description The present study explored views on English pronunciation of a group of tertiary students on history and economics undergraduate courses which used English as a vehicular language. More specifically, the students completed a questionnaire on their pronunciation expectations in their current undergraduate courses, their self-awareness about their own pronunciation as well as their English pronunciation practices and how relevant they consider English pronunciation to be for their careers. The survey revealed that these students reported pronunciation to be important for communication and for their future and that they would like to improve their pronunciation skills. The results also showed that they are only moderately confident about their English pronunciation, and that they have Little self-awareness when asked about various phonetic aspects of their own pronunciation. Those who identified as being active pronunciation learners indicated that their approach mainly involves informal exposure such as using technology for entertainment or establishing contact with English speakers. Very few students reported using more formal pronunciation instruction such as referring to dictionaries or manuals. Finally, some of these students made a distinction between good pronunciation and nativeness, a tentative indicator of the increasing prevalence of the intelligibility principle in English learning these days.

Los estudiantes respondieron a un cuestionario sobre sus expectativas con la pronunciación del inglés, su percepción sobre la pronunciación, las actividades que realizan para mejorar su pronunciación o la relevancia de la pronunciación para su futuro profesional. Los estudiantes indicaron que consideran la pronunciación como un aspecto importante para sus futuras carreras y que desearían mejorar su pronunciación del inglés. También observamos que no están muy seguros de su pronunciación del inglés y que no son muy conscientes de los detalles fonéticos de la misma. Aquéllos que indicaron que se esfuerzan por mejorar su pronunciación especificaron que lo hacen principalmente de manera no formal, usando medios del entretenimiento o mediante el contacto con hablantes de inglés. Muy pocos estudiantes indicaron que mejoran su pronunciación mediante diccionarios o materiales específicos. Por último, algunos de estos estudiantes establecieron una diferencia entre una buena pronunciación y la capacidad nativa, evidenciando el creciente predominio de principio de inteligibilidad, muy presente en el ámbito de la enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera hoy en día.This research was funded by the projects PID2020-115327RB-I00, PID2020-117882GB-I00 (Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation) and grant IT1426-22 (Basque Government).Asociación Española de Estudios Anglo-NorteamericanosUniversidad de Cantabria20252025-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://hdl.handle.net/10902/36566Atlantis, 2025, 47(1), 165-183reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.unican.es:10902/365662026-06-02T12:39:31Z
