Resumo

Este estudo relata uma pesquisa experimental realizada com 50 estagiários espanhóis-L1, divididos em 2 grupos: A e B. Ambos os grupos foram apresentados com uma abordagem centrada no professor tradicional com base em exercícios controlados (repetição, imitação), mas o grupo B adicionou um componente comunicativo em que os alunos completaram uma bateria de tarefas sequenciadas com foco na forma fonológica. Ambos os grupos registraram um teste de fala antes e depois da instrução que foi usado para medir e comparar graus de acentuação, frequência e duração das pausas e colocação do estresse nuclear. Dez avaliadores ingleses e nativos julgaram as gravações para determinar o grau de acentuação percebida pelos falantes. Dois especialistas, usando a confiabilidade entre os marcadores, segmentaram as transcrições de gravações e colocação de estímulos nucleares identificados. Outros dois especialistas identificaram pausas vazias. A análise multivariada foi utilizada para medir os resultados. Em geral, o grupo B (aprendentes expostos ao componente comunicativo) obteve melhores resultados em todos os 3 parâmetros do que o outro grupo. Finalmente, serão discutidas algumas implicações pedagógicas para o ensino da pronúncia L2 em contextos ELT.
