A methodological experiment for testing pronunciation at different stages among students of linguistic and non-linguistic departments
The article presents a description of 6 stages of a methodical experiment on pronunciation testing among Russian-speaking students. Firstly, diagnostic testing was conducted through phonetic tests (stage 1). Its results were taken as the basis for the creation of a program for an integrated English language course, which includes pronunciation training components developed with the help of the communicative approach. The program was tried on the segmental level (stages 2, 3) and suprasegmental level (stages 4, 5), as well as on a control group (stage 6). The experiments confirmed the efficiency of the program.
