Abstract

As one of the basic skills of English learning, phonetics learning is very important in the process of English language acquisition. Through a questionnaire survey of non-English majors and English teachers in three private universities in Hubei Province, it is found that students are subjectively aware of the importance of phonetic learning and are very dissatisfied with their phonetic status, but their efforts are far from enough. Teachers also have a good understanding of the importance of students' phonetics acquisition, but they do not pay enough attention to students' phonetic learning in actual teaching. Based on the questionnaire survey and the phonetic teaching experiment, this paper analyzes the current situation of non-English majors' phonetic acquisition in private colleges and universities and the problems and reasons in the phonetic learning, discusses the feasible coping strategies, and further puts forward the suggestions of phonetic teaching.
