Today, English is the leading foreign language in numerous countries with a prestigious position. The need for English worldwide has begun to grow to such an extent that it is explicit to most of the world’s population that English will contribute to their overall lives. Incidentally, English has much more impact on their lives than the desired effects of functionality, education and a better job, but it also changes cultural values, norms, ideas and beliefs in social classes and has had a profound impact on the younger generation.

Despite the fact of the quantum leap in the area of communication nowadays as a result of technology and numerous digital devices enhancing written communication, individuals still interact much more by speaking than by writing. A significant emphasis must therefore be devoted to pronunciation, since it contributes to conveying the proper message in oral discourse. If the idea is not clearly pronounced, pronunciation may often impede interaction or cause confusion of what is being said. Zimmermann (2004: 29) states that ‘pronunciation is crucially important, as it is usually the first thing people notice about a language learner’s English’.

The effect of the mother tongue has been always a key factor in second language acquisition and learning, since the fact that a bilingual’s first language may transfer in both positive and negative forms (interference) makes the process of learning either simple if the sound systems of the two languages are similar or problematic if there are significant differences.

Numerous research papers have examined the interlanguage of English bilinguals in an attempt to identify the challenges they face, by first producing a thorough comparison between the bilinguals’ L1 and L2, in order to find the similarities and differences which pave the way to predict potential errors. The prediction of errors will indeed make it easier for researchers and teachers to detect and analyze the errors made, for the sake of finding the reasons behind them and to provide remedies. Arabic/English bilinguals are not an exception; they face challenges while speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, as well as in writing and spelling (Abu Rass, 2015).
