How do we help correct the pronunciation? - General education
Pronunciation problems can be corrected in young people and adults, but it depends a lot on the critical period of language acquisition; In this period, children from birth to almost six (06) years of age will acquire everything related to their language or the languages they speak.
That is, people who need a true correction in pronunciation, have the need to acquire phonemes, sounds, words, sentences and grammar that must be used to execute sentences correctly, followed by pragmatics, etc. This will allow you to continue increasing the vocabulary to speak correctly.
Are the language and speech problems corrected when correcting the pronunciation?
When there are problems related to language and speech, in the period of work of pronunciation is undoubtedly the right time to correct each of them. If not, the problem may persist for years or a lifetime.
Why do young people and adults with problems with pronunciation continue?
It is very noticeable to find or that there are young people and adults with problems of pronunciation of some sounds, typically it is immersed inside the picture of pronunciation what is related to the letter "R" and the letter "S"; For the sounds or their pronunciation when wanting to speak correctly requires a force of the tongue and to know where is the point of articulation to be able to pronounce the sounds. When therapy is not received at the right time, this problem of pronunciation may persist.
On what does the correct pronunciation depend?
The pronunciations can be helped both in childhood and in adulthood, but everything depends on the following:
An evaluation must be made.
You must know why the person can not pronounce the different sounds.
Check if you do not have a correct pronunciation, due to the following: lack of strength, control of the movement of the tongue, lack of knowledge of the point of articulation and the bad habit of pronouncing incorrectly.
Breaking down more widely the parameters should be done as follows:
In the assessment, the cause will be known and from there it is determined what is to be done.
Much of the improvement in pronunciation will depend on the motivation of the person.
If the person affected in the wrong pronunciation does not want to correct their problem, no matter how good the therapy is, there will not be a complete correction or there will not be a change.
The person who wishes to correct the pronunciation must be motivated, because in this way he breaks the root with the bad pronunciation he has had.
The important thing is to have patience, help correct the pronunciation with practical exercises, teach what is the mode of articulation; Demonstrate to the person receiving the help the strengths that are acquired by having strength, control and movement, not only of the tongue but of the whole fonoarticulator apparatus that corresponds to the mouth, tongue, jaw and all the organs that help with the pronunciation.
What is the most difficult thing when wanting to correct the bad pronunciation?
When you have a long period without pronouncing correctly, it is difficult to combat the bad habit in the incorrect pronunciation. It is difficult when they have not been treated since the beginning of the problem, since when starting to place exercises to help him to pronounce, people feel that they do not advance, and they get frustrated.
It is advisable to talk with the person who suffers the problem and report:
This is resolved with practice.
This takes time.
When people are motivated, they want change and strive, of course everything can be corrected. The change can be made with the correct therapy, since the proposed objectives are achieved.
