Along this, researcher had to find out teachers‟ attitudes and perspectives about students‟ dialectal sounds. To do that a questionnaire was made for college teachers. However, all the findings show that teachers are not aware of students‟ dialectal sounds. They believed dialectal sound affect English language teaching but they did not take any sufficient steps to overcome this problem. Students themselves are not very aware about the influence of dialectal sounds in their speech. The researcher finds out possible suggestions and recommendations for this problem through collecting data from English teachers. However, the researcher hopes that this study would help English teachers and also EFL learners to find their problems and take positive and effective actions for solving them.
