Addressing pronunciation in the L2 classroom : best practices
Subject Area
Foreign Language Pedagogy
Abstract
While foreign language methods offer a listening panel to their programs, students complete these exercises with various results. It is striking that some students hear and discern the target-language better than others.Research clearly indicates that students who are unable to express themselves in L2 with a minimum of accuracy in their pronunciation, will not do well with native speakers, as communication will easily breakdown (Hirschfeld & Trouvain, 2007). The aim of this paper is to look at what researchers currently suggest is best practice for handling pronunciation exercises so that all of our students can be successful.
L2 speakers.
