Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation of English pronunciation teaching for Korean university students and to suggest some ideas for more effective teaching and learning of English pronunciation from the perspective of EIL (English as an International Language). This research is based on a survey of 110 Korean university students and the examination of instructional materials of 8 English teachers who have taught English conversation to the university students. The results revealed that whereas the students were aware of the importance of pronunciation education and had perceptions of English as an international language, pronunciation instruction was not implemented in the classroom properly and sufficiently. This study suggests that teachers need to recognize the functional change of English as an international language and redefine the goal and the method of pronunciation teaching. (Hoseo University)
