English Pronunciation of English Major Students

Abstract

This study evaluated English pronunciation of English major students. Thirty students spoke twenty words to Google Voice Search one by one. The words were chosen because they were problematic for Thai students in general. The students scored one point when the search result matched the spoken word. The scores gained were converted into four ability levels, that is, Excellent, Good, Fair and Bad. It was found that the students’ pronunciation ability fell onto a Good level. The findings suggest that there is room for improvement for the students in this area.
