Since it is necessary to communicate and be understood, pronunciation plays a vital role in the process of L2 learning, it contributes to strengthen intelligibility and competence, which in turn can develop confidence, fluency, and communication skills. Although L2 students may agree that the concepts mentioned before are of essential importance, there may not be common perceptions about achieving a native accent. This research aims to explore LEI students experiences and thoughts about pronunciation and accent, and how they have influenced their expectations concerning pronunciation teaching, as well as their opinions about people who have an accent. The research questions that guide this study are: 1. What are students’ beliefs towards pronunciation learning? 2. What strategies do LEI students use to improve their pronunciation? 3. What are participants’ opinions towards accented speech?".pdfspaHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAInglés -- PronunciaciónInglés -- Pronunciación—Estudio y enseñanzaInglés -- Estudio y enseñanza -- Hablantes extranjerosInglés -- Estudio y enseñanza --GramáticaTesis de licenciaturaopenAccess
