Abstract
This article explores various intensive methods for teaching the phonetic aspects of the English language to students in the senior stages of secondary school. It discusses the importance of phonetics in language acquisition and communication skills development, particularly focusing on techniques that engage students actively and effectively. By employing innovative strategies and incorporating technology, educators can create immersive learning experiences that enhance students' pronunciation, listening comprehension, and overall language proficiency.
