The Mother Tongue Interference Pronunciation Errors in Libyan EFL Students

Résumé

Many English learners do not pay much attention on studying English pronunciation, the results being that learners are shocked whenever they meet difficulties in oral communication. There are many other factors, such as prominent phonetics, which may weaken the learner’s confidence both in speaking and listening. In the case of some senior students at the university, a reasonable accuracy in the pronunciation of individual sounds should certainly have been achieved, however, many students still fail to attain perfection.
