Pronunciation and reading.
A lack of knowledge of pronunciation can even affect reading

Thus , we can say that pronunciation is not only important for oral
communication, but it’s closely linked with listening comprehension, spelling,
grammar, and reading. To ignore pronunciation to ignore important information
that can support these other skills.
Fact 3:
Pronunciation teaching is not boring. Perhaps it has been done in a
boring way. However, by nature, it’s not boring. Teaching that does not involve the
students’ intelligence is boring. Teaching that employs material that is irrelevant to
the students is boring. Practice that is monotonous is boring. A teacher who
believes pronunciation teaching is boring.
Fact 4:
Non native speakers of English can teach pronunciation. It is not
unusual of them fell apprehensive about teaching pronunciation, but their
apprehension can be diminished and eliminated. Non native speakers of English
have an advantage over native speakers of because they can learn to perceive and
use rhythm and intonation more easily than native speakers, for whom these are
unconscious features.
To sum up, we can say that information about pronunciation supports not only
oral language development but the ability to interpret speech as well as the skills of
reading and writing it should be treated as an integral part of the entire process of
teaching.
At our school pronunciation is not taught as a separate aspect of the language.
Students acquire pronunciation in the process of mastering speaking and reading. It
is impossible for students at school to acquire very accurate pronunciation so the
school syllabus states approximate pronunciation as the goal of teaching, that is
approximate to the norm of the English language. It is means that the phonetic
material is carefully selected and some deviant features of the sound are admitted.
But it shouldn’t lead to intelligibility failures. Each language has more than one
styles of pronunciation. At our school British R.P is taught. RP is the language of
the T. V, radio, cinema, theatre, and educational institutions in Great Britain.
