Abstract

This study attempts to correct a common mispronunciation of the sound /ŋ/ and pronounce it as a compound sound /ŋg/ by Yemeni English teachers by applying the phonetic pronunciation model. The model was applied to a sample of 30 students from the fourth level. These students are considered trained teachers to get specific feedback about their mistakes and how to correct them especially when compared to the pronunciation of native speakers. The audio-lingual model, presented here, emphasizes the importance of teaching vocabulary pronunciation correctly. The proposed method of teaching speech can be of great benefit in treating this problem. There may not be a better way to improve poor pronunciation than to combine micro- and macro articulation skill activities to educationally and appropriately repeat problematic phonemes in a communicative context.
