However, in foreign language study to discuss the teaching problem is obviously less than other studies. Contrast English pronunciation with Chinese pronunciation is a good method for English learners. But, when contrast these two languages in teaching process, a lot of unclearly parlances are made out. For example, someone said if you can speak a standard Putonghua you also could speak a standard English. Thats wrong, although there are many similarities between them there also have many differences. And these two languages all have their specialized language system and pronunciation rules. This thesis emphasizes to contrast these two language on pronunciation rules and articulation places from the syllable, vowel and final, consonant and initial, articulation and intonation, etc., aims at helping more and more Chinese EFL learners correct the English pronunciation.Key words: syllable; vowel; consonant; articulation; intonationI. IntroductionAs we know, conventionally, linguist has broken language down into three main components: pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. Among them, pronunciation is the key point of English learning, an also a difficult point at the same time. However, it is clear that foreign language teaching research overemphasize on grammatical rules and very much neglect the importance of pronunciation teaching. It is thought that attaching importance to pronunciation has a great effect on English learning for Chinese English learners. This paper is on the basis of the theory of language transfer, comparing Chinese Putonghua with English and contrasting the similarity and difference between them. All of them are based on elaborate theory, by means of reading large relevant papers and works, analyses and discussion the examples, and then makes detailed explanations.II. The essence of language transfer According to D.P. Ausubels Transfer Theory (1986), transfer is a kind of cognitive behavior, reflected the active psychological process of individuals. Some researchers (冯忠良，1992；姚海林，1994) generalized that transfer is a acquired experience in one learning and the effect on another learning, an integrated process of new and old experience. Substantially, it is a process of forming new cognitive structure, which by mutually affecting and acting between previous cognitive structure and new learning. Transfer is the mutually influence in different learning, it has kinds of contents and types. That is to say, transfer also exists in language learning. At this point, we know that language transfer includes the transfer in different languages and the transfer in one language interior. That is inter-language transfer and intra-language transfer. For example, the transfer between Chinese and English belongs to inter-language transfer; the transfer in English vocabulary and reading comprehension or English writing belongs to intra-language transfer. To sum up, the effect of previous language knowledge on new language knowledge learning is language transfer. Whatever inter-language transfer or intra-language transfer, there exists positive or negative assimilative transfer. The transfer that promoting the learning of new knowledge is called positive tran
