Opis:
The main aim of this thesis is to ascertain the Polish secondary school teachers’ and students’ views and attitudes towards pronunciation teaching and learning, as well as investigate what role pronunciation may play in Poland’s secondary schools. The data discussed in the study were obtained through a combination of various procedures, namely questionnaires, observations, an oral test and an interview. The two questionnaires were designed, for both secondary school students and teachers and were completed by a large population of 330 students and 40 teachers of English. Apart from approaching the issue from a wider perspective, the research group of 17 students and their teacher of English was selected to provide a closer outlook at the secondary school environment. The students were observed, completed the questionnaire and took part in the oral test, whereas the teacher was interviewed. The present paper consists of three themed chapters, divided into subchapters. The first is devoted to the review of the relevant literature, the second outlines the specific data gathering tools used in the research and finally, the third presents the analysis and comparison of the findings and answers the research questions. The study presents, in detail, the Polish secondary school students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards pronunciation teaching, but also suggests that pronunciation is neglected in the Polish secondary schools providing a lot of reasons, as enumerated by the teachers questioned.
Głównym celem niniejszej pracy było zbadanie postaw nauczycieli i uczniów wobec nauki wymowy w szkole średniej, jak również stwierdzenie, jaką rolę pełni wymowa w szkołach ponadgimnazjalnych. Metodyka badań obejmowała szereg różnych procedur, w skład których wchodziły: dwie ankiety, obserwacje, test wymowy oraz wywiad. Ankiety skierowane były zarówno do nauczycieli jak i uczniów szkół średnich. Ostatecznie 330 uczniów i 40 nauczycieli uzupełniło kwestionariusze, co pozwoliło na analizę badań na szeroką skalę. Ponadto wyodrębniono grupę badawczą składającą się z 17 uczniów oraz ich nauczyciela języka angielskiego. Grupa ta, oprócz uzupełnienia ankiet, została poddana obserwacjom. Uczniowie wzięli także udział w teście wymowy, natomiast z nauczycielem został przeprowadzony wywiad. Wszystkie te czynności pozwoliły na uzyskanie dokładnego obrazu nauki wymowy w szkole średniej i umożliwiły na dokonanie szczegółowej analizy zebranych danych. Praca ta składa się z trzech rozdziałów tematycznych podzielonych na podrozdziały. Pierwszy stanowi część teoretyczną i zawiera przegląd literatury dotyczącej pojęcia, jak również nauki wymowy. Następny zawiera szczegółowy opis metod użytych w badaniu wraz z rzetelną charakterystykę uczestników badania. Z kolei trzeci poświęcony jest analizie oraz porównaniu wyników, a także odpowiada na postawione pytania badawcze. Niniejsza praca przedstawia poglądy i postawy zarówno nauczycieli jak i uczniów wobec nauki wymowy w szkole średniej. Ponadto sugeruje, że nauka wymowy w szkole średniej jest zaniedbywana, powołując się na opinie nauczycieli szkół średnich biorących udział w badaniu.

Teaching Pronunciation in English File, Upstream and New Matura Solutions - Coursebook Evaluation
Nauczanie wymowy w English File, Upstream i New Matura Solutions - analiza podręczników
Autorzy:
Wieczorek, Karolina
Opis:
The thesis reports on a study which examines teaching pronunciation in general-skills coursebooks used in Polish secondary schools. The coursebooks evaluated were the three most popular coursebooks currently used in schools, i.e. New Matura Solutions, English File and Upstream. The main aim of the study was to find out the differences between the three coursebooks in teaching pronunciation. The data was collected by means of an evaluative checklist which investigated pronunciation tasks in the coursebooks. In addition, 30 teachers from Polish secondary schools were surveyed in order to check what their personal opinions about the coursebooks are. The study revealed considerable discrepancies in teaching pronunciation. Pronunciation tasks offered by each of the coursebooks differ in structure and their content. In sum, English File is considered to be the best coursebook in teaching pronunciation. New Matura Solutions lacks in sufficient variety of tasks; however, Upstream does not offer pronunciation tasks at all. Teachers’ opinions about the coursebooks seem to confirm the results from coursebook evaluation.The thesis consists of two sections: theoretical and practical one. The first section is divided into four chapters and the second one into two chapters. The first chapter discusses the role, advantages and limitations of coursebooks in foreign language education. The second chapter deals with coursebook evaluation as a research method. The third chapter provides an outline of research revealing current approaches to teaching pronunciation. The forth chapter is a review of studies in which coursebook evaluation is used as a research method. The practical section begins with the chapter presenting the research questions which are investigated in this study. Then, terms used in the study are explained and rationale of the research is given. The chapter also discusses the research method and research procedure of the study. The following chapter presents the results of the coursebook evaluation study, which are then discussed. There are also some limitations of the study revealed. Moreover, some recommendations for coursebook designers are given and further studies are suggested.
Niniejsza praca magisterska przedstawia badanie mające na celu ocenę najpopularniejszych podręczników do języka angielskiego używanych w Polskich szkołach ponadgimnazjalnych pod kątem nauczania wymowy angielskiej. Ocenione zostały następujące podręczniki: New Matura Solutions, English File oraz Upstream. Badanie miało na celu wykazać różnice w nauczaniu wymowy przez poszczególne podręczniki. Dane zostały zebrane za pomocą ankiety sprawdzającej, która badała ćwiczenia dotyczące tylko wymowy. Ponadto, przeankietowano trzydziestu nauczycieli języka angielskiego w polskich szkołach ponadgimnazjalnych w celu wykazania ich opinii na temat podręczników, o których mowa. Badanie wykazało dość dużą rozbieżność w nauczaniu wymowy przez trzy badane podręczniki. Ćwiczenia dotyczące wymowy w każdym podręczniku różnią się pod względem budowy i zawartości. W sumie, English File okazał się najlepszym podręcznikiem w zakresie nauczania wymowy. New Matura Solutions nie dostarcza wystarczającej zróżnicowanej ilości ćwiczeń wymowy, a Upstream nie zawiera żadnych. Wyniki z ankiety przeprowadzonej na nauczycielach wydają się potwierdzać wyniki z analizy podręczników.Praca składa się z dwóch głównych części: teoretycznej i praktycznej. Ta pierwsza dzieli się na cztery rozdziały, natomiast ta druga na dwa. Pierwszy rozdział omawia rolę podręcznika w nauczaniu oraz jego zalety i wady. Drugi rozdział zajmuje się opisem metody oceniania podręcznika jako metody badawczej; natomiast trzeci stara się przedstawić obecne teorie na temat nauczania wymowy. Ostatni czyli czwarty rozdział części teoretycznej jest przeglądem badań, których celem była ewaluacja podręcznika. Pierwszy rozdział części praktycznej przedstawia pytania badawcze. W tym rozdziale wyjaśniono również terminy używane w badaniu oraz przedstawiono uzasadnienie zajęcia się oceną podręczników w zakresie wymowy. Ponadto, w rozdziale przedstawiono metodę badania oraz opisano procedurę. Kolejny rozdział zajmuje się przedstawieniem wyników badania i ich omówieniem. Przedstawiono również pewne ograniczenia badania. Ponadto, wysunięte zostały pewne sugestie dla autorów podręczników języka angielskiego oraz zasugerowano kontynuację badań.

Opis:
The paper presents the results of analysis of free phonemic variation in word phonemic structures in RP as its striking feature. Alternative pronunciation variants of words are created by vowels, consonants, and a combination of both when in free variation in a segmental composition of words. Free phonemic variation is conditioned by the position / phonetic environment of the alternating phoneme(s) in a word. The positional specification of free phonemic variation and the operation of a number of other factors substantiate the inner systemic character of free phoneme variation in the composition of English words in PR. EFL learners should be aware of existing alternative variants of words and their liability for change in the course of time.

Opis:
Within the communicative approach to English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching, the aims of instruction are primarily to enable learners to communicate; hence, functional and communicative intelligibility has become the goal of pronunciation training. On the other hand, contemporary approaches to EFL teaching leave sufficient room for accommodating the individual learner and contextual factors which largely influence the choice of the target pronunciation models. Moreover, in a globalized world, where English has become a contemporary lingua franca for intercultural communication, the pronunciation norms of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) appear to meet the needs and expectations of learners of English in international settings, coexisting with or replacing native-speaker pronunciation models as the target of instruction. The ELF approach and the Lingua Franca Core elaborated by Jenkins (2000, 2002) have aroused controversy among both researchers and EFL teachers. The paper presents the findings of a questionnaire study involving 234 Polish students, English majors, which aimed to determine their preferences and opinions concerning native-speaker and ELF norms as pronunciation instruction targets. The findings revealed a strong preference for native-like pronunciation models in the subjects’ own language development and a less strong preference for such models in pronunciation teaching at all levels of proficiency. Moreover, the results pointed to the significant role played by the intensity of pronunciation training and the level of awareness of native-speaker pronunciation models in shaping the subjects’ attitudes toward native-like and ELF pronunciation norms.

Opis:
This paper aims to provide insights into the role of curriculum design and teaching materials in the development of English pronunciation skills in EFL contexts. One of the main contextual factors negatively affecting the development of pronunciation abilities of EFL learners relates to the ‘often-unchanging’ curriculum design and the ‘blind’ choice of teaching materials without regard to students’ needs and goals. This study utilises structured interviews and focus group discussions (N=2 sessions) to elicit the views of a group (N=71) of third- and fourth-year English-major students at a university college in Saudi Arabia on the appropriateness of the curriculum design and teaching materials to their learning expectations in the area of English pronunciation. The results show that the great majority of students spoke unfavourably about the overall curriculum and teaching materials and considered those to be among the obstacles that they encounter in their learning of English pronunciation. This finding raises the question of curriculum design of English language teaching programs and the extent to which these curricula meet the needs of learners. The study suggests that a reformation of the structure of the curriculum in the study context is urgently needed and that more involvement of students’ perspectives on the design of curricula is of major importance.

This paper focuses on the use of phonetic notation in foreign language teaching and learning. The aim of the paper is twofold: first, we review some of the potential advantages that the use of phonetic notation seems to have in language teaching and learning; and secondly, the paper reports on learner views obtained with a questionnaire anonymously filled in by EFL (English as a foreign language) learners in tertiary education who followed an English course where an extensive use of phonetic symbols was made for pronunciation work in Finland, France and Spain. The results suggest that learners were relatively familiar with phonetic notation prior to their course although there were differences between countries. Phonetic notation was perceived positively by a majority of learners, particularly in terms of its perceived potential for raising awareness of the target language’s pronunciation features and its potential to visually represent sounds. Learners’ answers were also mostly positive regarding the potential of phonetic notation for autonomous learning, as well as the perceived ease and usefulness of phonetic notation.

Opis:
This article discusses the assessment of pronunciation instruction under a new approach to pronunciation teaching centered on the role of connected speech in the prosodic system of English. It also offers a detailed discussion of various empirical problems in teaching-oriented L2 pronunciation research and suggests ways of addressing them in intervention studies. A new explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was developed for this study, which was used to assess 10 advanced EFL learners in Germany before and after 13 weeks of instruction. The results revealed co-occurring developments in learners’ use of prosody and connected speech in line with the rationale of the approach. The findings lead to various implications for language teaching and assessment. For future research, ways are suggested to increase the validity and predictiveness of L2 pronunciation research from both empirical and pedagogical perspectives.

The aim of the present paper is to reflect upon the place of pronunciation in English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching at different educational levels in Poland. To collect the data, an on-line survey was conducted among EFL professionals teaching at primary, lower secondary, and higher secondary schools in Poland. The questions focused on the respondents’ beliefs about pronunciation, teachers’ competences regarding pronunciation and pronunciation teaching, and the pronunciation teaching techniques they use. The results depict the most and least frequently used pronunciation teaching techniques at each of the three educational stages, and the beliefs of EFL teachers in Poland regarding pronunciation teaching.

ABSTRACT   Numerous studies (e.g. Lipińska, 2014; Majer, 2002; Nowacka, 2003; Sobkowiak, 2002; Szpyra-Kozłowska, et al., 2002; Szpyra-Kozłowska, 2008; Waniek-Klimczak, 2002; Wrembel, 2002) have shown that although teaching L2 pronunciation is included in university curricula, it is at the same time virtually absent at lower stages of education. Moreover, it has been noticed that teaching phonetics to younger learners is advisable and may be really effective (e.g. Lipińska, in press a; Nixon and Tomlinson, 2005). Undoubtedly, one can say that there are a lot of books and courses designed for adults written by and for Polish learners of English (e.g. Porzuczek et al., 2013; Sawala et al., 2011) or dedicated to international users (e.g. Baker, 2006; Hancock, 2008; Hewings, 2010). But the materials and methods used while working with adult learners and university students are no longer applicable if one wants to teach phonetics in a different environment and create an attractive and efficient course for children or young teenagers, since, as e.g. Komorowska (2011) notices, each foreign language course has to be characterised by realistic goals and appropriate methods and components. The aim of this paper is to present various methods and materials which can be successfully applied while teaching English pronunciation to 11-13-year-olds. They have been used in three groups consisting of such L2 learners, and their usefulness and effectiveness have been proven by studies on both speech production and perception (e.g. Lipińska, in press b).

Opis:
The paper addresses a very important aspect of Polish-accented English, namely the issue of frequent phonetic errors made by Polish learners which do not result from their inability to produce foreign sounds correctly, but which stem from various interference factors (e.g foreign pronounced as [fo'rejn]). Following Szpyra-Kozłowska's (in press a) claims that such errors hinder successful communication far more than other segmental and suprasegmental inaccuracies and should thus be treated as a top pedagogical priority, what is suggested is a shift in phonetic instruction from the focus on the production of sounds and prosodies to the focus on the pronunciation of problematic words. Our major goal is to demonstrate how this proposal can be implemented in the language classroom.The authors present a report on the experiment in which a group of 25 Polish secondary school pupils has undergone a special training in the pronunciation of 50 commonly mispronounced words with the use of special, teacher-designed materials. The effectiveness of the employed procedure as well as the pupils' reactions to it are examined and pedagogical conclusions are drawn.
