The Ways of Formation Student’s Phonetic Skills in English Classes of Secondary Schools

Abstract

The issue of developing pronunciation skills among students in English language classes in general education schools remains relevant today. In the context of globalization, there is a growing need for learning several foreign languages, especially English, in order to integrate into the global community. Therefore, a number of important requirements are imposed on foreign language teaching. The use of various communicative activities in both secondary and higher educational institutions contributes to a more effective teaching and learning process. These activities include the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), audio and video materials, mass media resources, and other modern teaching tools. Such methods and resources not only enrich classroom instruction but also increase learners’ motivation. It should be noted that communicative language teaching in upper secondary school English classes is considered one of the key requirements of modern education. Examining the teaching process through contemporary methods and approaches makes it possible to achieve better educational outcomes. This article analyzes these issues and explores effective ways of developing students’ pronunciation skills.
