Importance of Pronunciation and Clarity in English
Improving pronunciation and clarity in English is crucial for non-native speakers to communicate with clarity and confidence. Pronunciation and accent are not about changing one's identity but gaining more power in spoken English. Embracing one's accent is important because complete accent elimination may not be achievable. Pronunciation affects communication, and being aware of intonation and substitution patterns in English can greatly impact how one is perceived. Enhancing pronunciation, recognizing and producing sounds that don't exist in one's native language, and developing intonation and rhythm are essential steps towards improving accent and clarity.
