The [ɔ:] and [oʊ] Contrast as a Fossilized Pronunciation Error of Turkish Learners of English and Solutions to the Problem
Abstract
The acquisition of [ ɔ: ] and [ oʊ ] vowel sounds of the English language constitutes a serious problem for Turkish learners of English. There are no pedagogically-developed specific materials or sample lesson plans in the literature to remedy the pronunciation difficulty brought about by [ɔ:] and [oʊ] vowel sounds of the English language. Therefore, this article aims at providing Turkish learners of English with pronunciation teaching material and a sample lesson on two problem causing sounds like [ɔ:] and [oʊ] by using the audio-articulation method developed by Demirezen (2003, 2004).
