Does explicit feedback on pronunciation help EFL students in improving their pronunciation?Samenvatting
Teaching pronunciation seems to be one of the trickiest parts of teaching a language. How do we
teach pronunciation? How can we correct students’ pronunciation if it is not correct? One method of
doing this is using explicit phonological feedback, meaning correcting students on the spot and in an
explicit manner so they know what part of their utterance is incorrect. The students in this research
were first taught one pronunciation lesson, in which six elements of pronunciation were taught. After
this lesson, they were given explicit phonological feedback during three weeks of lessons as
necessary. After the research period, students were tested to see if their pronunciation has
improved. The students’ pronunciation appears to have improved during the trial period of three
weeks regarding these six selected phonemes.
