I.Introduction t of he pronunciation course
English Pronunciation Practice is a compulsory course offered to the first year English majors with an aim to help the students to improve their English pronunciation and intonation for more effective communication.
Why must an English major learn Pronunciation course?
People often compare learning English to building a house.
English language consists of three parts:
Pronunciation ----- is the foundation. You can’t build a solid house without a solid foundation.
V ocabulary ----- is like the building materials (sand, bricks, stones and cement). Can you build a house without them?
Grammar ----- is the building theory. Without theory you don’t know how to build a house.
Of the three parts, pronunciation is the most essential.学习语言的目的是为了交际(书面和口头),而交际是否能顺利进行有众多的因素起作用(如语法、词汇、及语音,李阳说:一个人要学好一门外语,就必须掌握5%的语法、1%的词汇、100%的语音知识)。毫无疑问,发音是一个人英语的门面,一口漂亮的纯正的语音就象男士们大方得体的西装和女士们美丽高雅的衣裙一样给人留下一个美好的第一印象。With a good pronunciation, you can have a good communication with you foreign customers or guests and make a deep impression on others.
•There is a need.
- To improve speech intelligibility(言语可懂度)
( I want your knife(life). A fly flies over my fried rice.)
- To enhance listening comprehension
(Tom often helps us with our work.)
•There is a dream.
-To speak like a native speaker
•There is a must.
-To become more effective in oral communication
有些人的口音听起来易懂一些,有些人的口音听起来则费劲一些。比如听外国人说汉语时,我们往往得全神贯注,才能较好地理解他们所说的内容。假如整个对话过程都要竖起耳朵听,不时还得请求对方重复所说过的话,那么用不了多久,我们就会不耐烦。反过来也如此。一般来说,我们总是希望对话的另一方口音清楚易懂,所以,你们必须清楚你将来从事的工作(教学、涉外工作),语音语调错误可能对工作造成的影响以及听者的忍耐程度。如果说标准的
发音不是每个同学都能达到的目标,那么每个有志学好英语的同学应该使自己说的英语在英美人士听来“清楚易懂”。
发音不正使人产生误解,如:
2 .What to learn?
Many students think that the learning of pronunciation course is the learning of the correct pronunciation of the 44 phonemes. 有的同学认为学习语音就是发好每个音素就行了,发好每个音素就一定能说出标准的英语,那就大错特错了。
英语语音课的学习应该包括以下几个重要的方面:
1、掌握44个音素的发音(to pronounce correctly all the individual speech sounds
in English;)
2、把握词与词的过渡,意连贯( the transition of words and pauses in sentence)
3、掌握多音节的重音规则(master stress rules);
4、掌握单词的重读、弱读(have a good master of the strong forms and week forms
of some function words)
5、正确把握句子重音(to speak fluently with sentence stress,the correct
placement of stresses in a sentence)
6、掌握正确的话语节奏(to speak fluently with correct rhythm)
7、正确、得体地使用语调(to speak with appropriate intonation according to the
context )
You will have to undergo intensive training in these aspects. A good master of them will enable you to improve you spoken English, so that you will be able to communicate more effectively with good pronunciation and intonation.
3.How to learn?、
1)学习英语语音就象学习艺术一样,象练钢琴、习字绘画、跳芭蕾一样。“练”是核心,是关键。要天天练,时时练,不间断地练。不能操之过急,要懂得循序渐进的道理。( The learning of pronunciation is just like the learning of playing the piano, painting, dancing. Practice is the key to success. You have to practice every day without stopping.)
2)在正确的指导下练。要有正确的正规的语音指导,如:直接接受教师指导,用听录音、听广播等方式来学语音。这样你就可以打好基础,练好基本功。(Practice under the guidance of the teacher.)
3)学习语音要抱着“从头学”的态度。“从头学”的意思是把英语语音作为一种全新的事物去学,因为一张白纸才能划出最新最美的图画。不要去“捷径”—从汉语中去“相同”的音来替代英语中的音。可以这样说,英语音素中有和汉语拼音相似的音:如/i: /, / a:/, / u:/ 等。但没有完全相同的音。这样的替代只
是给你暂时的满足,长远来说很可能贻误是,造成终身的遗憾。因为一量形成了错误的发音,要想纠正,需要花上双倍甚至更多的时间和努力。
4)练习语音越界效果越好,越早练越容易纠正,越早练越可以赢得时间。但一句英语成语说得好:Never too late to learn.(学习永远不会太晚)。千里之行,始于足下,请你今天就开始。
(Hold an attitude of Learning from the very beginning. It means that you should take it as a whole new thing to learn because you can draw a most beautiful picture on a piece of white paper.)
4.Questions:
1)什么是学语音的灵丹妙药?effective way
应该说学语音是丹妙药的,也没有捷径的。不过,学习语音是有好方法,有时还窍门。最好的方法就是听和模仿。
听:可以提高你的辨音能力。要听正确的语音,听教师的示范,听好的录音带。努力把自己置身于一个英语环境中。只要你用心听,久而久之就会受到英语美妙动听的音调的熏陶。听,不但给你带来享受,还会使你有一个高标准和目标,不断激励你去追求和攀登。
模仿:不听,光自己读,是学习语音的误区。光听不模仿,则是学习语音的另一误区。要大胆地模仿,大声地读和说,要背诵诗歌和短文。只要你持之以恒,你就会有明显的进步。
( It is not good to read aloud without listening to the recorder. It is also not good to listen without imitation. Imitate what you hear with courage. Read and speak aloud, recite poems and short passages. If you keep on doing so, you will make obvious progress.)
2)什么是好的语音?
对于我们中国人学英语,语音的最高标准当然是能和英语国家的人说得一样或基本上接近。然而这样的要求是很高的,达到这种要求也是很困难的。实际上语音需要十分标准的只是少数,如英语播音员、专业英语教师等。对于我们大多数人来说,能做到以下几点就应该算是好的语音。
元音、辅音音素基本正确,发音清晰;
语调基本正确;
stops是什么音语速适中;proper speed in your speech
语流无太多断句和停顿;not too many broken sentences
交际时对方听得明白,无需多次请你重复;During your communication you can make yourself understood without being asked to repeat again and again.
会话基本能自然顺利进行。Conversation can go on smoothly.
5.Assessment
期末考试成绩60%+ 平时成绩40%
1) Oral Exam (60%): Reading of words, sentences and short passages, etc.
2)The regular grades are judged by attendances, other performance/behaviors in
class, assignments-- (daily work)
