Foreign Accent: An Approach From Top-Down And Bottom-Up L2 Pronunciation Instruction

Author : Karina Cerda

Abstract : This article examines the constructs of accent and foreign accent, considering native / non-native dichotomy. In this respect, we discuss pronunciation instruction from bottom-up and top-down orientations, linking it to the aforementioned dichotomy. Finally, we concluded with advice for pronunciation instructors interested in moving away from the native / non-native dichotomy.

Keywords : L2 pronunciation, pronunciation instruction, foreign accent.
