"El uso en el desarrollo fonético del idioma Inglés en los estudiantes del 10mo año del Centro General de Educación Básica La Provincia"

Abstract

Currently, learning English has become an imperative academic task in each human-being. For this reason, students must start with the basis of the language. It is phonics. It is the science that studies the sounds represented by graphemes. The research starts in response to a deficit in production of sounds in English in the teaching-learning process with students of the 10th year of basic education. Upon detecting this problem, possible solutions are investigated. To start it has been proposed to use a very advantageous teaching tool, which is the use of songs, since students are very motivating to learn by singing; hearing songs besides using workshops to ease retention of sounds and new vocabulary. The research´s proposal is to improve learners’ pronunciation; the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), will be used in order to facilitate their work. The English language is characterized by being very irregular in it, and there are no rules that provide for granted that a sound always sound the same. There will always be exceptions. Therefore it is proposed to work with workshops that include vowel and consonant sounds in musical activities.
