The acquisition of prosody by EFL learners has a significant impact on their fluency and intelligibility. Similarly, inability to recognize and produce prosody reduces the speaker's intelligibility and comprehensibility. Intonation is sometimes used interchangeably with prosody, as it is regarded as one of its primary and most prominent characteristics. The current study examines Iraqi EFL college students' recognition and production of intonation and measures to what extent their order of acquisition parallels those of native speakers of English. The results of the current study show that Iraqi EFL college students’ production of intonation precedes their recognition.
