Teaching linguistic subjects is always a challenge for English teachers, no matter how old and experienced they are. In her paper, the writer focuses on the teaching of Phonetics and Phonology to English majors. With some humble experience in this job, she attempts to identify her specific problems in teaching the subject, ones that pertain to the study programme, her students’ attitudes towards the subject as well as its nature.
