Abstract

English is in prevalence nowadays. Though Lingua Franca Core (LFC) is not totally formed and regarded as a mature model, it can have some advantages and be put into practice at the current stages. Teachers should all target for a multilingual environment and focus on the core features of pronunciation, primary stress, and articulatory settings. If the teachers are native English speakers, they should be more careful to students' pronunciation as they may neglect the importance of this part and overemphasize word stress, rhythm, and intonation. Though LFC has its own research target learners, it may well be beneficial to most learners to some degree. No matter these learners are native people or non-native people, they may not have an excellent command on pronunciation, so learners may learn some new phonological knowledge taught with content in LFC.
