The purpose of this paper is to explore the correlation between the pronunciation of Standard
Second (English) Language and ESL (English as a second language) learner’s dialect impact
on their pronunciation. The study delves into the impact of dialect on the spoken English of
Bangladeshi ESL (English as a second language) learners, particularly in the speaking
component. The aim is to ascertain the extent to which the dialectic influence affects the
proficiency of ESL learners in spoken English. The paper examines various factors that
contribute to the dialectic impact, including cultural and social influences, and proposes
strategies to mitigate the effects of dialect on spoken English proficiency. The researcher who
conducted the study selected a diverse group of participants for the research paper, all of
whom were professionals with a graduate degree. The data collection process involved the
use of qualitative research methods, as the paper required an in-depth interview session with
the participants’ audio recordings for data analysis. The researcher aimed to furnish an
extensive and detailed understanding of the subject matter through the use of these methods.
