We had native ENglish-speaking (NS) listeners evaluate the effects of 3 types of instruction (segmental accuracy; general speaking habuts and prosodic factors; and no specific pronounciation instruction) on the speech of 3 groups of English as a second language (ESL) learners. We recorded their sentences and extemporaneously produced narratives at the beginning and end of a 12-week course of instruction. In a blind rating task, 48 native English listeners judged randomized sentences for accentedness and comprehensibility, and fluency. Although both groups instructed in pronounciation showed siginificant improvement in comprehensibility and accentedness on the sentences, only the global group showed significant improvement in comprehensibility and fluency in the narratives. We argue that the focus of instruction and the attentional demands on speakers and listeners account for these findings.
