      Аннотация: This study investigated the strategies used in teaching English language pronunciation in secondary schools in Meru region, Eastern province of Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to: examine the kind of techniques and resources employed in the teaching of English language pronunciation, determine the factors that influence the choice and use of these techniques and resources, and determine their effectiveness on the pronunciation of the learners. The findings of the study showed that though teachers of English were aware of the pronunciation problems affecting them and their learners and were aware of the importance of the skill, there was very little they were able to do to improve the same. The study concluded that the available techniques and resources were not adequately utilized to develop desirable pronunciation in English language in secondary schools in Imenti North District and recommended that this skill be treated with more keen attention at all levels of education, since it is a key oral-aural aspect of language.
