The use of the weak form is a common fetaure of spoken english, however, in my teaching experience I've found that few chinese students actually use it when speaking english. One possible reason could be that they have never been taught weak froms, therefore, they don't have any idea what the weak form is and they do not use it in their speech. There are at least three reasons why teachers do not teach weak forms. First, teachers themselves don't know the weak forms very well. Second, even if they have some knowledge of weak forms, they don't know how to teach them. After all, it's easier to teach individual sounds, such as vowels and consonants, than weak forms. Although there are many material for teaching segmentals, materials for teaching weak forms are not readily available. Thirs, teachers' prejudices may prevent them from teaching weak forms. They may hold the view that weak forms are not as important as phonemes, so they don't want to take the trouble to teach them.
