ABSTRACT

The study is designed to investigate the effects of pronunciation instruction on the learning of English focused questions. Instruction on intonation of English focused questions were given to Korean EFL learners. The study compared the students’ production of English focused questions before and after the instruction. The results showed that after the instruction Korean speakers' intonation of English focused questions was improved to put the correct low tones on the focused part of the questions more than before the instruction. Furthermore, the tonal pattern characteristic to Korean was reduced after the instruction. Despite the small number of subjects, the study indicates that pronunciation instruction has positive immediate effects on improving Korean learners' English intonation.
