Abstract

The article deals with the problem of English phonetic competence formation of university students of linguistic departments. The general characteristics of phonetic competence are given and the aims of its formation are defined. Mastering pronunciation as a communicative skill is defined as an important factor in the formation of phonetic competence. It is proved that students must acquire phonetic skills according to the requirements of the Curriculum and the State standard of foreign languages for colleges, according to which the practical aim of teaching a foreign language lies in the formation and development of students’ communicative competence, which is closely connected with the development of students’ phonetic competence for reaching communicative tasks. The features of communicative-oriented teaching pronunciation at English lessons are analysed. In particular, two approaches to teaching students pronunciation at English lessons are emphasized: the traditional (linguistic) approach, and the communicative one. According to to the communicative approach the learning process is a model of communication, that’s why it facilitates teaching pronunciation with the help of communicative situations. These communicative situations lead students to speech activities and create an English-speaking environment at the lesson. Three stages of the English phonetic competence formation of university students of linguistic departments with a short characteristic of exercises and video materials are specified. It is stated in the article that the preliminary preparation of the organs of speech to reproduce an articulation of phonemes is very important in the process of teaching pronunciation and students’ knowledge of speech articulation elements prevents and corrects errors in pronunciation. The article proves that modern pedagogical technologies promote the development of students’ phonetic skills and creativity in communication.
