What are the problems teachers and students face in teaching and learning pronunciation? How to find suitable methods to teach pronunciation? What should teachers to teach pronunciation effectively? How should teachers make students become interested in learning pronunciation? The answers to these questions will help language teachers improve their students’ pronunciation as well as help them make progress in effective communication For the above reasons, the author decides to carry out the study entitled: “The reality of teaching and learning pronunciation at Quynh Coi high school: problems and solutions” 1.2 Aims of the study The main purpose of this study is to discover the reality of teaching and learning pronunciation at Quynh Coi high school, especially to find out problems that teachers and students often have in pronunciation lessons The writer also hopes to make some feasible solutions that can help the English teachers overcome those problems and improve students’ pronunciation 1.3 Research questions The above aims of the study can be realized by answering the following research questions: (1) What is the present situation of teaching and learning pronunciation at QCHS? (2) Which problems the teachers and students at QCHS face in pronunciation lessons? (3) What teaching techniques can be used to improve teaching pronunciation for students at QCHS? 1.4 Scope of the study As a case study, this study focuses on the reality of teaching and learning two aspects of English pronunciation: stress and intonation for the 12 th form students at Quynh Coi high school The subjects of the study are 12 th form students those are familiar with learning pronunciation for two years at high school Moreover, stress and intonation are two major aspects of pronunciation introduced in the official textbook used by the 12th form students Other characteristics of English pronunciation would not be deeply investigated in this research 1.5 Methods of the study In order to fulfill the tasks mentioned above, both qualitative and quantitative methods are selected for this case study, involving the following instruments: survey questionnaires, classroom observations and interviews Firstly, the survey questionnaires were delivered to both teachers and students to investigate the reality of teaching and learning pronunciation at QCHS Then, some classroom observations and interviews with some English teachers have been also conducted to get supplementary information Finally, the results obtained from questionnaires, observations and interviews have been discussed and analyzed to with a hope for providing language teacher with some feasible teaching techniques to work successfully with their students 1.6 Significance of the study This study hopes to make contribution to teaching pronunciation at high school level in Vietnam and the result of the study is considered to be useful for teachers and students at school Thus, this study will be an interesting reference material for any high school language teachers in Vietnam, especially for those who are in favor of improving their students' pronunciation This research will help teachers and students identify their problems in teaching and learning pronunciation and self- improve their pronunciation 1.7 Design of the study This thesis consists of six main chapters: Chapter one is the INTRODUCTION including the rationales, the aims, the scope, the research questions, the methods, the significance and the design of the research It expresses the reason why the author decided to choose this study and the methods for the fulfillment of the study Chapter two is the LITERATURE REVIEW It starts with theoretical issues on pronunciation concepts, features of pronunciation, importance, problems, approaches, techniques and activities, as well as teachers’ roles in teaching pronunciation It also covers such factors in learning pronunciation as students’ motivation, other subjective and objective factors, and students’ roles Problems in teaching and learning pronunciation are in the last part of the LITERATURE REVIEW Chapter three is the METHODOLOGY Chapter three starts with the description of the setting and the participants It also presents how data was collected through the research methods and research procedures Chapter four is the PRESENTATION OF THE DATA, in which the outcomes of the collected data are presented A summary of the results and a general narrative description is also provided Chapter five is the ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF THE DATA In this chapter, collected data is analysed and findings is explained Chapter six is the CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This chapter shows what the author learnt from the study It also includes some recommendations for other teachers and for further study CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Pronunciation concepts The notion of pronunciation has been defined in many different ways by writers Generally speaking, pronunciation is simply defined as “the way in which a word is spoken” (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Encyclopedic, 1992) or “the way in which a word is usually pronounced” (Longman dictionary of contemporary English, 1978) In the book “Pronunciation” published in 1994, Christiane Dalton and Barbara Seidlhofer (1994:3) consider pronunciation “as the production of significant sound” They look at the word in two senses First, it is used as part of a code of a particular language That is the reason why English sounds are distinguished from sounds of other languages In this sense, pronunciation can be told as the production and reception of sounds of speech Second, sound is used to achieve meaning in contexts of use Here the code combines with other factors to make communication possible In this sense pronunciation is referred with reference to acts of speaking In the scope of this study, the concept of pronunciation can be described as “a way of speaking a word, especially a way that is accepted or generally understood” (American Heritage Dictionary, 1992) or “may be said to conclude the sounds of the language or phonology; stress and rhythm; intonation; combination sounds; linkage of sound” (Ur, 1996) 2.2 Features of pronunciation Gerald Kelly (2000) points out main features of pronunciation including phonemes and suprasegmental features, in which consonants and vowels belong to phonemes, intonation and stress are two main parts of suprasegmental Phonemes are units of sound, they are known as segments Suprasegmental features are features of speech which apply to groups of segments, or phonemes The features which are important in English are stress, intonation, and how sounds change in connected speech The following diagram shows a breakdown of the main features of pronunciation: Phoneme Consonants Unvoiced Voiced Short Long Features of pronunciation (Kelly, 2000:1) As seen from the diagram, pronunciation is a broad subject with the boundaries of various items such as consonants, vowels, stress, and intonation This study is intended to focus on two major features of pronunciation: intonation and stress are deeply investigated According to Quirk R and Greenbaun S (1973:450), stress is the prominence with one part of a word or of a longer utterance is distinguished from other parts This can be understood like this: when an English word consists of more than one syllable, one of these syllables is made to stand out more than the others This is done by saying the syllable louder For instance, in such words as “English”, “teacher”, and “student” the first syllables are stressed Intonation is an important part that most teachers have to deal with when teaching connected speech, it refers to the way the voice “goes up and down in pitch” (Kelly, 2000: 86) when we are speaking It plays a vital role in helping people express their opinions, and understanding thought of others In short, the word “pronunciation” is like a big umbrella covering various sub-items as consonants, vowels, intonations, stress, etc With such big boundaries of items, language teachers and learners have to think of how to master these key aspects, especially stress and intonation, to be successful in teaching and learning pronunciation 2.3 Teaching pronunciation 2.3.1 The importance of teaching/ learning pronunciation and a “paradox” 2.3.1.1 The importance of teaching and learning pronunciation 36 gives both teachers and students “a way of accurately recording to the pronunciations of words or utterances” (Kelly, 2000)  Drilling: According to Gerald Kelly, one of the main ways in which pronunciation is practiced in the classroom is through drilling In its most basic form, drilling simply involves the teacher saying a word or a structure, and getting class to repeat it However, the teachers when using this technique should try pronounce correctly as much as possible, and they ensure that all the students can hear what said Drilling aims to help students achieve better pronunciation of language items, and to help them remember new items The main role of teachers in drilling is that of providing a model of the word, phrase or structure for students to copy Drilling is the best done before students see the written form of the language  Listen and imitate The pronunciation of the target language is provided by the teacher or tape recorders, language labs, etc Students are to listen to a sequence of sounds or sentences and repeat it  Reading aloud/recitation Students are provided with a passage or scripts and then read aloud, focusing on stress, timing and intonation This activity is often done with texts such as poems, rhymes, song lyrics, etc The above three different techniques can be combined in the following example in purpose of introducing the three – syllable words to students Lesson type: practice Material: task sheet 37 Activities: First, teacher explains to students what they need to in this exercise And then teacher asks the students to listen to the tape and read after these words in class After that, let students individually practice reading aloud these stressed words basing on the stress indication like this (oo0o) Finally, teachers correct student’s mistakes by drilling techniques Example: Practice reading stress on more than three – syllable words) Words sentimental immortality information  Chaining This can be used for sentences which prove difficult for students to pronounce, either because they are long, or because they include difficult words and sounds The teachers’ duty in chaining is isolating certain parts of the sentence, and then modeling them separately for students to repeat, and gradually building the sentence up until it is completed The sentence can be drilled and built up from the end (back chain) or from the start (front chain) For example, in the sentence: “have you been to Paris?” teacher can use back chain to teach help get familiar with the rising tone in intonation When each part of the sentence is modeled by the teachers, the students repeat Paris? to Paris? been to Paris you been to Paris? Have you been to Paris? 38 CHAPTER SIX: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Conclusions As a matter of fact, pronunciation plays an important role in teaching and studying foreign language However, teaching and learning pronunciation does not receive the appropriate attention and the expected results Therefore, it is an essential need for teachers teaching English a foreign language to find out feasible solutions in improving the reality of teaching and learning pronunciation The analysis of the problems that teachers and students meet in teaching and learning pronunciation is very useful This study convinces the author that teaching and learning pronunciation is an ongoing process which requires all the efforts of both teachers and students Language teachers should spend more time teaching pronunciation and correcting their students’ pronunciation mistakes With the help of concerned and responsible teachers, students will have more motivation and positive attitude towards learning pronunciation, and consequently, they will be more successful in language learning and in real communicative situations Although the study has done and completed its first aims, there could not avoid some limitations Firstly, techniques used in teaching and learning pronunciation involve various ideas However, within the limited teaching experience of the author, the suggested recommendations are likely to be subjective and incomplete, leaving the issue open for debate The author hopes that the later studies could deal with the topic deeper and more effective Secondly, due to the time constraint and the limited knowledge of the writer, beside the teaching techniques, the study could not deal with all the solutions for improving teaching and learning pronunciation such as teaching time, textbooks and students’ attitude, etc These call for the later studies 6.2 Recommendations for further studies On the basis of the findings and limitations of the study, the following recommendations are made for further research: th First, the subjects of the study were 10 teachers and 55 12 -grade students at QCHS so the results would not be applied in all high schools It would be interesting to conduct a similar study on teachers and students from other schools 39 Second, this study focuses on the analysis of the problems and solutions in teaching and learning stress and intonation only More techniques for each pronunciation component such as, minimal pair drills, contextualized minimal pair and tongue twisters in teaching vowels and consonants should be studied to find out the best way to teach and learn English pronunciation Third, among techniques applied in teaching stress and intonation, the study only comment to techniques received highly recommendation from teachers and students at the survey questionnaires and the interviews Other techniques such as: visual aids, recording students’ pronunciation or practice of vowel shifts and stress shifts related by affixation should be studied to find out the best techniques in teaching and learning pronunciation Fourth, the suggested techniques are based on the results selected from the questionnaires and interviews So experiment research should be carried out to check students’ pronunciation improvement 40 REFERENCES American Heritage Dictionary (1992) New York Arthea J.S Reed and
