Resumo: | The present study aimed at investigating students’ perceptions about the study of pronunciation and the comprehensibility of their speech. Twenty-four English-speaking Brazilians at the advanced level or higher had audio recordings of their sentences judged by four English speakers from different nationalities representing the three circles in Kachru’s World Englishes Model (1985). Comprehensibility, accentedness, number of mispronunciations at the segmental level (such as palatalization, voicing, devoicing, epenthesis), native language of the judge, and perceptions about the study of pronunciation were tabulated and compared quantitatively and qualitatively. Results indicated positive correlations among better compreensibility, less accentedness and fewer mispronunciations at the segmental level; and, between comprehensibility and the desire for specific knowledge regarding pronunciation. |

Vinte e quatro brasileiros falantes de inglês com nível mínimo de proficiência geral avançado tiveram gravações de áudio de suas falas julgadas por quatro juízes. Os dados de compreensibilidade, percepção de sotaque pelos juízes, quantidade de desvios de pronúncia no nível segmental, língua nativa do juiz, e percepções discentes sobre o estudo da pronúncia foram tabulados e comparados quantitativa e qualitativamente. Os resultados indicaram relações positivas entre compreensibilidade, sotaque e desvios e entre compreensibilidade e desejo por um conhecimento mais específico sobre pronúncia.
