  • Abstract:
  • Achieving success in professional communication largely relies on a spoken form of the language, especially now that there is global interaction. Many non-native speakers suffer with regard to clear accents, pronunciation, and fluency in grammar that present hindrances for meaningful interactions. This paper explores the role of phonetic approach in addressing the challenges and enhancing spoken English skills for professional environments. The phonetic technique aims at learning and implementing the sounds, rhythm, and intonation of English through which learners improve their ability to pronounce correctly and choose a neutral or profession-depending accent. Combining phonetic methods with those of grammar guarantees that learners eventually become fluent and linguistically accurate. Such an entire approach not only improves effective verbal communication but also self-confidence in professional settings that may include presentations, meetings, and collaborations. This approach also gives insight into practical applications and benefits of phonetic training in workplace communication. This approach reduces misunderstandings due to language because the clarity and inclusiveness enhanced by this approach are valued by professionals who have to work in diverse, international teams. Real-life cases and strategies are discussed for underlining the transformative possibilities of phonetic teaching.
