Abstract

This paper studies the transfer impact of Chinese dialects on English pronunciation. Through the contrastive analysis of the recordings of all freshmen majoring in English from different dialect regions, and through related literature review, this paper analyzes the common and individual English pronunciation errors of every dialect region one by one, with the research results of this team in 2015 also taken into consideration. The results exhibit the ineffectiveness of English Pronunciation Course in correcting students' errors. Teachers should lead students to improve the pronunciation and avoid the negative transfer impact.
