PHONETICS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS A SCIENCE, ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE AND ART

Abstract

In this article, the obligatory aspects of teaching the phonetics of the English language to Russian students were determined. Taking into account the nature of “Russian” errors in English, when creating textbooks on phonetics, emphasis should be placed on consolidating the skills of using wide phonological transcription, articulatory and auditory practice of phonological oppositions and positional length of vowels and diphthongs. Particular attention is required: the pace of speech, phrasal and word stress, punctuation and graphic semiotics of the text and style.
