Abstract
Our paper analyzed relevant acoustic parameters of people’s speech samples and the results that compared with English standard pronunciation with methods of experimental phonetics by phonetic analysis software and statistical analysis software. Then we summarized phonetic pronunciation errors of college students through the analysis of English pronunciation of vowels, we found that college students’ English pronunciation are easy occur tongue position and lip shape errors during pronounce vowels. Based on analysis of pronunciation errors, we put forward targeted voice training for college students’ English pronunciation, eventually increased the students learning interest, and improved the teaching of English phonetics.
Highlights
With the rapid development of experimental phonetics, the second language acquisition research about English pronunciation is gradually emerging in China
Results showed that the deficiencies and errors of Chinese English learners in spoken language, analyzed vowel errors, and put forward the method and theory about improving the rate of correct pronunciation
We first clarified our targets that specify the vowel of college students' English pronunciation
Summary
With the rapid development of experimental phonetics, the second language acquisition research about English pronunciation is gradually emerging in China. Results showed that the deficiencies and errors of Chinese English learners in spoken language, analyzed vowel errors, and put forward the method and theory about improving the rate of correct pronunciation. English phonetic teaching and learning in China are still holding the traditional explanation, imitating and training, there is no analysis of the errors and problem, the study efficiency and the enthusiasm of the learners are not positive. We used methods of experimental phonetics and speech analysis software to study, which can observe sonograms and analyze data objectively, and can find out the errors in pronunciation. What’s more, provide reference methods for Chinese college students' English phonetic learning. We first clarified our targets that specify the vowel of college students' English pronunciation. We concluded the problems and provide correct guidance for learners, and improve the pronunciation of English speech
