Abstract
This study investigates the acoustic properties of British English short vowels as produced by advanced Libyan female EFL university students. It aims to compare between the quantity of British English short vowels as produced by advanced Libyan females and their native equivalent. In order to answer the research questions of the study, the collected data was conducted through recording twenty native female speakers of TA from Tripoli University/ Faculty of Education using PRAAT program. An acoustic analysis of the collected measurement values was used to obtain systematic and objective results. The findings indicated that the production of Libyan females differed, slightly and greatly, in some of the targeted vowels and was closer to their native equivalents in others. In addition, the study presents the quality of short vowels of British English as produced by advanced Libyan females and suggests further research on aspects that need to be further investigated.
