the following recommendations: According to the findings, the students often have a thought of learning pronunciation that is really important and the issue put by most teachers is how to integrate teaching pronunciation with other English skills in a more interesting and effective way so that students‟ pronunciation can be improved It is definitely worth exploring, how Vietnamese students see the way they are taught at high schools and how they feel about their abilities to pronounce a foreign language To get a good pronunciation, the learners also should pay attention to not only English sounds but also other factors of phonetics such as stress, intonation, rhythm or common phonological processes such as assimilation, linking, and elision In addition, it is hoped that further researches would be conducted in verify the practical effect of some proposed solutions given 48 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com
