Abstract: This paper seeks to examine the pronunciation of the letter sequence ‘gn’ by the First Year-Students of the English Department of the University of Ndjamena. Language Transfer is the theoretical approach used to analyse the data. For purpose of collecting data, we asked students to read a text carrying the letter sequence ‘gn’. The results revealed that the students of the first year of the English Department of the University of Ndjamena have poor performance in the pronunciation of the sound sequence ‘gn’. The mispronunciation of this consonant cluster can be traced back to the French language as that very letter sequence is also available in that language in which it is realized /ɲ/. In other words, being Francophone, the population of this research work systematically transfers the pronunciation of the French ‘gn’ into English in which it is pronounced completely different. As a solution, the First Year-Students of the English Department of the University of Ndjamena are advised to avoid assimilating French to English since these languages do not function phonologically the same way. Furthermore, they are advised to intensively practise English orally.
Keywords: francophone English, language transfer, influence.
