In learning a foreign language, accurate pronunciation is an important part of learning any foreign language. Accurate pronunciation is especially important when non-native students are trained to be English language teachers. Good pronunciation is more than just mastering individual sounds since it also requires understanding intonation, stress, pitch and junctures. In this respect, first things first, two functional issues come to the stage: Spelling pronunciation versus relaxed pronunciation. Spelling pronunciation depends on the use of a pronunciation that is based on spelling that includes common pronunciation of the silent vowel and consonant letters. The converse of spelling pronunciation is pronunciation spelling which produces the creation of a new spelling form on the basis of pronunciation. In this study, the contrastive positioning of spelling pronunciation versus pronunciation spelling in English words, phrases, clauses, and sentences will be analyzed to train the English teachers.  \nKeywords: spelling pronunciation, relaxed pronunciation, pronunciation spelling, eye dialect, metaplasmus  \nIntroduction  \nLanguage policies are administrated so as to provide the transmittance of language changes from one time to another and from one generation to another. Socio-linguistically speaking, language policies are enforced by sociolinguistic and technical changes which must be documented in time. Spelling reform is a specific case of educational policy. Because of many borrowed words in English, spelling of English has become chaotic; therefore, over the years it had undergone spelling reforms since English was losing its quality of alphabetic principle by and by. Samuel Johnson in the 18th century was one of the first spelling reformers. Another remarkable spelling reformer in the United States is said to be the lexicographer was Noah Webster, who introduced many simplified spellings in his dictionaries. Many of his spelling proposals were preferred and have become standard in the United States. Borrowing created many irregularities in spelling and pronunciation of words. To keep  \n1 Ufuk University, Prof. Dr. [0000-0002-4061-4715], [mehmet.demirezen@ufuk.edu.tr](mehmet.demirezen@ufuk.edu.tr)  \nEnglish spelling and pronunciation regular, spelling needed to be amended to account for the language changes.  \nLanguages develop in the course of time and create changes in their pronunciation and spelling and pronunciation. That’s why Webster's New World College Dictionary (2005) defines spelling pronunciation (henceforth, SP) as “A pronunciation of a word that differs from the historically established one, arising on the basis of the word's spelling.” Two of these changes are known as SPand pronunciation spelling (henceforth, PR) . The changes created by them lead to the language evolution in the course of time by affecting both children and adults. What is a SP in one generation often becomes standard for the forthcoming generation. In essence, it involves spelling words as they sound. It must be noted right from the beginning that, because the written forms of SP, PS, and Eye dialect (henceforth, ED) do look strange, they astonish the nonnative speakers.  \n“The most well-known effect that spelling can have on phonemic representation is spelling pronunciation” (Skousen, 1980, p.184) .
