Despite the widespread view of surveyed students that their teachers do not pay enough attention to pronunciation, great majority of them say learning pronunciation is important. Students also believe that possessing better pronunciation skills would result in better future opportunities and greater confidence when speaking English.
Despite the fact that English is taught as second language in most parts of the world, not all aspects of English language learning are deemed as equally important. Teachers perceive grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing skill as predominant compared to pronunciation, thus forgetting the fact that students will need good pronunciation skills when facing real-life communication situations.
