Abstract

Kim, Jiyeon. ¡°A Study of the Effects of Explicit English Pronunciation Instruction on College Learners¡¯ Pronunciation Improvement.¡± Studies in English Language & Literature 47.2 (2021): 205-232. This study aims to explore the effects of explicit pronunciation instruction on Korean EFL learners¡¯ English pronunciation improvement. Nineteen college students, who were divided into two groups, an experimental group (12 students), and a control group (7 students), participated in this study. The former group took an English pronunciation teaching course for one semester, focused on correct production of consonants and vowels, and repeated practice of stress and intonation in dialogues or natural speech, while the latter group did not. After explicit instruction, five evaluators including two English native speakers rated the development in students¡¯ pronunciation skills based on a paragraph reading task, and also the researcher analyzed the pronunciation learning journals by 12 students to identify important changes in their pronunciation development. Results showed that EFL learners who received explicit pronunciation teaching significantly improve their pronunciation skills in terms of correctness, accentedness, and fluency both in segmental and suprasegmental features of English, and suggested that a long-term explicit pronunciation instruction be beneficial for enhancing their pronunciation development in the English classroom.
