Pronunciation can be one of the most difficult parts of a language for EFL learners to master and one of the least
favorite topics for teachers to address in the EFL classroom. All learners can do well in learning the pronunciation
of a foreign language if the teacher and learner participate together in the total learning process. Success can be
achieved if each has set individual teaching and learning goals. Pronunciation must be viewed as more than
correct production of phonemes: it must be viewed in the same light as grammar, syntax, and discourse that is an
important part of communication. Research has shown and current pedagogical thinking on pronunciation
maintains that intelligible pronunciation is seen as an essential component of communicative competence. With
this in mind, the teacher must then set obtainable aims that are applicable and suitable for the communication
needs of the learner. The learner must also become part of the learning process, actively involved in their own
learning. The content of the course should be integrated into the communication class, with the content
emphasizing the teaching of suprasegmentals, linking pronunciation with listening comprehension, and allowing
for meaningful pronunciation practice. With the teacher acting as a 'speech coach', rather than as a mere checker
of pronunciation, the feedback given to the student can encourage learners to improve their pronunciation. If these
criteria are met, all learners, within their learner unique aims, can be expected to do well learning the
pronunciation of a foreign language.
