ABSTRACT
Language learning practice often assumes that most of the difficulties that learners encounter in the study of language are consequences of the degree to which the native languages differ from the English of the native speakers.
This research work is basically analyzed problems of pronunciation among the non-native speakers of English, especially the Yoruba People. The Yoruba Speakers of English encounter problems in pronouncing some English sounds because they are not aware that some English Phonemes exist. Some are aware but do not know where and how to use them.
Examples of these sounds are: /θ, ð, Ʒ, z, J, ٨, Ʒ: ǝ/. Therefore, they replaced the listed sounds with the familiar ones in the Yoruba phoneme system for example: /d/ for / ð /. Thus, a Yoruba speaker substitute the sound /d/ for / ð / in the word 'father'. Hence, the word 'father'/fa: ðәr// is then realized as ‘/fa:dӕ/.
This project analyzed some factors responsible for the mispronunciation of the English sound system and suggest ways those problems can be reduced if not curbed
