Professionally-oriented pronunciation sub-skills are formed as part of professional pronunciation skills and phonetic methodological skills which are included into professional phonetic competence of future English teachers.The effectiveness of the methodology of forming students' professionally-oriented pronunciation sub-skills was verified during the experimental teaching.
