IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING ERRORS IN LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGE PRONUNCIATION

Abstract

Accurate pronunciation is a fundamental component of communicative competence in foreign language learning. However, learners frequently encounter persistent pronunciation errors that affect intelligibility and confidence. This article provides a comprehensive examination of pronunciation errors in foreign language learning, focusing on their identification, causes, and effective correction strategies. Drawing on phonetic theory, applied linguistics, and classroom practice, the paper explores segmental and suprasegmental errors, diagnostic techniques, corrective feedback methods, and the role of technology and learner autonomy. Practical examples are included to illustrate how pronunciation instruction can be effectively integrated into foreign language classrooms. The article aims to support teachers and researchers by offering an in-depth, original, and internationally relevant discussion of pronunciation error management.
