Possibly one of the most frustrating obstacles facing the second language learner ishow to accurately pronounce the `new' language they are acquiring. Many teaching materialsstill tend to rely on outdated or discredited methodology which only appeals to thestudent's intellect and expects almost instantaneous acquisition. This brief paper will analyzethe pronunciation patterns of a young Arab learner studying English (herein L2),and propose that for successful learning to take place a `process approach' must be considered.Section 1 focuses on the learner's inability to consistently pronounce the dental fricativesand will identify the source of this problem. Section 2 examines a unit from a popularpronunciation text and evaluates how successful it would be in aiding the learner withhis error(s) in pronunciation. Finally, an extended conclusion will suggest a number of activitiesthat may help the learner, taking into consideration the `process approach' to learning.
