Hello
A friend asked me to post her question.
Are private tutors expected to teach their students phonetic transcription? Should a teacher write transcription for every unkownn word their student finds in his/her text or should it be part of their assignment? The lesson lasts an hour only and it would take too much time to write transcription for each word during the lesson. My students are 10- 11 years old. I usually teach them phonetic symbols in the follwoing way. After learning two or more symbols I chose words read those words out loud they recognise the sounds and write them down. For example they were asked to notice the difference between man and men pan and pen. They pronounced all the words correctly and wrote the symbols too.
