Effects of using synthetic and analytic phonics on young Thai students English pronunciation
Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to determine whether teaching using synthetic phonics and analytic phonics instruction help students improve their grapheme-phoneme knowledge and pronounce the target words and pseudo words as a whole. It was conducted with 13 Grade-1 students. This study focused on 18 consonants sounds and five short-vowel sounds written in CVC format.
Research has shown that teaching using synthetic phonics instruction can enhance students knowledge of phonemes and grapheme, and, in turn, enhance the pronunciation of the target words. In addition, analytic phonics instruction also helps the students pronounce the target words and pseudo word as a whole more correctly. The in-depth analysis of the main findings revealed that there are some letters that cause problems in pronunciation for students. These problems arose because these problematic letters names and their corresponding sounds are not related.
