Theteachershoulddetermine which sounds the students will find hard to pronunciate which sounds they can assimilate through imitation which sounds they require explanations of the organs of speech while producing them
Theprocedureinteachingpronuntiation 1) students hear a sentence, 2) then they hear a word or words in which a new sound or new sounds occur, 3) they hear the sound and the teacher`s explanation of how to produce it. E.g. My name is... name /n/
1) Students are invited to find the correct position of the tip of the tongue for pronouncing /n/ 2)After they have found the position of the tongue for /n/ they pronounce it as a single unit or as an isolated element. 3) Then they pronounce the sound in the word name and in the sentence My name is...
The sequence in the teacher`s work with the sound and in that of students' differs: Teacher: a sentence My name is... The book is thick a word name thick a sound /n/ /θ/ Students: a sound /n/ /θ/ a word name thick a sentence My name is... The book is thick

Correctingmistakes 1) the teacher explains the student his mistake and asks him to pronounce the sound, the word, the sentence again, paying attention to the proper position of the organs of speech for producing the sound, for example /θ/. (He should bite the tongue between the teeth and blow air out at the same time)
2) the teacher pronounces the sound,the word,the phrase,the sentence in which the mistake has been made, and the students imitate the teacher's pronunciation.
a student through comparison finds themistake and corrects it 3) teacher asks the students to listen to the tape-recording and pronounce the word or the sentence in the way the speaker does it
Pronunciation can be tought only by a long, patient and persistent effort throughout the whole course of study.
