Abstract
The present paper focuses on the role of strategies in learning the pronunciation
of the target language. First, an outline of various general classifications of language
learning strategies is provided. Next, pronunciation learning strategies are
defined and their various taxonomies are presented. This is followed by the description
of the study which investigated the influence of pronunciation learning
strategies on the perception and production of English pure vowels and diphthongs
by first-year students of an English department. The results of the study indicate
that students of English, who on average use pronunciation learning strategies
rather occasionally, should receive some strategy-based instruction as there
exists a significant relationship between the investigated phenomena, especially
between the use of pronunciation learning strategies and the production of English
monophthongs and diphthongs.
