Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate poor English pronunciation among secondary school students in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo state. Descriptive survey research was adopted for the study using a sample size of 200 students drawn from secondary schools in Akure South local government area of Ondo state. Data obtained from administered questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study revealed that dominance of mother tongue, inadequate teachers of English language, inadequate facilities and instructional media/materials, teachers’ attitude towards innovation and improper use of methods of teaching by teachers are the causes of poor pronunciation of English. Among other recommendations is that qualified English language teachers should always be employed to handle the subject in all the secondary schools of Ondo state.
