Listening Assessment Result

Spoken English Phonetics & L1 Arabic Diagnostic Matrix

🔤 1. English Alphabet Acoustic Traps

Arab learners frequently confuse English vowels and sibilants:

  • A / E / I: English /eɪ/, /iː/, /aɪ/ are often mixed up.
  • Z vs S: Vasquez (/s/) vs Vazquez (/z/).
  • Q vs K: Spelled with Q-U, pronounced /kjuː/.

📧 2. Email Address Spoken Conventions

When dictating email addresses aloud:

  • . is spoken as “dot” (never say *“point”* or *“period”*).
  • @ is spoken as “at”.
  • m.vazquez@mail.com → “m dot vazquez at mail dot com”.

📞 3. Telephone Numbers in Spoken English

Digits are spoken individually or in natural chunks:

  • 0 is said as “oh” or “zero”.
  • 55 can be spoken as “five five” or “double five”.
  • Mobile = cell phone; Landline = fixed home phone.

💼 4. “What do you do?” vs “What are you doing?”

A classic Present Simple vs Continuous distinction:

  • “What do you do?” = What is your job/profession? (“I'm a medical student.”)
  • “What are you doing?” = What are you doing right now? (“I'm studying for my exam.”)
