- Abstract
Communicative oral reading implies the use of prosodic features that allow the reader to organize the oral text to facilitate its interpretation. At the School of Languages, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, the oral reading is a central topic of the subject Phonetics and Phonology II in the EFL courses. Despite that training, an important number of students still produce inefficient readings. This is why we decided to explore whether students employ the basic prosodic features of prominence, tone, pitch level and pause in contexts other than that of Phonetics and Phonology II. In this research article we analyze a student's production evaluated as inefficient and monotonous by external judges. We also looked into the comprehensibility level of this oral reading. The results indicate that the basic prosodic features have not been efficiently used and that comprehensibility was below the expected level.
