| Abstract | Although Turkey is a country where English is taught as an international language (EIL), very few research studies have focused specifically on learners' attitudes toward different accents and pronunciations. Therefore, this paper attempts to highlight Turkish university preparatory school students' perceptions on different English pronunciations and accents and on native and non-native speakers' and teachers' English pronunciation. It also aims to point out the in-class/learning environment factors that impact pronunciation learning in English classes. Based on a review of the literature analyzing attitudes towards different pronunciation and accents, online surveys and focus group interviews with 10 volunteers were conducted to collect data for this study. The survey results revealed that a great number of participants believe that correct pronunciation is crucial in communication. Also, all the in-class/learning environment factors had significant impact on the participants' perceived pronunciation. Interview results indicated that most learners agreed that as long as a pronunciation is intelligible, it can be considered as good. In addition, despite admitting the positive effect of native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) on their pronunciation, most participants did not ignore the positive influence of non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) on their pronunciation improvement. Because most participants indicated that they wanted to receive more pronunciation-focused instruction, this study has some implications for the institutions and material designers that may reconsider the weighing and variety of pronunciation practice when compared to other language skills.
