Abstract

This article explores the key pronunciation differences between General American (GA) and Received Pronunciation (RP), the two most influential standard accents in the English-speaking world. The research discusses vowel and consonant variations, stress patterns, rhoticity, and intonation features that distinguish American and British pronunciation norms. Understanding these differences is crucial for English language learners, as accent awareness improves listening comprehension, speaking skills, and communicative effectiveness. The article also highlights pedagogical implications for language teachers.
