English Language is said to be the primary source of communication across the globe. English is learnt as a second language in many countries. But there are different varieties of English used in different countries. In some countries like India where English is learnt as a second language, grammar and written skills are given more importance rather than pronunciation which may result in ineffective communication. So, everyone who learns English as their second language has to be very attentive regarding the variety of English they use, for their communication to be effective and clear. To standardize the pronunciation of English, linguists introduced a unique code which is known as IPA i.e., the International Phonetic Alphabet. It provides a unique symbol for each sound of English to vary one word from another. This paper mainly focuses on the importance of Phonetics, especially for ESL ( English as a Second Language) learners.
