ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS OF LITERARY PRONUNCIATION IN THE METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING THE AZERBAIJANI LANGUAGE

Abstract

This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of developing literary pronunciation in the process of teaching the Azerbaijani language. As an integral component of speech culture, literary pronunciation plays a crucial role in the development of students’ communicative and academic skills. Based on the analysis of the current teaching situation, the main problems have been identified: the influence of dialects, the lack of systematic work on orthoepy, the limited teaching-methodical and technical resources, as well as subjectivity in formative and summative assessment. It is noted that insufficient attention to these issues leads to a decline in the quality of speech training and the formation of persistent pronunciation errors in students’ speech.
