A questão parte de breves excertos do livro The practice of English language teaching, de
J. Harmer, 4th ed., Longman, 2007 (adaptado).
Leia o texto e responda à questão.
The fact that some students are able to acquire reasonable
pronunciation without explicit teaching should not blind us
to the benefits of a focus on pronunciation in our lessons.
Pronunciation teaching not only makes students aware of
different sounds and sound features but can also help them
achieve the goal of improved comprehension and intelligibility.
One question we need to answer is how good our
students’ pronunciation ought to be. Should they sound like
native speakers, so perfect that just by listening to them we
would assume that they are British or American or Australian?
Or is this asking too much? Perhaps we should be happy
if they can at least make themselves understood. In fact,
frequently foreign language speakers want to retain their own
accent when they speak the foreign language because that is
part of their identity.
O excerto aborda temas hoje em dia muito presentes
quando se fala em ensino de inglês oral e de pronúncia.
