Abstract
Music is unavoidable in the world around us. Numerous studies confirm that individuals with greater musical abilities acquire a foreign language more successfully. The research explores the influence of musical experience on the acquisition of phonemes in a foreign language – English language. The paper examines: the connection between music and language, previous empirical research, interpretation of the connection between music and language and frequent problems in these types of studies. The research was conducted at the Preschool Teacher Training College “Mihailo Palov” in Vrsac. The subjects were from all three years of study, whose mother tongue is Serbian. Results were gathered through a questionnaire and a pronunciation test – the production of phonemes.
Apstrakt
Muzika je nezaobilazan element u svetu oko nas. Brojna istraživanja dokazuju da osebe sa izraženijim muzičkim sposobnostima uspešnije usvajaju strane jezike. Istraživanje razmatra uticaj muzičkog iskustva na usvajanje fonema u stranom jeziku – engleskom jeziku. U radu je pretstavljeno: povezanost muzike i jezika, osvrt na empirijska istraživanja, tumačenje odnosa muzike i jezika kao i česti problemi u istraživanjima ovog tipa. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na Visokoj školi strukovnih studija za vaspitače „Mihailo Palov“u Vršcu. Subjekti su studentkinje sve tri godine studija čiji je maternji jezik srpski. Podaci su prikupljeni korišćenjem ankete i testa izgovora- produkcije fonema.
