Résumé :	Language mastery and pronunciation proficiency are closely related. However, it is noticed that the performance of third year students at the department of English contains pronunciation errors, especially; the pronunciation of the letter‘s’ and the combination ‘ss’. It is hypothesized that those errors are of an interlingual nature, due to the interference of the French graphemic rules. Moreover, it is assumed that students’ attitudes towards the English language learning, its native speakers, and culture, in addition to the amount of exposure to spoken English, have an impact on learners’ level of achievements in the area of pronunciation. To verify these hypotheses, a case study of 21, third year students is analysed. First, a test of two sections; one in English, the other in French, was given to the sample. The results obtained suggest that students’ failure in the English test is a result of negative transfer and lack of exposure. Second, in order to confirm the hypotheses, and to measure students’ degree of attitudes and exposure, a questionnaire has been administered to the same sample. Finally, since teachers represent a rich informative basis for gathering information about what really contributes to success in FL pronunciation learning, a questionnaire has been administered to 15 teachers at the University of Constantine, and Oum El Bouagui. The findings of the two questionnaires confirm the hypotheses that students tend to transfer from French to English, and that attitudes and exposure seem to contribute in pronunciation proficiency, to some extent. Eventually, on the light of the research findings, some suggestions are offered to enhance learners’ levels of pronunciation
