    Nasal sounds of brazilian portuguese : a didactic proposal for pronunciation with pre-service language teachers
    (Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2023-06) Serrano Buitrago, Isabella; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Vargas Rodríguez, Germán Rolando
    The following research proposal examines Portuguese nasal challenges that pre-service foreign language teachers experience. Phonetics play a significant role in language learning since it helps learners communicate effectively, recognize patterns, and improve fluency. Previous research has discovered that Spanish speakers face difficulties in pronunciation due to the differences of intonation and sounds, but little attention has been given to finding learning strategies to minimize these difficulties. For instance, Pérez (2022) mentioned that some of these difficulties are related to nasal sounds and distinctive stress patterns compared to Spanish.

    Sound words; a phonemic strategy for the development of pronunciation in kindergarten sStudents
    (Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-05) Torres Piraquive, María Paula; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Largo Rodríguez, Jose David
    The present research explores the didactic teaching strategy of sound words which implements the teaching of vowels through rhythmic syllables. This strategy aims to develop students' phonemic awareness for the development of their pronunciation skills by making it more interactive and encouraging greater engagement. Therefore, the aim is to investigate the impact of implementing the sound word strategy on the development of phonemic awareness in a group of kindergarten students learning English as a foreign language and its influence on their pronunciation skills. Based on this, the study adopted an action research approach to collect data on implementing phonemic teaching strategies with a group of William Kilpatrick kindergarten teachers through semi-structured interviews. The analysis will be conducted using an action research approach. It is thus expected that a curricular unit will be implemented to observe the functioning of this teaching strategy and enable students to be better able to recognize and produce the sounds of the language, which, in turn, could improve their pronunciation competence, understanding the impact of implementing phonemic strategies at an early stage and its contribution to the English language learning process
