Escuela Universitaria de Educación (Soria) K1 Lengua Inglesa K1 Educación primaria AB The present work tries to reflect the current society in the Spanish Society about English pronunciation. This research arises from the current lack of teaching pronunciation in Primary schools. The Spanish people have been usually considered not very good speakers of English, but instead of trying to change this fact we have forgotten about it and we live in a society stagnant in a theoretical learning of English. Also, the knowledge of phonetics and its correct use will make the difference between a useful language and a non- useful one. The aim is to avoid the current reality about future English teachers with no idea of pronunciation when it should be a perfect speaker, reader, writer and listener. Due to the absence of teaching pronunciation in the actual Spanish regulation and in order to go one step beyond between reality and complete integration of Phonetics in our educational system, an innovative strategy to teach Phonics in a 5th grade class of English will be developed. The innovation mixed with traditions takes part in the role playing musical of one of the reference films about English pronunciation: “My Fair Lady”. I have developed a complete analysis of a required skill in a globalized world, demanding us more implementation of our skills as teachers in order to create a better education in a second international language that is English to our students and their motivation YR 2014 FD 2014 LK http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/8432 UL http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/8432 LA spa DS UVaDOC RD 19-abr-2024
