Abstract
Vocabulary and its accurate pronunciation play
a pivotal role in learning a language. When we
consider the phonological aspect of vocabulary,
it includes both the vowels (monopthongs and
diphthongs) and consonantal sounds. Teaching
and learning of English and its vocabulary are
unsatisfactory in Assamese medium schools,
especially in rural areas. The present article
attempts to study the learning of some difficult
sounds of English language, especially fricatives
and affricates. Through the article, I have tried
to identify the reasons behind the phonological
problems encountered by English language
teachers and students in Assamese medium
schools, and recommend remedial measures in
order to improve the second language teachinglearning
scenario.

Published twice a year in January and July, Language and Language Teaching (LLT) reaches out to language teachers, researchers and teacher educators on issues and practices relevant to language teaching. The primary focus of the publication is language pedagogy in elementary schools. LLT proposes to establish a dialogue between theory and practice so that practice contributes to theory as much as theory informs practice. The purpose is to make new ideas and insights from research on language and its pedagogy accessible to practitioners while at the same time inform theorists about the constraints of implementation of new ideas. |
