how does arabic influence the pronunciation of english?
DESCRIPTION
When we learn to speak another language, we must acquire some new sounds and strategies. We may also have to reset how and when we employ stress and timing. Much of this slidedeck accompanied a webinar given by Peggy Tharpe, M.A. TESOL, Monterey Institute of International Studies, to Professor Hala Fawzi's CALL class at Yanbu University College, Saudi Arabia, on teaching methods and strategies that help Arabic speakers adjust their sound in English. http://AmericanPronunciationCoach.comTRANSCRIPT
