Reasons of different pronunciations in Pakistan and their solution
Where there is a problem, there is a factor of it as
well. Just like the problems, there are many factors of mispronunciation too. Under
are some of the factors of different pronunciations.
(I) Education System
The education system of Pakistan is the basic factor of
mispronunciation among Pakistani students and sub-standard schooling as well as
many other problems existing in our country. There are schools which educate
their students very properly, but they are few in number .On the other hand,
there are many academic institutions which provide sub-standard education.
Therefore the basic problem is the dual education system which privileges some
students and others remains deprived.
(II) Untrained and Unqualified Teachers
As
it is an open secret that there are shortcomings in our education system, they
recruit teachers who are not qualified enough to teach. Now there is no chance
for the students to learn correctly. When the teachers themselves would not be
aware of the correct phonetics, how could they teach their students? Now
it is obvious that they are going to transfer poor and wrong pronunciation to
the students.
(III) Transliteration
Since Urdu Punjabi ,Pushto,Sindhi and Baluchi languages
are used as the mother-tongue, people are in the habit of using sounds of these languages. This repetition of
pronouncing English sounds in their own style consolidates the mispronunciation.
(IV) Impact of Regional Language
Students belonging to different provinces have the
strong impact of their regional language as Urdu . Punjabi, Pashto ,Sindhi or Baluchi speakers have, they while
pronouncing leave their regional impact on words which is a problem and can
cause mispronunciation.
(V) IT and Electronic Media
According to the social learning theory, a person
learns from its surrounding. What he watches and observes, he imitates it. The
same situation applies in case of learning pronunciation. IT and Media is
undoubtedly a great source of learning. Watching movies, playing games and
listening to songs are common hobbies of students, and many students watch
movies and listen to songs to improve their English. If the media use wrong
pronunciation the hearer will definitely learn the same. In Information
Technology words are miswritten so they are copied wrongly
