An analysis of suprasegmental errors in the interlanguage of North Vietnamese students of English

Stress and intonation play important roles in the production and
perception of the English language. They are always very difficult for
second language learners to acquire. Yet, a review of literature
reveals that these important suprasegmental features have not
received due attention from second language researchers or
teachers. In Vietnam in particular, there is no research to date which
studies the stress and intonation errors in the performance of
Vietnamese learners of English.
This study uses the procedures of Error Analysis to investigate
the problem. Chapter one and two give a review of relevant literature
and a description of the methodology of the study. In chapter three,
the students' stress and intonation errors are described and classified,
and the possible sources of those errors are discussed. Finally,
chapter four shows implications and makes suggestions for the
improvement of teaching and learning English stress and intonation.
