G roups of English phonemes
vowels (long and short) consonants,
double vowels, or diphthongs, which have their positional
which are strange to Ukrainian-speaking pupils variants
***********
The general regularities of the English pronunciation:
no palatalization of consonants;
no devoicing of voiced consonants in the final position or before the voiceless consonants: eyes-ice, back-bag
observing short and long vowels:e.g. sheep or ship
making two stresses in a long word.
By Pronunciation habits we mean habits of phonetically correct pronunciation in speech of all the sounds studied and recognition of all the sounds studied while listening to the speech of others.
By intonation habits we mean habits of producing intonationally and rhythmically correct speech and comprehension of the speech of others.

3 Main groups of ex-ses for t.Pr.:
Stage I. Ex-ses in listening (reception ex-ses), which are aimed at developing phonemic hearing and at establishing differential features of the phonetic studied.
Stage II. (drill stage) – ex-ses in reproduction. They are aimed at forming pronunciation habits properly. These are articulation ex-ses, which are aimed at practicing this or that particular sound and are based on multiple reproduction of one and the same sound;
Stage III. Speech ex-ses, which are aimed at developing habits of pronouncing the sounds in various combinations, e.g. habits of correct pronunciation of the sounds in the process of communication.
How to organize a phonetic drill:
Model reading by the
teacher
Reading in chorus by the
pupils
Individual reading by a pupil

How to work at a verse/poem/
Model
reading of a verse, preferably recorded
Translation of the verse
Memorizing the poem line by line
Reciting the whole poem
The benefits of using audio materials in teaching pronunciation:
they provide stable and multiple reception and reproduction of the phonic material;
they provide correction of the pupils’ pronunciation habits following the model;
comprehension of speech of different speakers;
regulating the tempo of speech (normal from the very beginning);
to record the pupils’ speech for correction.
