Abstract The English language has become the so called “world wide language” due to the fact that it is used globally in many spheres of everyday life - education, business, labour market, technology, tourism, travel and others. In Slovakia, the educational system supports schools in the acquisition of the language by granting more English classes per week, by financing textbook materials, by bridging teaching practice with research as well as making English a mandatory subject of school leaving exams. One of the crucial components in the English language education of Slovak learners appears to be the pronunciation. This language feature has its specificities and therefore it must be approached carefully. Although many researchers in Slovakia have focused on various aspects of English pronunciation, this article aims at the English teachers and their perception of this important issue. The survey focuses on Slovak teachers’ opinions about teaching English pronunciation to non-native learners, more specifically, about teaching techniques, error corrections, textbook materials and university teacher training.

由斯洛伐克教师看到的由非本地教师教授英语发音

摘要由于英语已广泛应用于日常生活的各个领域，例如教育，商业，劳动力市场，技术，旅游，旅行等，因此，英语已成为所谓的“全球语言”。在斯洛伐克，教育系统通过每周开设更多英语课，资助教科书材料，将教学实践与研究相结合以及使英语成为学校毕业考试的必修科目，来支持学校掌握语言。斯洛伐克语学习者的英语教育中至关重要的组成部分之一似乎是发音。此语言功能具有其特殊性，因此必须谨慎对待。尽管斯洛伐克的许多研究人员都专注于英语发音的各个方面，本文针对英语教师及其对这一重要问题的理解。该调查侧重于斯洛伐克教师对向非本地学习者教授英语发音的观点，尤其是关于教学技术，错误更正，教科书材料和大学教师培训的观点。
