The Importance of Feedback in Pronunciation
Feedback plays a crucial role in improving pronunciation. It helps to bring awareness to areas of improvement that learners may not have been aware of. For example, a repetitive mistake or using a word in the wrong context. Feedback also boosts confidence and validation in one's language skills. However, there are downsides to relying solely on feedback. Sometimes learners may not be ready to implement the feedback immediately, or the act of receiving feedback might hinder fluency and freedom in speaking. Additionally, feedback can be hard to access and may not be available at all times. Therefore, practicing without feedback can have its advantages, such as building flow and confidence, being resourceful and creative, and learning to provide self-feedback.
