- W2601652009 abstract "IntroductionPronunciation aspect of a language has been called as Cinderella of Language teaching and learning. (Kelly, 1969; Dalton, 1997). Perhaps it is the most ignored sub skill of English language. Besides there is a hyped discussion whether or not it should be part of learning/teaching language. On building awareness and concern for pronunciation, Joanne Kenworthy (1987) states that, needs to develop concern for pronunciation. They must recognize that poor unintelligible speech will make their attempts at conversing frustrating and unpleasant both for themselves and for their listeners. For many people, goal of learning English also includes pronunciation as a must, i.e. for those learners who will want to be able to interact with both native speakers and non native speakers of English. The learner of English language will definitely wish to apply it by participating in communication wherever English is used (John Wells, 1999). The learner's personal aim is mostly higher than just passing examination. With this in mind, learning pronunciation of English is synonymous to better communication skills. It also holds its value as per the accent of jobs, business and education. A survey carried out by Dr Tariq Rehman (2000) of the students of class ten indicate that most students want to be taught English at least as a subject if not the only language taught at school or as a medium of instruction.. And surely this feeling for English as international language has increased with the passage of time.What is Pronunciation?In its simplest sense, pronunciation is defined as:A way of speaking a word, especially a way that is accepted or generally understood)A word can be spoken in different ways by various individuals or groups, depending on many factors, such as:1 . the area in which they grew up2. the area in which they now live3 . their ethnic group .4. their social class5. their education.(www.answers.com)...English pronunciation has various components such as sounds stress and variation in pitch, and the learner needs to understand the function of these as well as their form, once the learner are aware that English words have a stress pattern, that, words can be pronounced in slightly different ways, that the pitch of the voice can be used to convey meaning then they will know, that to pay attention to and can build upon this basic awareness. (Joanne Kenworthy, 1987:27)BACKGROUNDRole of pronunciation in PakistanPakistan is a multicultural, multi ethnic and poly- glottal country. For many EFL and EIL learners English is third or even fourth language. 96% of its population speaks six major local languages e.g. Panjabi, Sindhi, Shina, Urdu etc. Pakistan is a multilingual country. Its national language, Urdu, is the mother tongue of only 7.57 per cent of the population though it is very widely used in the urban areas of the country. Pakistan's official language is still English as it was when the British ruled the country as part of British India. In addition to this, the country has five major indigenous languages given below.Pakistani languagesLanguages Percentage of speakersPunjabi 44.15Pashto 15.42Sindhi 14.10Siraiki 10.53Urdu 7.57Balochi 3.57Others 4.66(Dr Tariq Rehman, Source: Census 2001)Its population is mainly rural. And beyond doubt educational system is not uniform (madrassa, Urdu medium, cadet system, private elitist school and so on). It has thus speakers of English heading from madrassa system, Cambridge system, government school system and so on. Resultantly phonetic disparity is huge. Communication is done among all types of groups but the best lucid speaking way is called educated accent. For many speakers, English is still a foreign language. Only a small number of its speakers learn it naturalistically, the major part speaks it only academically. …" @default.
