Teaching Phonetics of English in Indian Context

Satish Kumar Nadimpalli

Abstract :

After the determined and successful attempt made by Indians to communicate in English, the intelligibility of the variety of English spoken by Indians to the speakers of other varieties has become a big subject for both teachers and learners of English in India now. Pronunciation of English undoubtedly matters a great deal to teaching as well as learning in a country like India. Addressing this complex phenomenon of phonetics in terms of teaching is also equally complex. My experience as a learner and a teacher of phonetics has provided an impetus for this paper which helpfully suggests three crucial steps towards the betterment of pronunciation of English in the teaching and learning setting in India.
