The purpose of this study was to establish the challenges Ghanaian students face in learning English language pronunciation. The study employed a qualitative approach through administering a recording test on the learners and a questionnaire that required teachers to write their views and ideas regarding the problem under investigation. The study collected data from 50 randomly selected students out of a total number of 300 from the final year classes of Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School and 25 out of 45 teachers of English from the languages department. The study found that a large number of the learners mispronounced selected vowels and consonants, thus confirming the reality that pronunciation problem persisting in Ghanaian secondary schools. The problem of poor pronunciation was found to be related to the teaching and learning strategies employed in teaching pronunciation, unskilled teachers and the influence of mother tongues. The study recommends that teacher trainees in English language from institutions of higher learning should be exposed to the appropriate strategies of teaching good pronunciation. Furthermore, regular in-service training should be organized for the teachers of English in senior high schools to equip them with the current approaches to teaching pronunciation. Lastly, stakeholders of education in the country should provide well-resourced language laboratories for senior high schools to enable students to practice phonetics effectively.

Authentic Evaluation

The authors present an innovative practice of authentic evaluation of competences carried out in the “teaching and learning strategies” course of the psychology degree. The evaluation proposal central to this course is based on a real, relevant and socializing practice context in which students have to act as counsellors to respond to a high-school teacher's request: to improve a teaching sequence or unit. In order for this authentic project to work and generate a gradual construction of learning, course teachers used a series of evaluation strategies directed at the assessment of both the result and the learning process and aimed at facilitating students' learning self-regulation and teachers' provision of educational help. Results show that students value the processes of formative assessment because they allow them to act in an authentic context. In turn, teachers are highly satisfied with the involvement and quality of the projects.

Language advising helps a language learner discover different ways of learning and enables him/her to make decisions for better learning. This paper reports on an inquiry conducted with one English language learner who had difficulty with vocabulary acquisition which led to a perceived lack of progress in learning. The main purpose of the research was to observe and interpret the experience of the learner in terms of how different teaching and learning strategies appeared to affect her vocabulary learning. Qualitative research instruments including a semi-structured interview and a diary were used for this study. The results showed an increase in the learner’s control over her vocabulary learning process which was likely facilitated by the incorporation of language advising strategies into individual private tutoring.
