6. ADVICES FOR IMPROVING PRONUNCIATION ADVICES FOR IMPROVING PRONUNCIATION  FIND OUT WHAT MISTAKES YOU MAKE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT MISTAKES YOU ARE MAKING, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO IMPROVE.  TRY TO LISTEN TO GOOD MODELS OF SPEECH. ASK SOMEONE YOU KNOW TO RECORD FOR YOU SOME TECHNICAL WORDS IN YOUR SUBJECT THAT YOU FIND IT DIFFICULT TO PRONOUNCE.  MARK UP A READING TEXT. PUT MARKS AND SYMBOLS ON A READING TEXT TO SHOW WHERE WORDS ARE LINKED TOGETHER,

7.  HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC ‘TARGET’ FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR THE WEEK. JUST SAYING ‘MY AIM IS TO IMPROVE MY PRONUNCIATION’ IS TOO GENERAL AND UNFOCUSSED.

TRY TO WORK SPECIFICALLY ON ONE ASPECT OF YOUR PRONUNCIATION EACH WEEK.  SOME PEOPLE FIND THAT RECORDING THEMSELVES AND LISTENING BACK CAN HELP TO SPOT ERRORS IN PRONUNCIATION. BUT NATURALLY, YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT MISTAKES YOU MAKE FIRST.  USING PRONUNCIATION BOOKS AND CASSETTES, AND INTERNET WEB SITES, CAN HELP. THERE ARE USEFUL PRONUNCIATION SELF-STUDY BOOKS AVAILABLE AND LISTENING TO THE CASSETTES AND PRACTISING REPEATING THEM FOR TEN OR FIFTEEN MINUTES A DAY CAN BE TIME WELL SPENT.
