Pronunciation
Factors that affect pronunciation learning
Intelligibility
Is
Being understood by a listener at a given time in a given situation
Is the same as ´understandability´
The more words a listener is able to identify accurately when said by a particular speaker, the more intelligible that speaker is
Factors affecting intelligibility
Intelligibility is
Dependent on ´counts of sameness´but other aspects of speech can affect person´s intelligibility
If
A learner´s speech is full of self-corrections, hesitations and gramatical restructurings
Then
Listeners will tend to find what he says difficult to follow

Some sounds substitutions are not very serious and the chances that the listener identified the word are good.

In coping with a new set of sounds, learners use a variety of strategies
Some ways of coping may lead to success, others will lead to problems
Learner pronunciation strategies which can lead to intelligibility problems
Foreing speakers need to be intelligible so that they can communicate
It involves
More than simply sending a set of well-produced sounds into the air at your listener
Also
Communication involves reading the other´s intentions

Pronunciation goals
The learners role
Success in pronunciation will depend on how much effort the learner puts into it.
It means that
If learners take no action and do not try to monitor their own efforts
Then
The prospects of change or improvement are minimal.
The great majority of learners will have a very practical purpose for learning English and will derive no particular benefit from aquiring a native like pronunciation.
Who wants to aquire a native accent
Learners who plan to become teachers of English
However
For the mayority of learners a far more reasonable goal is to be comfortably intelligible.
It is significant that
We can make a distinction between

The native language
This applies not only to the individual sounds but also to combinations of sounds and features
Such as
Rhythm and intonation
The more diferences there are, the more difficulties the learner will have in pronouncing English
The age factor
Speaking with a foreing language is only a ´problem´if it leads to a breakdown in communication
