Zbigniew Czaja provides an overview of the state of teaching English pronunciation in Poland today based upon how teachers perceive it with regard to English teaching in general and their classroom practice. He analyses the causes of the existing situation and offers suggestions for ways to tackle pronunciation in the classroom. The author seeks to discuss the most challenging areas of English pronunciation for Polish learners in order to equip them with essential knowledge and allow them to upgrade their performance. He also calls for the global community of non-native speakers of English to consider L1 transference as a hinderance to effective L2 pronunciation which, if identified and worked upon, will lead to more comprehensible output among its users.
