Abstract
Advanced
second language
learners in a formal
setting can suppress many L1)
processes in L2
pronunciation when provided with sufficient
exposure to L2 and
metacompetence. This paper
shows how imitation in L2 teaching can be
enhanced on the basis of current phonetic research
and how complex allophonic processes such as
nasal vocali
zation and
glottal stop insertion can be
suppressed using
“repair”
–
a method of providing
learners with adequate input, so that they can
use
the L1 processes to improve
L2 pronunciatio
