2. 1.
Step 1. What is the purpose/hypothesis/aim/
objective of the study?
“The study aimed to establish whether
there is a relationship between L2
aptitude, pronunciation learning
strategies (PLSs), and pronunciation
performance in pre-service English
language teachers in Chile”
The authors did not find
enough studies related to the
topic.
Collect information about
three important
components and
subsequently find a
relationship.
2.
There are no studies that link
PLS and linguistic aptitude

3. Pronunciation
Strategy
Development and
Strategy training
The significance of aptitude
Accuracy vs
Intelligibility
● learners ́
motivation and
aptitude
● social environment
Step 2. What is/are the major finding(s)
of the study?

4. Step 3. How did the authors test their
hypothesis?
Steps or measurements
Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT)
Strategic Pronunciation Learning Survey (SPLS)
Pronunciation Test (PT)
01
It allows knowing numerical learning and
Phonetics.
It collects data related to the frequency and
duration of the use of PLS
It focuses on the production

5. Step 3. How did the authors test their
hypothesis?
Limitations
There should be an instrument capable of
capturing, both horizontally and vertically, the
student's L2 pronunciation
Concordance is constant and therefore does not
change regardless of exogenous factors
Research is needed regarding motivational factors
to determine how they specifically correlate with
pronunciation accuracy
02
36 PLS were subjected to a
statistical model consisting of five
statistical measures, i.e. mean,
median, mode, standard deviation,
and percentile, to determine the
frequency and duration of
PLS use.
03 Analyze the data

6. They worry about
the size of the
population
sample
The instruments about
PLSs should
differentiate between
intelligibility and
accuracy.
Suitability of the
MLAT applied to
non-native
English speakers
Step 4. How reliable are the results?
Problems with the
study that could lead
to unreliable results

7. a. Sense of the conclusions
Although the researchers describe low levels of
correlation between the variables studied; they
present enough information about why it
happened.
b. The conclusions can be believed?
The article explains the reasons for the results
based on the context in which it was developed
as well as the limitations that were faced.
Step 5. Are the claims made in this journal
article accurate?
