Abstract

This longitudinal study looks at the development of phonological skills among Brazilian students of EFL on a four‐year humanities course. The main aim of the project is to detect and analyse the influence of L1 on the development of these skills. This paper looks at one particular pronunciation feature (‘palatalization’) that has been found in the data. This project aims to contribute to the theoretical debate concerning interlanguage phonology, with reference to L1 feature transfer, and to offer support for pedagogical strategies in teaching pronunciation.
