摘要

English pronunciation is being unduly neglected or even ignored in some of our colleges anduniversities.Its role and necessity are not yet generally realized,and English phonetic courses areusually left to chance or given no place in our teaching or learning.The result is as Baker(1982,pl)states:‘advanced students find that they can improve all aspects of their proficiency in English excepttheir pronunciation,and mistakes which have been repeated for years are impossible to eradicate.’The long-term solution to this problem,I would suggest,is to have a compulsory phonetic coursebccause an active command of pronunciation will help promote the entire learning process.
