In this video, KAZielts identifies some articulatory mistakes that candidates make when they speak.List includes the words below:clothes comfortable, vegetable, cupboard, to say, said, says, because, iron, and fashionWhy is pronunciation important?The way we speak immediately conveys somethingabout ourselves to the people around us. Learnerswith good pronunciation in English are more likely tobe understood even if they make errors in other areas,whereas learners whose pronunciation is difficult tounderstand will not be understood, even if theirgrammar is perfect! Such learners may avoid speak-ing in English, and thus experience social isolation,employment difficulties and limited opportunitiesfor further study, which may affect their settlementin Australia. We also often judge people by the waythey speak, and so learners with poor pronunciationmay be judged as incompetent, uneducated or lacking in knowledge, even though listeners are onlyreacting to their pronunciation. Yet many adultlearners find pronunciation one of the most difficultaspects of English to acquire, and need explicit helpfrom the teacher (Morley 1994; Fraser 2000). Surveysof student needs consistently show that our learnersfeel the need for pronunciation work in class (eg Willing 1989). Thus some sort of pronunciationwork in class is essential.http://kazielts.kz Подготовка к IELTS APTIS TOEFL Астана; английский язык; подготовки к IELTS носитель языка Астана
