The Relationship Between Orthography And Pronunciation In L1 And L2 Phonology

Abstract: 4 pages in length. Proper spelling and word pronunciation are intrinsically associated with L1 and L2 speech sounds and language acquisition due to the nature of how representations of orthography impact the functioning of L1 learners within the context of phonological awareness tasks; as such, L2 learners are therefore also affected by this association when striving to grasp pronunciation. Moreover, the influence of metalinguistic awareness - "a construct, theory or model to explain the interaction between language and written text" (Mora, 2008), is most prominently found in the ongoing literacy development of bilingual learners. One of the most recognized ways in which this is demonstrated is through code switching, a blending of two languages - L1 & L2 - that developed as a multicultural survival instinct. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
