| Abstract English has some consonants which can stand by themselves as syllables. This usually occurs as a result of casual or rapid speech. Since most native speakers of English regard this issue as a problematic matter, it would be reasonable to expect that foreign learns will face more difficulties in producing English syllabic consonants. As this investigates the production of English syllabic consonants, namely /I/ and /n/ on the part of Iraqi learns of English, its results are used to decide whether or not the learners are able to produce English syllabic consonants. The study sheds light on the errors committed by Iraqi learners of English at the university level. These errors observed by the researcher motivated him to conduct this study. The main purpose of this study is to find out the difficulties the learners of English encounter in the production of syllabic consonants. A test was designed and administrated to twenty – five students. They are the third – year students of the academic year 2013. The results show that Iraqi learners tend to insert a vowel between two successive consonants of facilitate their articulation. | ||
