Pronunciation remains a critical challenge in English language teaching, particularly for non-native speakers. Despite the increasing importance of clear communication in global contexts, many learners continue to struggle with various aspects of pronunciation, including segmental features (vowels and consonants), suprasegmental features (stress, rhythm, and intonation), and accent variation. This paper explores the impact of pronunciation difficulties on English language learners and identifies effective strategies for improving pronunciation skills in the classroom. It examines both traditional and innovative approaches, such as the use of visual aids, phonetic training, technology-assisted tools, and interactive activities. Additionally, the paper addresses the role of teacher awareness and the importance of fostering a supportive, non-judgmental learning environment. The findings suggest that a holistic, communicative approach to pronunciation instruction—incorporating both theoretical knowledge and practical application—can significantly enhance learners' intelligibility and confidence in using English in real-world situations.
