Investigating The Teaching Practices Of Algerian Efl Teachers In Phonetics And Phonology : Focus On Pronunciation Models



Authors : Boudersa Nassira .

Abstract

This research investigates Algerian EFL teachers’ use of Received Pronunciation and General American English systems of pronunciation in teaching English phonetics and phonology as model references. The participants in the study were eight teachers of English phonetics and phonology in the academic year 2018-2019. A questionnaire was administered to the sample. The results show that Received Pronunciation is the main model used as a reference in the teachers’ teaching practices. The results of the study call for serious re-consideration of the situation in teaching English phonetics and phonology adopting RP models of pronunciation, while ignoring the American English pronunciation system despite its dominance.
