How to teach english pronunciation 
Go over the basic rules of english phonics. 
Start with the english pronunciation of the latin alphabet. Distinguish vowels and consonants, and note that every syllable in every word must contain a vowel (note that " y " sometimes count as a vowel).
Discuss general rules for recognizing whether vowels are long or short, and note exceptions. For instance, explain that a vowel in a 1-syllable word that ends in a consonant is usually short, as in " bad, " " bed, " " sit, " " log, " and " but.
