An Overview of Problematic Features of English Phonology for Czech Learners of English

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

As students of English can testify, English pronunciation is rarely given high priority, nor taught systematically in Czech EFL classrooms. Learners are immediately confronted with an array of phonological challenges within whole words. This has not always been the case. Comenius advocated the mapping of pronunciation and spelling “before all things”. While phonics has been returning to the L1 English language classroom, it has yet to become an integral part of L2 English language teaching. As an aid, particularly for Czech teachers of English, this article describes the problems which Czech speakers have with aspects of segmental phonology. Real life examples of phonological errors are given. Failure to teach good pronunciation, it is argued, does not only a disservice to today’s students who will be tomorrow’s teachers but to the next generation of learners too, their students. It is also suggested that modern teachers can apply timeless principles from the past to meet both present and future challenges.
