dc.description.abstractAbstract This study is an attempt to explore the role of the Shawiya language as a mother tongue into acquiring English as a foreign language. Of specific focus is in which way there is an interference of Shawiya regarding the pronunciation of English, and more restrictively the phonological aspects. For that purpose, using a questionnaire (for learners) and an interview (withteachers) for data collection, a descriptively-based quantitative approach is adopted. Results revealed that not only is there a negative interference of Shawiya, but a deep one. Further, Shawiya has both positive and negative effects depending on the linguistic distances in terms of similarities and differences with English. However, both of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and students confirmed that the Shawiya language has a more of a positive impact. The findings also indicate that such effects touch upon the pronunciation aspect to a very large extent as the majority of the participant learners' views appear to promote this orientation.
