Index. décimale : 420 Langue anglaise Résumé : This study is concerned with the identification and analysis of pronunciation errors that result from confusing the vowel sounds /É‘:/ vs /æ/ and /u:/ vs /ÊŠ/. We hypothesise that these errors are attributed to two major sources: the overgeneralization of the pronunciation of a sound on a specific spelling and the influence of the American English system of pronunciation. This research seeks to explore the degree to which these sources affect the pronunciation of the target vowel sounds by students. To check the validity of the hypotheses, a test is administered to a random sample of third year students of English at Frères Mentouri University of Constantine 1. The obtained results reveal that two pre-determined sources appear to be the causes of student’s difficulties in distinguishing between /É‘:/ and /æ/ and affect the pronunciation of these vowels sounds to considerable extent. The results also indicate that the previous sources have no significant impact on students’ pronunciation of /u:/ and /ÊŠ/ since they do not confuse between the two sounds. Eventually, some pedagogical recommendations have been provided Diplome : Master 2 Permalink : https://bu.umc.edu.dz/master/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=15206 Difficulties of Third-Year Students of English at Frères Mentouri University, Constantine 1, in Distinguishing between English Long and Short Vowels: The Case of /É‘:/ vs /æ/ and /u:/ vs /ÊŠ/ [texte imprimé] / Khadidja Kater Nada Zeghad, Auteur ; Youcef Beghoul, Directeur de thèse . - CONSTANTINE [ALGERIE] : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine, 2021 . - 59 f. ; 30 cm.
