description This paper investigates the intonation of questions and requests produced by 10 adult lower intermediate EFL students. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the most common intonation mistakes. It is significant to study the current state of intonation in order to propose methodological activities to improve specific intonation problems. In fact, the study compares the pitch contours of two questions and two requests produced by native speakers with the intonation of EFL learners. This descriptive study concluded that: the learners seem not to be aware of pitch contours and the function of intonation patterns; and that the L1 influences the production of the L2. These results suggest that some technological tools such as Praat can be used in the process of teaching and learning intonation.

El objetivo de este estudio es identificar y analizar los errores de entonación más comunes. Analizar la situación actual de entonación es importante para la propuesta de actividades metodológicas que mejoren problemas específicos de entonación. En efecto, esta investigación compara los contornos tonales de dos preguntas y dos pedidos de hablantes nativos con estudiantes. Este estudio descriptivo concluyó que: los estudiantes parecen no estar conscientes de los contornos tonales y la función que desempeñan los patrones de entonación y que el idioma nativo influye en la producción del segundo idioma. Estos resultados sugieren que herramientas tecnológicas como Praat pueden servir en el proceso de aprendizaje y enseñanza sobre entonación.Universidad Central del Ecuador2021-08-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/epub+ziptext/htmlhttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/KronosJournal/article/view/311110.29166/kronos.v2i1.3111Kronos – The Language Teaching Journal; Vol. 2 No. 1 (2021): The Language Teaching Journal; 68 - 78Kronos – The Language Teaching Journal; Vol. 2 Núm. 1 (2021): The Language Teaching Journal; 68 - 782631-28592631-2840reponame:Revista Kronos Journalinstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEenghttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/KronosJournal/article/view/3111/3836https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/KronosJournal/article/view/3111/3837https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/KronosJournal/article/view/3111/3849Derechos de autor 2021 Diana Vaca Barragánhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-09-11T17:00:13Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/3111Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*2631-28592631-2840opendoar:02022-09-11T17:00:13Revista Kronos Journal - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse
