Chapter One    Introduction

1.1    Pronunciation Teaching in China
English pronunciation is the starting point of English teaching. Pronunciation is the first stage  of  teaching.  (Fan  Jianhua,  2002)  Wang  Chuming  (2001)  states  that  the  foundation  of pronunciation has to be solid in terms of the regular route of language learning. Pronunciation is  the  surface  of  language,  the  nature  of  language,  and  the  base  of  language  teaching.  The success  in  this  period  of  learning  pronunciation  is  truly  vital  for  future  grammar  learning, vocabulary  memorising,  listening  developing,  speaking  improving  and  reading  upbringing. (Zhang  Fengtong,  1998)  In  this  case,  it  is  evident  that  learning  English  pronunciation  is  of great importance in our country. Although  China  has  reached  an  agreement  that  pronunciation  teaching  reserves  its significance, the issue of how to implement pronunciation teaching properly and effectively remains  ambiguous.  Chen  and  Hu  (2006)  conduct  a  survey  which  indicates  that  the  poor pronunciation  of  the  Chinese  people  has  hindered  our  communication  with  people  from English-speaking  countries.  As  Morley  (1991)  states,  pronunciation  is  an  essential  part  in communication  which  needs  to  be  taught  systematically.  Therefore,  it  is  necessary  for teachers  to  take  pronunciation  teaching  of  English  seriously.  It  needs  various  resources  to help  English  teachers  to  improve  the  situation  of  pronunciation  teaching  and  finally  to eliminate its ambiguity. Therefore, the best studying subjects are English-speaking countries. We learn their ways of teaching English pronunciation to better our teaching. Good English pronunciation teaching requires the combination of theories and practice to reach a reasonable outcome. This paper focuses on the pronunciation teaching patterns in China and the UK with comparison between the two to analyse their individual advantages and  disadvantages.  This  comparison  provides  Chinese  teachers  with  basis  of  improving teaching as well as new discovery for English pronunciation teaching.
