The article examines the conceptual and methodological foundations of developing phonetic competence in higher education. The transformation of contemporary language education and the increasing demands for effective intercultural communication require the modernization of pronunciation teaching and the integration of theoretical, practical, and psychological components of learning. In this context, phonetic competence is considered as an integrative system that combines phonological awareness, articulatory mastery, perceptual training, and reflective self-monitoring.
The study analyzes modern linguistic models explaining pronunciation acquisition, in particular the Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis and the Speech Learning Model, which clarify the role of native language interference in second language learning. Special attention is paid to the difficulties experienced by Ukrainian learners in mastering segmental and suprasegmental features of English pronunciation.
It has been proven that effective phonetic training in higher education should move beyond traditional imitative methods toward humanistic, competence-based, and technology-enhanced approaches. The integration of articulatory awareness, perception-oriented instruction, gamification, cooperative learning, and real-life professional contexts significantly increases functional intelligibility and learner autonomy. The article emphasizes the importance of explicit phonetic instruction for future language teachers, philologists, and interpreters, whose professional activity requires a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical pronunciation skills.
It is concluded that the development of phonetic competence in higher education requires a balanced integration of theoretical understanding, practical training, and psychological awareness, supported by both traditional linguistic foundations and modern technological tools.
