This paper focuses on the phonological liaison challenges Chinese high-school EFL learners face. It analyzes the linguistic features of liaison and identifies difficulties such as insufficient targeted exercises, false imitation, and interference from the mother tongue. The teaching context in Chinese high-school classrooms is considered, where large class sizes and test-orientation pose obstacles. To address these, practical teaching strategies like step-by-step teaching, repetitive practice, and using communicative methods are proposed. Although there are challenges in resource shortage and teacher capacity, the proposed changes are feasible. This research aims to enhance students' English oral fluency and accuracy in liaison.
