Why is Phonetics

important?

Phonics is one of the most important foundations of the English language. Without correct pronunciation, spoken English can be misunderstood or not understood at all. It is essential for all ESL students to have good pronunciation skills in order to get on properly prepared to go out into the world today. Unfortunately, phonics is rarely taught in schools, especially in ESL countries.

In Native English counties, phonics is picked up in everyday listening and speaking. But ESL countries don’t have that luxury. Most schools also don’t teach phonics because it is difficult to teach and often requires Native English Speaking teachers to teach, which is not always possible.
