ABSTRACT

Due to the influence of dialect, many English learners in China tend to speak English in the way they usually speak during second language acquisition, which results in negative transfer on English pronunciation. In order to reduce this phenomenon and improve the students’ English pronunciation level, it is necessary for us to study the topic and put forward solutions. By using the contrastive analysis, this paper compares the pronunciation of English, Chinese and Henan dialect so as to find out the influence of Henan dialect on English learners at segmental level and suprasegmental level. The results show strong correlation between the pronunciation of English and Henan dialect for English learners. Therefore, this paper analyzes the mistakes and reasons that learners of Henan province are prone to make in the process of learning, and puts forward corresponding suggestions for teaching on students’ negative transfer, so as to enhance the awareness of negative transfer for teachers and students.
