Abstract

The inter-dental consonant phonemes like /θ/ and /δ/ have always created pronunciation problems for Turkish learners of English in that these two sounds are non-existent as phonemes or sounds in the sound system of the Turkish language. The aim of this study is to rehabilitate the pronunciation mistakes caused by [θ] and [δ] sounds of English to Turkish learners of English by making use of a pronunciation teaching method called the audio-articulation method developed by Demirezen (2004) as a fossilized pronunciation mistake breaker. The result of the study indicated that the audio-articulation method helps Turkish students of English overcome their interdentalization problem in the target language.
