Abstract:

New Spanish migrants began to arrive in the Netherlands nearly ten years ago,
following the economic crisis in 2008 and the steep rise in the Spanish
unemployment rate. These Spanish migrants are highly skilled, mobile, highly
educated, and speak English well. Most of them work in the high-tech and
healthcare sectors. While they can get along communicating in English at
first, they soon become aware of the importance of speaking Dutch, because it
is required at work or because they want to improve their social interaction.

Learning Dutch is hard for adult Spaniards, and when asked what the most
difficult aspect of learning Dutch is, most of them would probably answer: “la
pronunciación”, ‘the pronunciation’. The main aim of this investigation is to
study the pronunciation problems of adult Spanish learners of Dutch, and their
possible sources, as well as to find out how well native Dutch listeners
perceive Spanish-accented Dutch pronunciation, in terms of intelligibility.

This investigation contributes to the development of specific learning tools
for native speakers of Spanish who wish to improve their pronunciation
accuracy in Dutch. The outcomes of this dissertation throw light on the
specific pronunciation problems Spanish learners of Dutch have, as well as
their sources. Such insights can help to propose pedagogical direction in
phonological instruction in the Dutch L2 classroom, to develop dedicated CAPT
(Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training) programs, and to create materials
aimed at raising phonological awareness among Spanish learners.
