The present research is aimed to draw teachers’ attention to the difficulties non-native students of English may encounter when listening to spoken English, specially with assimilation, an important feature of connected speech. Teachers of listening comprehension tend to focus on top-down skills in their teaching, and give little or no importance to bottom-up skills. The latter can help students to identify the modification of sounds occurring at word boundaries, such as assimilation, and enhance their understanding of spoken English. This study explores first year students’ perception of their listening difficulties in general, and of assimilation in particular. It also examines the extent to which sound modifications at word boundary can affect their ability to recognize familiar words. To achieve this goal, a questionnaire was administered to 108 participants, and a listening cloze dictation test to measure students’ ability to recognize words that underwent assimilation. The results revealed that students had difficulty with new vocabulary, speed of delivery, pronunciation, and assimilated words. |
