Verifying a holistic multimodal approach to pronunciation training of intermediate Polish learners of English

Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2016, Vol 40, Issue 40

Abstract

The paper is an attempt to verify empirically a holistic multimodal approach to pronunciation training developed by Szpyra-Kozłowska (2015). It reports on a phonodidactic experiment carried out with two groups of Polish secondary school intermediate learners of English and demonstrates that the tested procedure is both more effective that the traditional imitation tasks and more attractive to the participants, as shown in a post-test questionnaire study.
