AB The objective of the study was to further understand the situation of teaching Englishpronunciation in Jordanian classrooms as it has a major impact on speaking skills of studentsand affects their employability in the future. Several instruments were used to reach a fullunderstanding of the context of the study. Data gathered through questionnaires, semistructuredinterviews with supervisors, national test scores and examination of video-recordedclasses, was analyzed and triangulated to reach the findings. The instruments were validated,and their reliability was proved. Findings indicated that teachers in the sample were at A2 orB1 phonological capacity according to the CEFR phonological scale. Teachers’ limitedcapacities had a direct impact on the achievement of their students, as 8th graders of the entirecountry achieved less in speaking tests than in reading and writing. Teachers, thereforeindicated need for further capacity building on the teaching of pronunciation.
