Publications on the National Standards

The author first describes aspects of pronunciation that make German learners sound more native-like. The author then describes a longitudinal study in which she investigated the pronunciation of American students learning German, focusing on the importance of stress, rhythm, and intonation. The author concludes by speculating the hidden ways in which pronunciation is addressed in the Communication Standards, and puts forth a call to have pronunciation outcomes made explicit in the German Standards, beyond the current description of "phonological knowledge."
