Making Pre-service Teachers of English Aware of Intelligibility in Foreign Language Pronunciation: A non-empirical study

Abstract

Pre-service teachers in Chile are still trained to promote the emulation of native speakers when teaching pronunciation in the foreign language classroom, even though the curriculum proposes a communicative approach to the teaching of English as Foreign Language. This study is a reflection about the remaining negative ideas about foreign accent and the promotion of pedagogies that include learners’ identities and agency when learning pronunciation in the English Foreign language classroom.
