The final thesis is concerned with teaching pronunciation of voiced and
voiceless TH consonants /ð/ and /θ/. The objectives of the work are to focus
on teaching secondary school students to produce these sounds correctly.
The thesis deals with a question whether it is possible to achieve faultless
pronunciation of the TH consonants.
The theoretical part enlists features of pronunciation, the importance of
teaching pronunciation and the most problematic sounds for Czech learners.
The factors influencing pronunciation and problematic TH consonants are
overviewed in the part too.
The practical part concentrates on the original teaching of TH
consonants. Activities and methods used for correction of /ð/ and /θ/ are
summarized in this part. The practical part is based on three recordings of
secondary school students. The recordings are subsequently analysed and
compared so as to answer the initial question whether the students are able
to improve their pronunciation of the TH consonants.
