Abstract

Pronunciation is a critical yet challenging aspect of language learning,
particularly in diverse classrooms where learners come from varied
linguistic backgrounds. Mispronunciations can hinder effective
communication and reduce learners' confidence. Despite its importance,
pronunciation instruction is often neglected in language curricula,
leaving learners ill-prepared for real-world interactions. This study
addresses this gap by exploring effective strategies to tackle
pronunciation challenges in multilingual classrooms. The research aims
to identify the most common pronunciation difficulties faced by learners
in diverse language classrooms and evaluate the effectiveness of targeted
instructional strategies in addressing these challenges. A mixed-methods
approach was employed, combining quantitative pre- and post-tests with
qualitative classroom observations and interviews. Participants included
150 learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds enrolled in an English
as a Second Language (ESL) program. Targeted pronunciation exercises,
including minimal pair drills and intonation practice, were implemented
over a 12-week period. Data were analyzed using statistical software and
thematic analysis. The findings revealed significant improvements in
learners' pronunciation accuracy, particularly in stress patterns and vowel
sounds. Participants reported increased confidence in speaking and
greater awareness of their pronunciation errors. Classroom observations
indicated that interactive and repetitive exercises were most effective in
addressing pronunciation challenges. Targeted pronunciation instruction
is essential for improving communication skills in diverse language
classrooms
