Abstract

Traditional phonetics teaching mostly relies on the mode that teacher teaches orally and students imitate audio or teachers' pronunciation. However, due to the influence of mother tongue or other factors, students may not be able to hear clearly and learn accurately. The speech visualization software Praat can convert invisible voice into visual spectra, visually display the characteristics of voice, and make voice audible and visible, so that it is convenient for students to learn phonetics. This paper selects some students to find whether the students class can master the phonetic rhythm accurately by Praat, compared with the others students by traditional teaching. At last, the paper puts forward the teaching strategies in learning and teaching rhythm.
