ronunciation is a critical component of mastering the English language, influencing both comprehension and communication. English pronunciation presents unique challenges due to its complex phonetic system, which includes multiple sounds for each vowel, more sounds than letters, and the presence of diphthongs and triphthongs. Additionally, the articulation of English sounds often requires specific tongue placements, and some sounds are represented by combinations of letters. This article explores these distinctive features and emphasizes the significance of proper pronunciation in English language teaching. It also discusses strategies for overcoming common challenges in teaching English pronunciation.
