Suggested mechanisms of motivation to study English pronunciation skills for NEU students

Tóm tắt

Pronunciation is seen as a hard skill to absorb to many students, which leads to their demotivation in learning this skill. Pronunciation taught at National Economics University mainly focuses on such practical issues that students often find scared of as sounds, word stress, sentence stress, and intonation. However, at the lowest level of pronunciation, mispronouncing words are common among those learners, not mentioning the higher levels, so it is unavoidable that they can easily lose interests when learning this skill. Arisen from that fact, this research has been done to help provide teachers and learners a set of motivation mechanism to be used as a strong tool and reference in their pronunciation classes.
