Abstract

Pronunciation is the cornerstone of efficient spoken communication.  If the speakers’ pronunciation is incorrect, their utterances will be incomprehensible to listeners, and they will not be successful in their communication. The goals of this study were to look into EFL students’ English pronunciation issues and the elements that influence their English pronunciation. The discovery found that English phonemes at the initial syllable position that cause pupils problems included /ð/, /θ/, /dʒ/, /ʒ/, /v/ and /z/ sound respectively and the /ð/, /θ/, /v/, /f/, /s/, and /l/ sound at the final syllable position. According to this study, the students’ basic grasp of English pronunciation was the most significant contributor to this difficulty. However, another key cause of their pronunciation issues was the gap between the Uzbek and English sound systems.

 

     To‘g‘ri talaffuz samarali og‘zaki  muloqotning asosidir. Agar so‘zlovchilarning talaffuzi noto‘g‘ri bo‘lsa, ularning gaplari tinglovchilarga tushunarsiz bo‘lib qoladi, muloqotda muvaffaqiyat qozonmaydi. Ushbu tadqiqotning maqsadi EFL talabalarining ingliz tilini talaffuz qilish muammolari va ularning ingliz tilidagi talaffuziga ta’sir qiluvchi omillarni o‘rganish hisoblanadi. Izlanishlar shuni ko‘rsatdiki, o‘quvchilarda muammolarga olib keladigan boshlang‘ich bo‘g‘in pozitsiyasidagi ingliz fonemalariga mos ravishda /ð/, /th/, /dʒ/, /ʒ/, /v/ va /z/ tovushlari va /ð/, /th/ kiradi. , /v/, /f/, /s/ va /l/ tovushi oxirgi boʻgʻin oʻrnida. Ushbu tadqiqotga ko‘ra, talabalarning ingliz tilidagi eng katta qiyinchiliklari yuqoridagi tovushlar talaffuziga tushinish bo‘ldi. Shuningdek, ingliz va o‘zbek tilidagi tovush tizimidagi tafovutlar talaffuzdagi muammolarga asos hisoblanadi.

     Правильное произношение – основа эффективного устного общения. Если произношение говорящих неправильное, их слова будут непонятны слушателям, и общение не будет успешным. Целью данного исследования является изучение проблем английского произношения студентов EFL и факторов, влияющих на их английское произношение. Исследования показали, что английские фонемы с началом слога, вызывающие проблемы у учащихся, — это /ð/, /th/, /dʒ/, /ʒ/, /v/ и /z/ соответственно, а также включают /ð/, / й/. , /v/, /f/, /s/ и /l/ звучат в последней позиции слога. Согласно этому исследованию, самой большой трудностью для студентов в английском языке было понимание произношения вышеперечисленных звуков. Также в основе проблем произношения лежат различия в звуковом строе английского и узбекского языков.
