Teaching the Fundamentals of English Sounds to Adult Learners in India.

English speakers from native English-speaking countries have a very attractive way of delivering their speech and have a good grip on the language. The reason is, the pronunciation they use has the right kind of effect on the listeners, especially for nonnative English-speaking countries. While in native English-speaking countries, the English LSRW skills come naturally to the speakers, the nonnative English speakers have to make efforts to learn and master those skills. Of all, listening and speaking are the first set of skills a child learns. In India, English is a second language, hence learning the right way to speak it requires massive efforts and practice. While learning the English language, one must understand that English as a language has different variations across the world and also there is a vast difference between speaking and writing English. This paper focuses on teaching the English sounds to adult learners in India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
