Pronunciation Learning Strategies to Improve EFL Learners' Pronunciation. The Case of Second-Year EFL Students at Mostaganem University

Pronunciation instruction for EFL learners is crucial for effective communication. This study investigates the learning strategies employed by EFL university teachers to enhance the pronunciation skills of their students whose first language is Arabic. Particularly, it attempts to explore the learning strategies that EFL university teachers use to improve learners’ pronunciation. Semi-structured and unstructured interviews were used with six teachers of phonetics and oral expression as well as twelve students to elicit qualitative data about the pronunciation learning strategies they use. The findings revealed disparity in the use of pronunciation and language learning strategies. As a recommendation, EFL teachers must acquire a deeper understanding of diverse teaching methods and techniques to enhance student pronunciation.
