| Description | The emergence of demand for autonomous language learning requires teachers’ adaptation and an innovative approach in second language acquisition practice. It is imperative to motivate students to become more autonomous and stimulated to improve their L2 production in terms of speech accuracy so as to effectively communicate with both native and non-native speakers in English. It is essential to create a learner-centred culture and cultivate L2 learners’ self-reflection and self-evaluation. Bridging the gap between the theoretical views and empirical classroom practice, will, I trust, contribute significantly to a deeper understanding of the complexity of Second Language Acquisition from the phonetic-phonological perspective. In order to achieve this goal successfully, we must thoroughly probe the theoretical background in an attempt not only to evaluate and expand upon existing research findings, but also to further develop and apply these theories regarding L2 phonological acquisition both within the walls of the Czech classroom and beyond. This project aims to explore the perception-production link theory and further investigate its applicability and implications for classroom practice. The study will be conducted through High Variable Phonetic Training supported by Computer Assisted Language Learning programs employing state-of-the-art technology with the purpose of investigating its applicability and usefulness in L2 pronunciation training of Czech students of English. |
