Pronunciation is a fundamental aspect of language acquisition and communication, significantly influencing intelligibility and fluency. This theoretical background explores various frameworks and methodologies aimed at enhancing pronunciation skills among language learners. Key theories include the phonetic approach, which emphasizes the articulation and acoustic properties of sounds, and the communicative approach, which focuses on the functional use of language in context. This abstract underscores the need for a multifaceted approach to pronunciation improvement that integrates theoretical insights with practical strategies, ultimately aiming to foster greater confidence and communicative competence in language learners.
