Phonetics is one of the most fundamental issues of language teaching. Since every language has its distinctive phonetic features, new language learners often encounter difficulties familiarizing themselves with phonetic rules. Some papers even indicate that fossilization phenomena might exist in the pronunciation of intermediate learners. Since phonological awareness is related to linguistic ability, the main goal of this paper is to investigate the phonetic errors of intermediate native English learners of Mandarin. After conducting a diagnosis of common phonetic errors, a teaching model will be presented. Utilizing case studies as the proposed framework, systemic phonetic errors of learners are identified. The result shows that systemic errors of learners occur in tones(聲調). They are unable to make clear distinctions between the third and the second/fourth tones. Systemic errors occur in finals(韻母)y, an, ən, ɑ ŋ, əŋ, and in initials(聲母) tɕi, tɕʰi, ɕi and tʂʅ, tʂʰʅ, ʂʅ. Through the analysis of the recordings of oral interviews and written material reading, this study suggests that phonetic errors of intermediate learners differ from those of basic learners. And a teaching model is presented accordingly in the end.
