Reflexões sobre o papel do ensino da fonética e fonologia para aprendizagem da língua inglesa na educação básica

Abstract

In Brazil, English is taught as a foreign language (FL), and its mastery, especially in oral skills, is seen as a significant differentiator in a globalized world. However, language learning, especially with regard to pronunciation, presents challenges that are widely felt by both teachers and students in the Brazilian educational context. Considering this context, the teaching of phonetics and phonology emerges as subjects that assist the FL teaching process. Given this, the present work aims to: identify the importance of phonetics and phonology in teaching the English language. In order to achieve the central objective of this study, qualitative research was developed with a bibliographical approach, with the main authors: Souza, M. O. P (2009; Alves U. K (2015); Reis, V. G. M. (2023); Ferraz, D . Amorim, G. (2024); Rio, M. M. O.; Nicolaides, C. S. (2019), among others, the present study found that. phonetics and phonology must go together in the process of teaching the English language in basic education based on the practical applications associated with teaching pronunciation, involving the development of conversation in English for students who do not speak this native language.
