ABSTRACT
Quality of teachers has always been paid great attention to, especially that of primary school teachers, who play the most influential role in students’ elementary learning. In 2001, as the new National English Curriculum requires that English should be taught from Grade 3 in primary schools, a new type of primary school English teachers named “transferred teachers” came into being. Transferred teachers are those non-English-major primary school teachers who shift to teach English after graduation from a training program called “In-service Training for Transferred Teachers”. By far, these teachers have been teaching English for over four years, but there have been few follow-up researches on their pronunciation up till now. The present study investigates on the pronunciation of transferred teachers concerning consonants and vowels. The goal is to find out whether these teachers, who have received only 3-week compulsory residential training and a year long optional school-based training, are making progress and competent for elementary English teaching.
As time was limited, six transferred teachers were chosen as our subjects. The study was carried out on the basis of the analysis of the errors on the recorded material of the English utterance borne out by these transferred teachers.

中文摘要
教師素質一直都備受關注,特別是小學教師的素質更是如此,因為小學教師在學生初級階段的學習起著舉足輕重的作用。于2001年,應新英語課程標準的要求,英語要從小學三年級教起,因此,一種被稱為“轉崗教師”的小學英語教師產生了。“轉崗教師”是指從在職轉崗培訓畢業后從事小學英語教學的非英語專業教師。至今為止,這些老師已經從事小學英語教育有四年多了,但很少關于這些轉崗老師語音的后續調查。本研究基于轉崗教師的語音情況,求證這些只受過三周英語專業培訓和一年的在職培訓的轉崗教師是否有所進步且能勝任于小學英語教學。
由于時間有限,在1102名轉崗教師中,6名被選為本研究的受試。本研究是通過給六位老師的英語口頭表達錄音,并對錄音進行其錯誤分析。
