The curse of unawareness of correct English pronunciation is usually common among the higher secondary learners of Bangladesh. There is no doubt about that wrong pronunciation is certainly enough to spoil the probability of higher secondary learners of Bangladesh. The learners will misunderstand and will be misunderstood by others for their mispronunciation. The speaker of wrong pronunciation in English is like a person with dirty clothes and this scenario is deeply rooted at higher secondary level in Bangladesh. It is needless to say that pronunciation is a set of habits of producing sounds to overcome the bias of the first language but this set of habit is hardly seen among the higher secondary learners for English. The learners do not know that the habit of producing a sound correctly is acquired by repeating it over and over again and by being corrected when it is pronounced wrongly. Therefore, the higher secondary learners should know that learning to pronounce a foreign/second language means building up new pronunciation habits and overcoming the bias of the first language (Cook, 1996). Moreover, the learners have a common tendency to spelling pronunciation which is often considered as wrong pronunciation and the higher secondary learners are habituated to it. Regarding this, David Crystal, (2002) says that we all learn to speak before we learn to write. We also need to remember that pronunciation patterns have changed radically since the days when the spelling system was laid down. English spelling hasn't been a good guide to pronunciation for hundreds of years.
