It causes affections on students' English phonetics. Many dialects in Guizhou, having unique pronunciation from mandarin, are hard to understand even to local people, which become the major obstacle for many English learners in our province. This paper takes English majors in Guizhou Medical University for example, analyzing their common problems in pronunciation, such as [l]. [r]; [l]. [n]; [θ]. [e]; [f] and [v], and then discussing the causes. Finally, this paper finds out some solutions to the problem. It is hoped that this paper could provide some food of thought for new English teachers.展开更多

The theory stresses the importance of learning initiatives and cooperation. Based on constructivism theory, this paper uses empirical research, literature reference, and questionnaire survey to explore the phonetic teaching process of primary school English, to analyze problems from teachers and pupils, thus putting forward corresponding countermeasures. In the study, 100 pupils are interviewed from Grade 5 and Grade 6 of Jietou Central Primary School in Taizhou City. It is found through the questionnaire and data analysis of the problems on English phonetic teaching ways and skills as well as the English phonetic teaching situation that pupils lack listening training and interest in English learning. By analyzing the problems, the paper uses constructivism theory to put forward proposals of improving teachers’ teaching situation and pupils’ English phonetic situation, with the purpose of helping teachers to improve themselves in English phonetic teaching and finally improving pupils’ level in their English learning.展开更多
