Article: Teaching Prolematic Consonants in English to Young Learners

I think that in study English, pronunciation is an important component in teaching English. Especially for young learners. Because English is the second language, the tongue of the young learners must not be familiar with the pronunciation of the English words in a good and the truth way. This is a challenge for teachers who teach this subject for young learners. The aim of this article is to test the improvement of English skills especially Pronunciation. There are two techniques tested, first through traditional method like repetition, sentences, etc. And the secknd one is through songs, games, story telling, and many more. They teach the technique in the pronunciation of some consonants in English. These results suggest though using training techniques sentences, repetition, and others have little contribution in improving pronunciation compared to learning through songs, games, or story telling. So from the results can be said that the experimental group is more prolific than the group that uses the song or games as a teaching technique pronunciation for young learners. But in my opinion both rights are the same as learning techniques that are quite effective, even I can improve English pronunciation ability of listening to songs or watching movies, because I am the type of people who are easy to get bored in doing something. So to note is a teacher must pay attention to the choice of language. Choose a song whose vocabulary is easy to understand for students. This is because so that students can memorize in a short time, so the students will enjoy this lesson. A teacher should design effective instructional techniques in the classroom because pronunciation is a subject that takes a long time in absorption.
