Pronunciation is undoubtedly an irreplaceable element of language learning and 
teaching, it is necessarily an important element. Indeed, pronunciation is often what is 
being perceived as redundant and is therefore often neglected and avoided by many 
teachers of second language [1].
Proper pronunciation is essential when learning English as a second or foreign 
language. At the beginning level, English learners need to focus on the basics of 
pronunciation. In general, the use of rote learning is best for this level. For example, the

pronunciation of -ed in the simple past is a good starting point for future pronunciation 
drills. Students should also learn the difference between voiced and voiceless 
consonants. Improving pronunciation through a focus on stress and intonation is one of 
the best ways to improve higher intermediate to advanced level English learners. At this

exercises such as minimal pairs, and individual syllable stress. However, English 
learners at this level often focus too much on the correct pronunciation of each word, 
rather than on the music of each sentence. To introduce the concept of stress and 
intonation and the role it plays in understanding, the students first need to understand 
the role of content and function words.
The goal of pronunciation teaching and learning is communicative competence, not 
the complete absence of an accent. Saving non-stressed the need for meaningful
