For a long time, the teaching of the pronunciation of English as a foreign language has been marginalized f rom the Applied Linguistic agenda. However, driven by globalization and technological advances, pronunciation has retaken its place, as it constitutes the central focus of oral speech. To ensure effective communication, L2 pronunciation instruction has become an indispensable requirement. The pur-pose of this paper is to verify the extent to which L2 speech in English, produced by Argentine speakers with different levels of proficiency, affects the perceived com-prehensibility of Brazilian listeners. In addition, this paper seeks to determine the degree to which pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and discourse are related to the construct of comprehensibility. A group of Brazilian listeners assessed speech samples f rom Argentine speakers with different levels of linguistic competence in English, and subsequently identified the linguistic factors that had influenced their perception of comprehensibility. Significant differences among the productions of the speakers, as well as correlations between comprehensibility and pronunciation were found. Finally, some pedagogical implications are discussed and new lines of research are offered.
