Research in teaching pronunciation and speaking skills in non-native languages tends to follow either strictly model-based ‘prescriptive' paradigm or a combination of descriptive with normative, based on a clearly specified point of reference as the target. While these approaches may bring valuable insights into the study of second and/or foreign language speech, the use of a language for international...
For years second language acquisition (SLA) studies have been using research methods originally employed in other social sciences, e.g. in psychology and sociology. A unique character of SLA investigations, resulting from their specific conditions and actions (i.e. researching language skills versus knowledge), allowed for a number of developments in research methods, especially in the area of validity...

The research was based on analysis of so-called conceptual (semantic) network...
