Promoting Learners Pronunciation Throught The Use Of The Authentic Materials Case Study for First Year Students at the English Department, Ibn Khaldoun University, Tiaret.

Abstract

The current master study explores the pronunciation issues that first-year university students encounter when speaking English and looks for the most effective teaching strategies. The study is centered on assessing students' incorrectly articulated faults using a recording of students' speech, in addition to a questionnaire and an interview given to a number of 50 students from the English department to highlight the primary causes behind students' errors. The statistics collected show that universitylevel techniques are not truly sufficient to improve students' pronunciation; what is required is the utilization of authentic materials as real instructional resources, which may have a significant impact on students' oral.
