The English pronunciation of the students of Assamese medium school is comparatively poor and the students hesitate to speak out aloud English words. This study will try to find out the causes and the remedial measures for the problems. Due to the paucity of adequate trained English teachers in the Assamese medium schools of Assam is one of the prime causes of the students’ poor English pronunciation. Here, we will find out the phonetics issues of relating the English pronunciation of Assamese spoken students. The purpose of my study is to determine the most commonly mispronounced words by Assamese EFL learners and the estimated reasons for the errors
