U radu se predstavljaju rezultati akustičkog ispitivanja produkcije vokala engleskog jezika u govoru izvornih govornika srpskog jezika, studenata Katedre za anglistiku Filološkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu. Broj učesnika ispitivanja bio je 26 (13 studenata prve godine i 13 studenata završnih godina). Mereni su F1 i F2 naglašenih vokala — 11 monoftonga (KIT, DRESS, TRAP, FOOT, STRUT, LOT, FLEECE, PALM, GOOSE, THOUGHT i NURSE) i 4 diftonga (GOAT, PRICE, MOUTH i FACE). Takođe su mereni vokali u L1 ispitanika, koje smo poredili sa vokalima u njihovom L2, to jest engleskom. Ispitanici su snimljeni dok čitaju izabrane odlomke vesti Bi-Bi-Sija i dve kratke priče na srpskom. Broj analiziranih primera je 7534 na engleskom (oko 305 vokala po govorniku), i 4266 na srpskom. Rezultati pokazuju da učenici engleskog jezika čiji je maternji jezik srpski, na nivou znanja naših ispitanika, načelno ne zamenjuju vokale L2 vokalima svog L1; s druge strane, ne može se reći da dosežu vrednosti karakteristične za izvorne govornike, već kompromisne vrednosti. Izuzeci, kada je reč o zameni jesu vokal DRESS, i bar za neke govornike, vokal TRAP (oba su supstituisana srpskim kratkim /e/). Vokali kod kojih se javila najveća razlika između dve podgrupe ispitanika bili su GOAT, GOOSE, MOUTH, PRICE, i u manjoj meri THOUGHT, pri čemu su stariji, iskusniji studenti proizvodili vrednosti više nalik onima kod izvornih govornika.
