Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether using pyramid and chain drills could
effectively solve English consonant pronunciation problems of Lao students.
The subjects of the study were 18 second-year English majors in the Faculty of Education
at the National University of Laos. The research instruments consisted of the pre- and
post-tests and the lesson plans containing pyramid and chain drills
emphasizing eight target consonant sounds. The data were analyzed by the Excel Data
Analysis Tool Pack (T-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means).
The results of this study indicated that pyramid and chain drills could effectively solve
English consonant pronunciation problems of the sophomores in the Faculty of Education
at the National University of Laos. The consonant pronunciation of the subjects after the treatment significantly improved at P<0.001.
