%X In this paper, the role of phonological awareness in EFL reading acquisition is investigated through a case study: an analysis of a speech sample by a Cantonese (L1) speaker in both segmental and suprasegmental levels. The analyses of her pronounciation errors help to establish a clear understanding of the sources of some of her pronounciation problems, mainly the interference and transfer of the L1 sound system on FL, and an over reliance on visual clues for decoding words, which indicates the necessity and positive effects of promoting phonological awareness for EFL learners as a means of improving reading skills. Finally, ways of enchancing phonological awareness are discussed for the purpose of improving EFL learner¡¯s reading ability. This also gives much thought to EFL reading teaching. Key words: phonological awareness, EFL reading skills, phonological awareness assessment and instruction R¨¦sum¨¦: Apr¨¨s avoir analys¨¦ ,dans cet article , l¡¯exemplaire de lecture d¡¯un Cantonnais apprenant l¡¯anglais comme langue ¨¦trang¨¨re, on a trouv¨¦ ses probl¨¨mes de lecture au niveau segmental et supersegmental . D¡¯apr¨¨s les analyses de ses probl¨¨mes de prononciation et les caract¨¦ristiques du syst¨¨me phon¨¦tique de sa langue maternelle , on a soulign¨¦ , dans cet article , que son manque de capacit¨¦ de lecture r¨¦sultait principalement de l¡¯insuffisance de conscience phonologique pour l¡¯ anglais comme langue ¨¦trang¨¨re. Cela montre que la conscience phonologique a une grande influence sur la capacit¨¦ de lectuure de l¡¯anglais comme langue ¨¦trang¨¨re . Ainsi les ¨¦valuations syst¨¦matiques de la conscience phonologique et l¡¯enseignement de phon¨¦tique effectu¨¦ d¡¯apr¨¨s ces ¨¦valuation peuvent-ils aider ¨¤ renforcer cette capacit¨¦ . Mots-Cl¨¦s: conscience phonologique, capacit¨¦ de lecture de l¡¯anglais comme langue ¨¦trang¨¨re, ¨¦valuations de la conscience phonologique et l¡¯enseignement
