Students must be asked to listen to english podcasts, watch hollywood movies, series,etc. they must also be prone to an english speaking environment, and must be taught phonetics as soon as possible.

I often face difficulties with my students over pronunciation. However, through regular practice of certain tongue exercises, this problem is not hard to overcome. There are specific sounds, depending on student's ethnic background, that may be hard to pronounce but they can be worked upon easily.

The basic issue is the Mother Tongue Influence (MTI). We can start by giving them tongue twisters with the sounds that they are facing issues in.
