Abstract   Phonology is the study of phonemic system in language and our perception of phonemic production in learning is noticeable cognitively and phonologically.phonemic awareness is a background for language skills such as reading, writing and spelling during school and the next year stages. In the stages of second language acquisition, phonemic awareness should be strengthened more than before.  The existence of a processing system is essential for phonemic skills. According to the Fraser's Cognitive phonology framework 2010, the pronunciation problems are basically conceptual. phonemes are representation of abstract concepts and a background knowledge is necessary for their interpretation to associate them with the verbal method.   Abstract phonological schemas should be perceived as a conceptual system and be related to the real world ,therefore we can achieve some linguistic improvments in other area of language by phonemic awareness skills. In this research investigating  vocalic errors using the field method through a questionnaire and audio recording by text reading of students in two classes of 10 persons was done in two tests. The research methodology is descriptive and analytical. The statistical population of the research is among 80 students from Tehran University of applied sciences ,using SPSS software and Cronbach's AFFA. The results show that phonemic awareness and meaningful communicational base is as an important basis in second language learning in cognitive approach point of view
