Abstract

The paper addresses a very important aspect of Polish-accented English, namely the issue of frequent phonetic errors made by Polish learners which do not result from their inability to produce foreign sounds correctly, but which stem from various interference factors (e.g foreign pronounced as [fo’rejn]). Following Szpyra-Kozłowska’s (in press a) claims that such errors hinder successful communication far more than other segmental and suprasegmental inaccuracies and should thus be treated as a top pedagogical priority, what is suggested is a shift in phonetic instruction from the focus on the production of sounds and prosodies to the focus on the pronunciation of problematic words. Our major goal is to demonstrate how this proposal can be implemented in the language classroom. The authors present a report on the experiment in which a group of 25 Polish secondary school pupils has undergone a special training in the pronunciation of 50 commonly mispronounced words with the use of special, teacher-designed materials. The effectiveness of the employed procedure as well as the pupils’ reactions to it are examined and pedagogical conclusions are drawn.
英语发音指导
本文讨论了波兰口音英语的一个非常重要的方面,即波兰学习者经常犯语音错误的问题,这不是由于他们不能正确地发出外国音,而是源于各种干扰因素(例如,外国发音为[fo 'rejn])。Szpyra-Kozłowska(在新闻稿a中)声称,这些错误对成功沟通的阻碍远远超过其他音段和超音段的不准确,因此应被视为教学的重中之重,因此建议将语音教学的重点从声音和韵律的产生转向关注有问题的单词的发音。我们的主要目标是演示如何在语言课堂中实施这一建议。作者提出了一份关于实验的报告,在实验中,一组25名波兰中学生使用教师设计的特殊材料,接受了50个常读错的单词发音的特殊训练。所采用的程序的有效性以及学生对它的反应进行检查,并得出教学结论。
