Abstract

This study examines the impact of native language transfer (L1 transfer) on English pronunciation from phonological and pedagogical perspectives. Grounded in Lado’s (1957) Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis and Flege’s (1995) Speech Learning Model (SLM), it categorizes segmental and suprasegmental interference types. Using case examples from Uzbek and Russian L1 speakers, the study discusses common pronunciation errors and concludes with pedagogical recommendations to mitigate negative transfer effects.
