This paper presents a subset of findings from a European-wide, on-line survey of English pronunciation teaching
practices (EPTiES). Quantitative and qualitative data from seven countries (Finland, France, Germany, Macedonia,
Poland, Spain and Switzerland) are presented, focusing on teachers' comments about the training they received to
teach English pronunciation, about what they do inside the classroom and about what happens outside the classroom in terms of students' exposure to English. The results of EPTiES and of follow-up interviews reveal interesting
phenomena across Europe. Most of the teacher-respondents were non-native speakers of English and felt they had
little or no training in how to teach pronunciation, which raises the question of how teachers are coping with this key
aspect of language teaching. Differences between countries are explored, especially via replies to open-ended
questions and relevant contextual factors (e.g. language policy) allowing a more nuanced picture to emerge for each
country. Suggestions are made for improving teacher training and for further research.
