Phonological intelligibility in Iraqi EFL classrooms

الملخص AR

The present study aims at characterizing phonological intelligibility in the Iraqi EFL classrooms.

Due to various, interrelated factors, this type of intelligibility seems to be missing.

Thus, there is an urgent need to reconsider : our goals for teaching EFL to our students, the usefulness and easiness of the foreign variety we claim to be teaching, and the methodology we use to achieve our pedagogical goals.
