Using IPA in teaching English oral production and reception to Algerian learners

Abstract EN

This paper deals with using the phonetic transcript in teaching English oral production and listening comprehension to BA students.

It is assumed to be a practical solution to the problems caused by English spelling inconsistency.

Transcription has been used, though maligned by many, to clear spelling ambiguity, but applied only to segments and stress in isolated words in the subject of phonetics.

It has seldom been a tool in teaching the oral productive and receptive skills.
