| Résumé : |
Spelling is a very important element in learning a foreign language. Therefore, a poor
knowledge in spelling can have a negative impact on the learning process of the different
aspects of language, especially pronunciation. Therefore, the present study aims at
investigating the impact of English spelling on the pronunciation of some phonetic aspects by
EFL learners, mainly the different representations of schwa, ʻed’ past tense suffix, vocalic
letters preceding syllabic consonants, and silent consonantal letters. It also sets out to identify
the causes that lead to ‘spelling pronunciation’ in the Algerian setting. Accordingly, we
hypothesize that Algerian EFL learners of English would pronounce words in English the way
they are spelled as the latter share the same Latin alphabet of their second language, French.
To check the validity of this hypothesis, a transcription test was carried out with eleven
second year students of English, at University of Mentouri Brothers, Constantine 1, along
with a questionnaire that was administered to fourteen teachers of Oral Expression and
Phonetics, at the same Department. The findings revealed that the majority of students
pronounce words the way they are spelled. Moreover, the questionnaire and the test unveiled
that the major reasons that led students to confuse between spelling and pronunciation is the
fact that their widely spoken second language, French and the language being learnt, English
share the same Latin alphabet, and that the French orthographic system is relatively consistent
if compared to English. Therefore, students tend to map this on English inconsistent spelling,
