    Este trabajo estudia la trasferencia fonética y fonológica de los grupos consonánticos y de las consonantes oclusivas sordas en posición final de palabra desde el dialecto norvietnamita hacia el inglés. Se ha comparado la pronunciación de un corpus de palabras en inglés por ocho norvietnamitas con la pronunciación de dicho corpus por dos hablantes ingleses. El material utilizado en esta investigación ha sido analizado auditiva y acústicamente con un criterio descriptivo y mediante una metodología mixta. Se han identificado y estudiado los rasgos observados que se corresponden con trasferencias fonéticas y fonológicas. Por último, se han realizado propuestas para mejorar la inteligibilidad en contextos internacionales y para la enseñanza del inglés a estudiantes norvietnamitas.

    This article studies phonetic and phonological transfer from Northern Vietnamese to English observed in the production of consonant clusters and voiceless final obstruents. The pronunciation of a corpus of words in English produced by eight Northern Vietnamese participants has been obtained by means of two reading tasks and compared to the productions of two English speakers. The material has been auditorily and acoustically analysed following a descriptive approach and using a mixed methodology. The features that conform to phonetic and phonological transfer from Northern Vietnamese to English have been identified and analysed. Finally, some applications of this study have been proposed to help intelligibility in international contexts and to enhance the teaching of English to Northern Vietnamese students.
