Uma proposta para o desenvolvimento da pronúncia em língua inglesa: experiência vivenciada em uma escola pública de ensino no decorrer do programa residência pedagógica

Abstract

This academic research has the general goal to analyze the development of English pronunciation of students at a specific regular secondary school. The proposal was that students were tested with audio recordings before and after being exposed to classes that focused on this aspect of the language, pronunciation, in order to verify whether they would develop competence in correctly pronouncing words or expressions in English Language. As a parameter to measure the development in pronunciation, these students were compared with others who were not exposed to these same classes. The study was based on some theorists or researchers in this subject, such as O'Conner (1980), Harmer (2001 and 2010), Babboni (2017) and Tucunduva (2014) who were relevant in this research. The methodology used in this study in terms of approach, was predominantly of qualitative and ethnographic nature, and, in terms of data collection procedures, it is characterized as an action research. The results achieved in this research were satisfactory with a good performance in the development of most students after the analysis of the initial and final data obtained.
