The system of exercises for teaching students’ pronunciation skills in German lessons in the 9th grade of secondary school

The article describes the necessity of using different phonetic exercises in German lessons in the 9th grade. The subject of the article is phonetic exercises aimed at teaching pronunciation skills to 9th grade students in German lessons. The purpose of the work is to create a methodical complex of phonetic exercises for teaching pronunciation skills in the German language in the 9th grade. The following methods were used: empirical methods (study of information sources, analysis of obtained information), theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, and classification), and practical methods (practical modeling, description). In the process of the work, the necessity was confirmed for a teacher to apply work on students’ pronunciation in combination with other kinds of activities that are aimed at the development of lexico-grammatical, speech, and language skills. The analysis of one of the educational and methodical complexes in German for the 9th grade allowed us to establish the importance of creating phonetic exercises. During the analysis of the educational and methodical complex, such results were obtained as a lack of phonetic exercises to develop pronunciation skills. These results confirmed the necessity of including extra phonetic exercises aimed at teaching pronunciation skills. A methodical complex of phonetic exercises was created that could be used in German lessons in the 9th grade. The following conclusions were drawn: the German language teacher has to apply different types of phonetic exercises and include the work of developing pronunciation skills competently in each lesson, using not only an educational and methodic complex but also some additional materials. The created methodic complex will allow the German language teacher to apply phonetic exercises that will not only help students develop their pronunciation skills but also increase their motivation to work on this aspect by themselves.
