摘要

This paper aims at finding out pronunciation teaching techniques preferred by language teachers in either traditional or modern fashion. It summarizes the history and trends of pronunciation teaching in the world, lists traditional as well as modern techniques of teaching pronunciation, and tries to find out what three techniques language teachers prefer using most to teach pronunciation to their students. Further, it investigates whether there is a correlation between taking a pronunciation course in B.A education and three most frequently preferred pronunciation teaching techniques.
