Résumé :	This research aims at investigating the attitudes of learners towards word stress and the problems they face in the use of stress at the word level. It is believed that appropriate use of word stress enhances learner’s pronunciation and their intelligibility. The study suggests that learners of English in the department of English at Constantine 1 University are aware of the importance of word stress yet; most of them face many difficulties; as far as the appropriate use of stress at the word level. That is to say their awareness is not reflected in their performance. We hypothesized that if English learners have sufficient background knowledge about stress; they can examine it they would be able to avoid the most problematic stress patterns. In order to test the hypothesis, we used a questionnaire and a test. On one hand, the questionnaire was administered to Master I Applied Language studies students to examine their attitudes towards word stress and its relation with intelligibility. On the other hand, the test is a second research tool that evaluates student’s errors and difficulties. The results obtained from the questionnaire and the test confirmed our hypothesis, based on their responses word stress is problematic area for the majority of the students
