The Role Of Listening And Repetition Exercises In Improving English Pronunciation

This article examines the role of listening and repetition exercises in improving English pronunciation among EFL learners. A six-week program combining authentic listening activities and structured repetition drills was implemented to enhance both segmental (vowels and consonants) and suprasegmental (stress, rhythm, intonation) features. Results show that listening improves auditory discrimination, while repetition reinforces correct articulation, leading to better pronunciation, fluency, and learner confidence. Integrating these exercises into meaningful contexts, such as dialogues and songs, increases their effectiveness.
