Publication Open Access Pronunciation anxiety, pronunciation-related views and pronunciation learning actions of EMI and english major students(University of Lodz, 2023) Gómez Lacabex, Esther; Roothooft, Hanne; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza ZientziakThe present study explored pronunciation views, learning actions and anxiety in two differentiated English learner groups: one group which was studying English in an engineering degree and another group enrolled in an English major degree. The results froma questionnaire and focus group sessions revealed that the groups share some views such as a wish to improve their English pronunciation and adherence to native pronunciation references as well as pronunciation learning actions such as watching series ortalking to native speakers. However, we also observed significant differences between the groups as the English major students tended to view pronunciation learning as a discipline, while the engineering students saw it as a communicative skill. The English majors also exhibited more pronunciation anxiety, specifically fear of ridicule and worry of making mistakes. They also revealed more anxiety-related themes in the focus group discussions such as worry about their pronunciation, pronunciation shame or unease because they do not know how to pronounce a word or cannot understand. Finally, the English major group was also more demanding of lecturers¿ accurate pronunciation. These results suggest that differences regarding English pronunciation anxiety between different learner profiles may need to be considered during their English language learning progress.Publication Open Access Pronunciation in EMI: conceptualization, interlocutor anxiety and attitudes towards lecturer speech(Equinox Publishing, 2023) Gómez Lacabex, Esther; Roothooft, Hanne; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza ZientziakThe consolidation of English as a global language has brought with it the need to reconceptualise aspects such as English pronunciation, which seems to be experiencing a detachment from the native norm and the integration of multicultural identities. EMI students have been reported to favour intelligibility over accurate pronunciation, as they represent a community of learners for whom English is a tool rather than a target. As previous research has reported that pronunciation may be an anxiety factor for students in speaking exchanges, this study explored how 126 EMI students envision the learning of pronunciation, their attitudes towards EMI teachers¿ pronunciation and their pronunciation anxiety upon interaction with different interlocutors in their EMI context: teachers, local peers, L1 English international peers and L2 English international peers. The data from a questionnaire and focus groups revealed that these EMI learners conceptualize pronunciation as a communication tool rather than a subject to be learnt; they revealed that they do not experience uneasiness during lessons owing to their lecturers¿ pronunciation, expressing that fluency is more important than pronunciation accuracy. Finally, they showed more pronunciation anxiety if the interlocutor was the teacher or an L1 English speaker than if it was a local peer or L2 English speaker.Publication Open Access The effects of oral corrective feedback and language anxiety on pronunciation development(Universidad de Sevilla, 2019) Luquin Urtasun, María; Roothooft, Hanne; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza ZientziakSi bien una gran cantidad de estudios han demostrado que la retroalimentación correctiva oral (RC) es efectiva para la adquisición de la gramática en un idioma extranjero, muy pocos se han centrado en el impacto de la RC en el desarrollo de la pronunciación. Además, escasea la investigación de RC que tenga en cuenta las diferencias individuales, como la ansiedad en el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. Por lo tanto, el presente estudio investigó los efectos de las reformulaciones y la retroalimentación metalingüística sobre la pronunciación de la terminación de pasado -ed, comparando 30 estudiantes de ansiedad alta y baja con un nivel A2 + de inglés en una escuela secundaria de España. Un diseño pretest/post-test consistente en una lectura en voz alta y una narración fue llevado a cabo con un grupo de reformulación (n=10), un grupo de retroalimentación metalingüística (n=10) y un grupo de control (n=10). Cada uno de los tres grupos fue subdividido en un grupo de ansiedad alta (n = 5) y otro de ansiedad baja (n = 5). Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre el grupo de reformulación y el grupo de control, lo cual confirma investigación previa que demuestra que las reformulaciones son beneficiosas para el desarrollo de la pronunciación. Sin embargo, a pesar de ciertas indicaciones de que los estudiantes con ansiedad baja se beneficiaron más de la RC, y los estudiantes con ansiedad elevada parecieron beneficiarse especialmente de las reformulaciones, no se pudieron identificar diferencias significativas entre los grupos de ansiedad en este estudio.
