CONCLUSION
The importance of listening skills for speech activity is not questioned by any specialist, since pronunciation training is subject to the actual development of speech activity, which occurs at the initial stage and earlier. Insufficient mastery of them leads to a violation of communication, although an approximate approach is acceptable to some phenomena. At present, the method of gradual and continuous mastering of auditory pronunciation skills and their mandatory further improvement has justified itself.
There are two stages in teaching listening skills. The first, or initial stage, is focused on the formation of skills. The work includes exercises in active listening to the sample and conscious imitation.
The second stage is characterized by maintaining acquired skills and preventing their deautomatization . Here it is quite advisable to use exercises, both in listening and in reproduction, to develop not only auditory, but also pronunciation skills.
When performing exercises, it is advisable to use TSO, although it is extremely necessary to control the teacher, who coordinates the work of students, corrects the inevitable errors that occur and helps to increase the motivation of children when learning a foreign language.
Mastering the correct English pronunciation is possible only if students master the English phonetic base at all levels of the phonetic system of the language - at the level of sound, syllable, word stress, intonation. In other words, the student must learn the specifics of the articulation of English sound and syllable, as well as the characteristic features of English stress and intonation. To master the phonetic base of the language being studied, it is necessary, first of all, to master the articulation pattern characteristic of native speakers of this language, which can be quite difficult when learning a foreign language. This is where the concept of interference comes in.
The most general explanation of the very phenomenon of interference can be considered those properties of a bilingual that are determined by the phonological hearing that exists in his linguistic consciousness. In accordance with traditional ideas about the properties of phonological hearing, a native speaker of any language interprets any unfamiliar sound as familiar, i.e. turns any sound sequence into a sequence of phonemes of the native language - this is what we call typical mistakes in pronouncing the sounds of the English language. We found that these errors can vary in difficulty and each error, depending on its difficulty, needs a certain approach to overcome in order to achieve the best result.
