Abstract

Teachers of English all over the world realize the significance of pronunciation not only for oral language development but also for the skills of reading, writing and perception. As everyone knows, pronunciation is the greatest source of intelligibility failure. Nevertheless, in practice, because of the time constraints and learning targets versatility, pronunciation is not treated as an integral part of the entire learning  process.

In the lecture, some ideas on teaching  English pronunciation for LSP students by means of special exercises in stress, rhythm and intonation in the view of Russian-English interference  and current ICT tools and on the basis of  general chemical terminology are discussed. Special attention is paid to pronunciation and spelling correspondence in English, as well as to numerous letter-sound misinterpretations and mispronunciations of basic chemical terms borrowed from Latin and Greek to both Russian and  English. This approach, according to our practical experience in the groups of master and PhD Russian students of the English language, provides important conditions for further learning of a student – independent, autonomous, lifelong.
