present study was intended to check the effectiveness of articulatory phonetic instructions on improving the English consonant pronunciation of 10 adult learners at the level of elementary of an “Step Up” English center Initially, an entry test was carried out to investigate the remarkable errors made by the subjects regarding consonant sounds Then, they received the conventional classroom instructions on pronunciation skills which were based on articulatory phonetics During the course, the subjects were examined times in total to see the studying progress After weeks, a final test was implemented to evaluate the participants‟ pronunciation after receiving the instructions Since this study focused on the pronunciation, all the tests were in the form of oral test which requires audiorecording as a crucial instrument to collect the data Apart from that, observation was another tool to obtain the data as the subjects practiced with their partners The findings from the research revealed that articulatory phonetics did have positive effects on the English consonant pronunciation of elementary adult learners at Step Up, however, there still existed some limitations which were hardly avoidable Suggestions were also given with the hope that the next researcher could overcome the limited issues to conduct a more successful research iii TIEU LUAN MOI download :
