Foreign language pronunciation instruction
in a communicative language teaching context:
amounts, practices and beliefs
The aim of this research was to examine three important
components of foreign language pronunciation instruction
and the connections between them: amount, actual practices,
and teachers’ beliefs. The data consisted of 45 video-recorded
lessons in French-as-a-foreign-language in six secondary
schools in Norway and semistructured interviews conducted
with the same teachers whose instruction was previously
video-recorded. The video-recorded lessons were analysed
for amount and actual practices of pronunciation instruction
and the interviews were analysed for teachers’ background
in and beliefs about phonetics and pronunciation pedagogy.
Results indicated that: (1) on average, pronunciation
instruction accounted for a very small part of the teaching
time (less than 2%); (2) despite the emphasis on segmentals
and suprasegmentals in pronunciation teaching literature,
explicit teaching of segmental and suprasegmental features
of speech was rare in the recorded material; (3) there is a
need for more training in and knowledge of phonetics and
pronunciation pedagogy. These findings might be used
to address concerns regarding the role of pronunciation
instruction in foreign language teaching and to define factors
that may account for the difficulty of making pronunciation
instruction an integral part of language teaching.
