Teachers sometimes assume that more outgoing learners
will be able to learn pronunciation better than shyer students, and
there may be some truth to this. Confident students might speak
more and be more willing to try new sounds, and this extra
practice could help them improve their pronunciation. However,
this improvement is certainly not guaranteed. Some outgoing
students may be producing a lot of language, but they may also
be jumping ahead without paying attention to the accuracy of
their pronunciation. If listeners are impressed by their fluency
and accept their imperfect pronunciation, they have no way to
know that they need to improve.
Some more introverted students might actually be
thinking carefully about sounds and practicing “within
themselves,” even if they don’t speak much in class. Don’t
underestimate the quiet students. Appreciate the strengths and
possibilities of all your students and encourage everyone. All
students can learn and improve in their own way.
Another aspect of personality that can affect pronunciation
is the degree to which a person is willing or able to change the
way they sound. Most of us have been speaking and listening to
language in the same, familiar way since we learned to talk. Our
voice and our pronunciation are a central part of the way we see
ourselves. It can be uncomfortable, and possibly even
frightening, to try out unfamiliar sounds and melodies of
language. For some people this process seems like a small bump
on the road, but for others, it’s a serious roadblock.

The role of pronunciation in non-native language teaching
has been in a state of constant change. In the earlier approaches,
foreign language pronunciation was either the result of exposure
to the target language or of approaches which used complex sets
of drills and repetitions. As suggested, to a large extent, the
importance of pronunciation has always been determined by
ideology and intuition rather than by research. Teachers have
intuitively decided which features have the greatest effect on
clarity and which are learnable in a classroom setting. Saito
claims that while the morphological and syntactical levels of
languages are taught in contextualized meaningful exercises,
pronunciation practice is decontextualized due to the use of drills
and repetition.
Pronunciation is one of the aspects of language both
native and non-native teachers of English are not keen on
teaching, and a lack of adequate teacher training results in an
intuitive use of available materials and techniques. Setting
pedagogical goals must be based on knowledge of pronunciation
issues. Unqualified teachers may have misconceptions about
phonological phenomena, cannot evaluate or use teaching
materials accurately, and do not set realistic goals when teaching
pronunciation. Furthermore, even teaching materials do not
reflect the conclusions of current research, and they can be
perceived as boring; however, Baker argues that teachers who
complete a pronunciation course have, and apply, a wider range
of pronunciation activities in their classrooms.

In the old days, we didn’t much write like talking because
there was no mechanism to reproduce the speed of conversation.
But texting and instant messaging do — and a revolution has
begun. It involves the brute mechanics of writing, but in its
economy, spontaneity and even vulgarity, texting is actually a
new kind of talking. There is a virtual cult of concision and little
interest in capitalization or punctuation. The argument that
texting is “poor writing” is analogous, then, to one that the
Rolling Stones is “bad music” because it doesn’t use violas.
Texting is developing its own kind of grammar and conventions.
