The purpose of this paper is to report on the
fieldwork of a current doctoral thesis to
investigate the influence of a pronunciation
syllabus based on the Lingua Franca Core (LFC)
in improving the intelligibility and comprehensibility
of Arab learners. The paper will introduce
a sample of how this syllabus has been designed
based on a Contrastive Analysis (CA) between
the LFC and the phonology of Modern Standard
Arabic (MSA). It will then present a workable
example of how the pronunciation elements of
the LFC syllabus can be integrated in adopted
textbooks and discuss the classroom practice
which the LFC necessitates.
