| dc.description.abstract | Despite the fact that connected speech aspects hold an important place in foreign language education, students‘ perceptions towards using those aspects to achieve phonologically accurate and intelligible pronunciation is still neglected within the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of M‘sila. The present study aims at investigating EFL students‘ perceptions towards the use of aspects of connected speech to achieve intelligible or native-like pronunciation. The study targets thirdyear students from the Department of English at the University of M‘sila. In order to achieve valid results, a triangulated research method was applied encompassing two data collection tools: A descriptive method was implemented via two questionnaires one is to third-year EFL students and the other is to Oral Expression teachers, a classroom observation of Oral Expression class at the same Department, and a diagnostic test . The obtained results have revealed that oral expression teachers do not make use of aspects of connected speech instruction. Additionally, EFL students do not have positive perception and phonological awareness towards the role of connected speech aspects. Henceforth, teachers of oral expression should integrate aspect of connected speech insights into their lessons for the sake of strengthening EFL students‘ phonological competence which is a crucial factor to avoid any sort of speech problems or speech misperception and misinterpretation. | en_US |
