The study adopted a survey questionnaire containing five-point Likert scale items, multiple-choice questions, and some open-ended questions to record students’ views. After the thematic analysis, five major categories emerged:  course design, the language of instruction, learning and teaching style, types of feedback, and nativeness of teachers. The findings revealed that students were well-aware of the importance of pronunciation for intelligibility and successful communication. They were also cognizant of what is more useful to them. Similarly, students were found eager to help improve pronunciation instruction by suggesting certain changes to be incorporated and implemented.</em></p>}, journal={Balochistan Journal of Linguistics}, author={Ahmad, Khursheed and Irshad, Asra and Ali, Zahid and Yousafzai, Rehmat Ali}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={19} }
