Abstract :The present study investigated EFL instructors’ perspectives and practices regarding pronunciation. Ninety-five EFL instructors from 25 different universities in Türkiye participated in the online survey study. The results showed that most instructors lacked proper training in teaching pronunciation. While many of the participants believed in the importance of teaching pronunciation in SLA, they allocated limited class time to it. They relied heavily on textbooks for teaching pronunciation. In teaching pronunciation, instructors aimed at making learners intelligible rather than eliminating their accents, and therefore they tended to correct pronunciation errors that negatively affect intelligibility. However, pronunciation was frequently ignored in the assessment by most instructors. Considering the findings, the study has implications for the inclusion of pronunciation in textbooks and curricula more intensively and effectively. The findings also reveal that there is a need for improved training programs for EFL instructors on pronunciation.
