In the old days, we didn’t much write like talking because
there was no mechanism to reproduce the speed of conversation.
But texting and instant messaging do — and a revolution has
begun. It involves the brute mechanics of writing, but in its
economy, spontaneity and even vulgarity, texting is actually a
new kind of talking. There is a virtual cult of concision and little
interest in capitalization or punctuation. The argument that
texting is “poor writing” is analogous, then, to one that the
Rolling Stones is “bad music” because it doesn’t use violas.
Texting is developing its own kind of grammar and conventions.

The role of pronunciation in non-native language teaching
has been in a state of constant change. In the earlier approaches,
foreign language pronunciation was either the result of exposure
to the target language or of approaches which used complex sets
of drills and repetitions. As suggested, to a large extent, the
importance of pronunciation has always been determined by
ideology and intuition rather than by research. Teachers have
intuitively decided which features have the greatest effect on
clarity and which are learnable in a classroom setting. Saito
claims that while the morphological and syntactical levels of
languages are taught in contextualized meaningful exercises,
pronunciation practice is decontextualized due to the use of drills
and repetition.
Pronunciation is one of the aspects of language both
native and non-native teachers of English are not keen on
teaching, and a lack of adequate teacher training results in an
intuitive use of available materials and techniques. Setting
pedagogical goals must be based on knowledge of pronunciation
issues. Unqualified teachers may have misconceptions about
phonological phenomena, cannot evaluate or use teaching
materials accurately, and do not set realistic goals when teaching
pronunciation. Furthermore, even teaching materials do not
reflect the conclusions of current research, and they can be
perceived as boring; however, Baker argues that teachers who
complete a pronunciation course have, and apply, a wider range
of pronunciation activities in their classrooms.

Whatever training is given there should always be a
permanent concern about the naturalness and spontaneity of
everyday speech rather than an artificial sound production for the
sake of preserving a “correct” pronunciation.
This is, in fact, a crucial issue, since if too much care is
demanded from the student, this may turn out to be an
undesirable blockage to another more important factor, namely,
fluency. Perhaps, and even worse, if over-careful pronunciation
habits are developed, this will certainly cause difficulties for the
oral comprehension, as the students will expect to hear sounds,
words and utterances the way they personally produce them.

The history of language study illustrates widely divergent
attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech.
Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a
source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide
language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar
were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.
The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored
or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating
only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules,
and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak
properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid
down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written
style.
There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout
the 19th century, but it was not until the 20th century that an
alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed
out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing;
that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be
artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative —
mostly based on sounds of speech.

According to the text, it used to be believed that the everyday spoken language is too anarchic to be used as the basis for grammar.

General observation suggests that it is those who start to
learn English after their school years who are most likely to have
serious difficulties in acquiring intelligible pronunciation, with
the degree of difficulty increasing markedly with age. This
difficulty has nothing to do with intelligence or level of
education, or even with knowledge of English grammar and
vocabulary.
Of course, there is no simple answer to why pronunciation
is so difficult to learn — indeed, there is a whole range of
theoretical perspectives on the question. What is generally
accepted among psycholinguists and phonologists who
specialized in this area is that the difficulty in learning to
pronounce a foreign language is cognitive rather than physical,
and that it has something to do with the way “raw sound” is
categorized or conceptualized in using speech.
Many learners of English as a second language have major
difficulties with English pronunciation even after years of
learning the language. This often results in them facing
difficulties in areas such as finding employment. Up to a certain
proficiency standard, the fault which most severely impairs the
communication process in EFL/ESL learners is pronunciation,
not vocabulary or grammar.
