Foreign Accent: An Approach from Top-Down and Bottom-Up L2 Pronunciation Instruction
Dr. Karina Cerda-Oñate
ABSTRACT:
This article examines the constructs of accent and foreign accent, considering native/non-native dichotomy. In this respect, we discuss pronunciation instruction from bottom-up and top-down orientations, linking it to the aforementioned dichotomy. Finally, we concluded with advice for pronunciation instructors interested in moving away from the native/non-native dichotomy.
