Dear everyone,

I am an EFL teacher on Taiwan and I am doing a research on the attitudes of pronunciation among multilevel learners.

Do you have any advice or recommandation for me?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean by "attitudes of pronunciation among multilevel learners". Do you mean how much importance different students attach to pronunciation?

Thank you for your reply,
Yes. I am concerning about the importance of different adult EFL learners
value pronunciation. next to that, I would like to know more about their pronunciation difficulty.

Thanks again,

It sounds to me like you'll need to put together some sort of questionnaire to determine how important pronunciation is to them. You'll also want to ask students what they think their biggest mistakes are and recird them to see if they're right (i.e. do they make pronunciation errors they don't notice?)

Just a few suggestions - in no way exhaustive.

That is what I am thinking about. I am not going to record them, though.
Do you have any reference material to recommand on such a topic?
