This study concerns the use of audio technology and metacognition to improve pronunciation in the learning of a second language (L2). It describes a methodological approach to guide L2 learners to observe their utterances and become aware of their pronunciation errors, with the support of peer collaboration and metacognitive prompts. Identifying pronunciation errors is not easy because it requires good self-observation, evaluation and reflection skills. A meaningful episode from a pilot test of our methodological approach is presented, together with some reflections on the potential implications of our work.

Abstract
This study concerns the use of audio technology and metacognition to improve pronunciation in the learning of a second language (L2). It describes a methodological approach to guide L2 learners to observe their utterances and become aware of their pronunciation errors, with the support of peer collaboration and metacognitive prompts. Identifying pronunciation errors is not easy because it requires good self-observation, evaluation and reflection skills. A meaningful episode from a pilot test of our methodological approach is presented, together with some reflections on the potential implications of our work.File in questo prodotto:
