Prototype of a Prosodic Assessment Instrument

When we learn a language we can't just stick to understanding and using the grammatical rules of the language, but the culture and society of those communities. We learn to communicate, to identify situations of everyday life and how different socio-cultural formations deal with it. One of the suprasegmental aspects that plays one of the most important roles in communication is "Prosody"; the understanding of the use of different tonalities according to what we seek to express as speakers on the part of the receivers. This study aims to function as a guide for the development of instruments for the objective measurement of prosody in speakers of English as a foreign language. For this purpose, we used the different categories of language questions and what by default is intended to be expressed through their default tonalities. The application of an evaluation instrument based on this approach would help to detect failures in the communicative intention of speakers of English as a foreign language and to implement measures to reinforce aspects of communication for future teachers or as an improvement in a learning plan.
