Abstract

In second language acquisition, individuals are under the influence of the phonetic system of their mother tongue. This paper studies the phenomenon of negative phonological transfer in the learning of English among Northeastern Chinese children. This paper mainly uses Praat to determine how common for Junior High school students in Jilin to experience negative transfer in their oral English acquisition. We specified the phonemes susceptible to the negative transfer. In conclusion, we discussed the potential improvements in Jilin areas’ English teachers’ teaching methods to offset the transfer effects. The analysis intends to assist English teachers in the Jilin Region in taking countermeasures to neutralize the negative transfer effects of Dongbei accents on English education.
