Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a solution to solve the problem of Thai pronunciation among Vietnamese students learning Thai in University of Foreign Language Studies,, The University of Danang. The pronunciation of Thai and Vietnamese differ in initial consonants, vowels, fina consonants, and tone. Throughout this research, the researcher conducted a survey of students’ Thai pronunciation. The findings revealed that they produced incorrect pronunciation of initial consonants, vowels, final consonants and tone. To address these linguistic difficulties effectively, the researcher created 13 sets of electronic minimal pair cards. Each card contained 10 minimal pair of similar words to point out the pronouncing differences. Linguistic methods and speech recognition were therefore taken in a thorough usage. As a result, the students showed a significant improvement in their pronunciations, more accurate and clear by applying the method above.
