Some Common Ways for Students to Improve Pronunciation during Covid-19 Pandemic

We cannot deny that pronunciation skill plays an essential role in our lives in this integration era. If we have good pronunciation, we can have a chance to get a good job. However, as I researched before, many Vietnamese people nowadays are stuck in pronunciation when speaking English. It means that students can still express their ideas about particular issues. Still, their worst accents may make the listeners misunderstand essential information because they could not wholly hear what students have said. Therefore, this study aims to research learning and to teach English via analyzing some related scientific articles. Besides, we also found a way to learn pronunciation online effectively when the Covid-19 pandemic still occurs everywhere in Ho Chi Minh City, which can help students still protect their health and gain new knowledge at the same time. On the other hand, we also found some helpful exercises that can help students practice pronunciation by themselves after class.
