Abstract

The article explores the concept of phonological variability and its impact on teaching English pronunciation. It highlights how differences in learners' first languages, perceptual challenges, and exposure to various English accents influence pronunciation acquisition. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing both segmental and suprasegmental features, incorporating diverse English varieties, and using technological tools to enhance learning. Practical strategies such as contrastive analysis, auditory training, and shadowing exercises are discussed. The article concludes by advocating for a flexible, learner-centered approach to pronunciation teaching that fosters both accuracy and intelligibility.
