Ever since American English was introduced in the First National Curriculum, it has been ‘the English model' in English classes as well as social practices in Korean context. It is still the case even in the age of English as an international language. The present study focuses on the Korean college students of English, one of the key stakeholders, and examines how they perceive learning English for international communication, pronunciation in particular. It also aims at identifying their problems and concerns with acquiring English pronunciation. Three hundred and ten Korean college students participated in the questionnaire survey. The results showed that the Korean students lack confidence in their own pronunciation and the major issues in learning pronunciation include the lack of pronunciation instruction, grammar and reading-focused English classes and some teachers’ poor English pronunciation. It was suggested that teacher education program needs to be developed to build confidence and promote an ownership of English among the Korean teachers and learners of English.
