This paper aims at investigating the kinds of strategies deployed by advanced EFL learners at English Language Teaching Department to learn or improve English pronunciation and revealing whether there are any significant differences between the strategies of successful pronunciation learners and those of unsuccessful pronunciation learners. After reviewing the studies done on pronunciation-learning strategies, it defines the concept of a pronunciation learning strategy, presents how several researchers identify pronunciation learning strategies, and displays the results of a research study.
