Which of the following pronunciation teaching techniques is unlikely to be effective? select one:
a. covering pronunciation in isolation
b. getting students to listen and imitate
c. encouraging usage of the phonemic chart
d. giving students lots of practice

D. Giving students lot of practice.

Explanation:

Pronunciation is a crucial element of linguistic teaching which involves a variety of lessons beginning with the encouragement to use the phonemic chart. This phonemic chart would impart the basic knowledge of the sound structure of the knowledge. After this, the teacher targets a word and asks the students to imitate which would assist them in knowing the correct pronunciation of the word. Covering pronunciation in isolation would enlace them to distinguish between the two distinct or similar sounds. All these are the most effective techniques to teach pronunciation except giving students a lot of practice as too much of practice may lead to confusion.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
