Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 2011 English is now considered to be one of the most popular means of communication in the world. One of the most important goals of learning a foreign language is to communicate while oral communication of human beings bases on sounds. Learning good pronunciation is a vital part of learning a new language. If people do not pronounce correctly they will have many difficulties in exchanging ideas or sometimes it may lead to the communication breakdown. In fact, up to now, in language teaching and learning at upper-secondary school level, pronunciation is paid less attention compared with vocabulary, grammar and language skills. This is because of a number of reasons: First, the textbooks (English 10 - 11 - 12) have few focuses on pronunciation knowledge and practice and therefore, teachers often find that they do not have enough time in class to give proper attention to this aspect of English instructions. Second, all important English exams at schools as well as college entrance exams to universities are always in written form, so most teachers and students have little motivation to teach and learn pronunciation. As a result, students are often shy and unconfident to speak in English. This situation calls for the urgent need of cultivating learner autonomy in their pronunciation learning. The concept of learner autonomy has long been introduced and applied to the process of language learning. However, research focusing closely on learner autonomy in pronunciation learning is few and far between. This is inappropriate because pronunciation is central to language learning and learners’ abilities to build, expand and refine their pronunciation on their own outside their classrooms can be the deciding factors in their language learning success. In an attempt to investigate this topic, the researcher has decided to conduct a study on “Students’ Autonomy in Learning English Pronunciation Skills at Bim Son High School, Thanh Hoa”. As one of the first attempts to explore the application of learner autonomy in the context of learning English pronunciation skills at Bim Son High School, this paper seeks to explore the current techniques utilized by teachers and learners in fostering learner autonomy in pronunciation learning and students’ perceptions about those techniques. The paper begins by reviewing the current literature on learner autonomy, pronunciation learning and related studies. This is a case study conducted with 6 teachers of English and 160 students, at Bim Son High School, who undertook the triangulated data collection method of interviews, questionnaires and classroom observations. The analysis of the collected data demonstrated teachers’ and students’ learning and teaching realities in the process of developing learner autonomy within the learning of pronunciation. The findings analyzed suggest a way of gauging students’ responsibility for their own learning and that learner autonomy, as a life-long mode of learning, can only be achieved with the efforts of both the teachers and the learners Electronic Resources

Tags: One of the most important goals of learning a foreign language is to communicate while oral communication of human beings bases on sounds . If people do not pronounce correctly they will have many difficulties in exchanging their ideas or sometimes leading to the failure in the communication. Pronunciation is generally believed to be a difficult skill for many students, which leads to their demotivation in learning this skill. At Ha Noi University of Business and Technology (HUBT) when teaching pronunciation, practical issues like sounds, word stress, sentence stress, and intonation are mainly focused on, which most of the students often find scared of. In the field of this research, few studies have been interested in using of online resources to create freshmen’s motivation but it is still too general. More seriously, there seems not to be a specific study on effective online resourses for freshmen’s motivation in developing English pronunciation at this university. Meanwhile, students in general and freshemen of HUBT in particular are said to have some serious issues in learning English pronunciation, which leads to their inconfidence in communicating in English or causes some unworthy confusion and misunderstandings. This absolutely have negative effects on their social communication capability as well as their future work. Therefore, this research is carried out with the desire to provide first-year students with some free useful online resourses to facilitate them in their English pronunciation learning.
