description <p>This article provides valuable insights and guidance for both teachers and students, with the aim of effectively enhancing Russian students' pronunciation skills. It challenges common misconceptions that often hinder the correct teaching and learning of English sounds, such as the belief that pronunciation mastery means indefinite retention, that correct pronunciation is excessive perfectionism, that phonetic symbols are unnecessary, etc. By addressing these misconceptions, the article seeks to foster a better understanding of the approach required to master the intricacies of English phonetics. This approach involves incorporating playful activities, utilizing non-verbal aids like images and gestures, implementing corrective questioning, and employing open discussions or brainstorming sessions. The goal is to encourage active participation and critical thinking among students, leading to improved phonetic skills in English language learning. Traditional resources such as phonetic charts and dictionaries with audio pronunciation are also recommended as part of this approach.</p>
