Keywords:
English pronunciation, Uzbek learners, phonetic challenges, vowel differences, consonant substitution, stress patterns, pronunciation trainingAbstract
Uzbek speakers face considerable challenges in mastering English pronunciation due to differences in phonetic structures, articulation patterns, and stress rules. This article explores the key pronunciation difficulties encountered by Uzbek learners, including vowel mismatches, consonant substitutions, stress irregularities, and rhythm inconsistencies. The paper also examines practical strategies for overcoming these challenges, such as phonetic training, auditory exposure, digital learning tools, and interaction with proficient speakers. Addressing these issues systematically can lead to significant improvements in pronunciation accuracy and communicative competence.
