English Pronunciation Challenges Facing Turkish Learners: A Case Study

Öz

The current study was carried out to probe into both the types and potential causes of problems Turkish learners face in the pronunciation of English numbers and words. The population of this descriptive research study was the English Language Teaching (ELT) freshmen in the 2019-2020 academic year. As part of convenience sampling method, a total of 70 freshmen from the two ELT classes, including 51 females and 19 males, were included in the study. Early in the spring semester, the students were given a list of 50 numbers and 50 words commonly used in English. They were then asked to read each number and pronounce the word following that number. They were recorded via a voice-recorder as they were articulating the numbers and the words. The statistical analysis of the data collected via recordings provided feedback with regard to the students’ current level of mastery of English pronunciation and enabled the researcher to unearth and categorize the types of pronunciation problems facing the ELT students. The study’s overall outcome is expected to spark eager and unflagging interest in both learners and teachers toward new ways and means to learn and teach English pronunciation much more effectively.
