Abstract

 

Accurate and standard pronunciation is one of the key elements of evaluating the effectiveness of oral communication and the basic literacy of language learners. As Chinese students keep encountering difficulties in English pronunciation during their language acquisition process due to the interference of their mother tongue -- Chinese, it becomes even more necessary to be aware of the distinctions of the two languages and in what way one influences the acquisition of the other. Chinese and English phonetic systems have significant differences as well as the slight ones. So it is only common that EFL learners will from time to time find it difficult to sound like a native speaker, as they are influenced by their mother tongue to varying degrees.

 

 This paper illustrates the difficulties Chinese EFL learners may encounter while producing English vowels and consonants and explores the reasons of these common errors on the theoretical basis of negative transfer by exploring the differences between Chinese and English phonetic systems and that if the mispronunciation can be avoided. Furthermore, it provides suggestions on the ways to eliminate the effect of negative transfer of Chinese on English pronunciation so as to smooth away the difficulties in the acquisition of English pronunciation.

 

Key words: negative transfer; Chinese and English phonetic systems; contrastive analysis
