Recommended: A quantitative study of the success of phonemic awareness

This chapter summarizes the current study and presents its conclusions and recommendations. The chapter begins with summarizing the results of the study, and then it presents some pedagogical recommendations for teachers. Finally, the suggestions for further research are provided. 5.1 Summary and Conclusions of the study English pronunciation is very important for ESL/EFL learners to improve their communication efficiency (Ahmad, 2011). Kharma and Hajjaj (1989) believed that it is essential for a L2 learner to become familiar with the L2 consonant system as their inability to produce the correct phonetic realization of a consonant phoneme may result in misunderstanding in oral communication or identified as a foreign accent. The current study …show more content…

Elements that are absent in students' L1 will be the most difficult part that require more emphasis. Accordingly, teachers have to start with phonemes and syllable patterns in the students' L1 then introduce the ones present only in L2 and make a comparison between them in order to reduce the number of predicted errors. - Learners should be given a basic knowledge of phonetics and phonology of both Arabic and English. - Teachers should carefully listen to students while speaking or reading and be aware of the common pronunciation problems they have in order to offer solutions and develop appropriate strategies that address the difficult sounds and thus reduce these difficulties. - As it is important to place strong emphasis on listening as a way into releasing appropriate pronunciation of English consonants and consonant clusters, teachers should have their students listen to proper pronunciation from authentic materials by making use of technology like recorded texts, electronic dictionaries that have vocal pronunciation of words, educational videos on You Tube, ESL applications and consequently have adequate input of

  • Phonological Variations In Spanish-Influenced English

    Spanish and English share a similar alphabet, with the Spanish sound system being more concise. Many differences are revealed when comparing the phonologies of the two languages. These differences will influence the speech of Spanish speakers learning English. Speakers may transfer their knowledge of Spanish to English. Understanding these differences is important to the speech-language pathologist in order to realize why some English sounds are more difficult for the Spanish speaker to produce than others (Gorman & Kester, 2001).

    The Framework states that a typical lesson will consist of oral work and mental calculation with the whole class for the first five to ten minutes of the lesson. This is seen as a warm up to motivate the children to practice and sharpen mental and oral skills, in preparation for the main teaching activity. It is suggested that the teacher should maintain a brisk pace, providing varied oral and mental activities throughout each week. Teachers should ensure that each child can see the teacher easily and interruptions should be avoided, encouraging all pupils to participate in the discussion. Teachers should avoid running over time, in order to move on to the next stage of the lesson.

  • Are Most of The Errors Which EFL Learners Make Due to Interference from Their L1?

    832 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is commonly assumed that where there are differences between L1 and L2, the learner's L1 will probably interfere with the L2 (negative language transfer), whereas, when L1 and L2 are similar, the L2 will assist the L2 learning (positive language transfer) (Ellis, 1994). Therefore, we tend to believe that most of the errors are account of negative transfer. This is partly true according to many empirical studies of errors which have showed that many errors are common to different linguistic backgrounds. The L1 is, therefore, one of various sources of errors, and there might be other reasons which should be considered (Krashen, 1988).

  • Phonemic Awareness

    927 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Institute of Literacy, Bursuck & Damer, Shapiro & Solity all concur that teaching phonemic awareness in a whole group setting is beneficial. To increase success, the authors established a need for extra support and differentiation lesson is also needed with the whole group. According to Shapiro, Solity (2008) Bursuck and Damer using whole group instruction “was beneficial if the teacher also used differentiated learning.” Along with whole group instruction, students would receive differentiated activities; students at a “lower reading achievement would be given more practice on the previously learned material, while higher achievement students would receive an opportunity to progress in new vocabulary or material” (p. 614). To support struggling students, Bursuck & Damer (2011) set up a similar system of a three-tier instruction where students receive extra support, depending on the students needs, in the company of the whole class instruct...

  • Pros and Cons of Using L1 in the Classroom

    On the other hand, teachers prefer using L1 for a more effective approach to teaching grammar and checking students’ understanding. Macaro (1997) commented that teachers often lack enthusiasm in using the target language for grammar explanation. Many students have difficulty in learning grammar, especially for those whose L1 system is entirely different from the TL. L1 can be more efficient, particularly when a teacher wants to discuss the learning contract with students, or tries to explore the needs of his/her students, especially those in the lower level (Harmer, 2007). Evidence provided by Harmer (2007) also indicates that the classroom environment can be enhanced through the use of L1 to establish a positive social relationship with students, which ultimately leads to a more effective teaching process.

  • English is the Most Important School Subject for Students to Learn

    1015 Words  | 3 Pages

    By assuming that students will learn proper communication skills without guidance is a big mistake. Individuals should begin learning basic communication skills at birth and continue learning throughout their educational experience. There are, of course, many types of communication. We use verbal communication, non-verbal communication, written communication and many different forms of. Additionally, communication plays an important role in the process of conveying knowledge as well. Communication is instrumental in education since it helps the instructor and the students to work together with each other. Communication is the most important component of any society. In order, to communicate properly we need correct pronunciation, because pronunciation affects how we understand the meaning of the words. If the sound of a word is different it could lead the listener to believe that the word has a different meaning, and if this happens, it is very obvious that it is a form of improper communication. This may lead to a lot of misinterpretations. To avoid these kinds of problems we need to teach accurate pronunciation. English, in schools, is a very important subject for teaching proper...
