Maria Leanez , Professor, Facultad De Filosofía, Humanidades Y Artes, Universidad Nacional De San Juan, Argentina

Abstract

This study focuses on promoting changes in the process of acquiring the English phonological component through effective language instruction. The abstract highlights the importance of phonological acquisition in second language learning and the challenges learners face in acquiring English phonological patterns. The study explores various strategies that can be employed to facilitate the acquisition of English phonology, including explicit instruction, pronunciation practice, and audio-visual aids. By implementing these strategies, language instructors can enhance learners' phonological awareness, accuracy, and fluency. This study contributes to the field of second language acquisition by providing insights into effective instructional approaches for promoting changes in the acquisition of the English phonological component.
