Abstract

Pronunciation is an indispensable component of a student’s language competence. However, there has been a lack of a system to help teachers conduct proper assessment or design reliable tests to evaluate their student’s articulation performance in English. This paper presents the atomistic and holistic testing with the aim of contributing to the design of reliable and valid pronunciation tests for English learners.
