Abstract

Feedback is a crucial element in learning English, as it plays a fundamental role in correcting errors and developing language skills, pronunciation being one of the most important. Pronunciation is essential for effective communication as it must be understandable, accurate and clear. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the use of feedback in the form of recast in the 10th grade ‘A’ group of General Basic Education of the Educational Unit ‘Pensionado Olivo’, in order to improve pronunciation in English. This study is non-experimental and adopts a mixed approach, with a descriptive modality and an exploratory level. The results show that the strategies employed in the teaching of English pronunciation are not adequately implemented. In addition, the methodological system used to apply the recast presents inconsistencies, which prevents students from acquiring the necessary competences to use English correctly in communication. Finally, an adequate methodological process is detailed which makes the recast an effective tool for identifying and improving English pronunciation.
