This article delves deeply into the phonological challenges that Uzbek learners encounter when acquiring English phonetics, offering a comprehensive comparative analysis of the similarities and differences between the sound systems of English and Uzbek. The focus is placed on vowel and consonant inventories, stress patterns, intonation contours, and their acoustic realizations. By examining these elements, the study identifies key difficulties, such as the production of English-specific phonemes like the interdental fricatives /θ/ and /ð/, which have no direct equivalents in Uzbek, and the diphthongs that contrast with Uzbek’s monophthongal vowel system. Additionally, it explores how native Uzbek prosodic patterns – characterized by syllable-timed rhythm and predictable final-syllable stress – interfere with the stress-timed rhythm and variable stress placement in English, often leading to mispronunciations that affect intelligibility in communication. Drawing on a wide array of linguistic theories, including Metrical Phonology (Liberman & Prince, 1977) and Rhythm Typology (Dauer, 1983), as well as empirical studies from sources like Athanasopoulou et al. (2020) and Ismailova (2022), the article synthesizes findings from acoustic analyses, perceptual experiments, and classroom observations. It further discusses pedagogical strategies to mitigate these challenges, such as contrastive analysis exercises that highlight cross-linguistic differences, targeted phonetic training programs involving minimal pairs and shadowing techniques, and the integration of modern technological tools like speech recognition software (e.g., ELSA Speak or Praat for acoustic visualization) and online platforms for interactive pronunciation practice.
