This study explores 47 Taiwanese EFL undergraduates' self-correction of errors and strategies for pronunciation. Based on the data analysis of interview, videos, activity designs, and reflections, this study includes the following major findings. First, the major pronunciation problems that the participants identified were “linking” and “stress.” Second, the most popular self-correction techniques the participants employed were “watch the online pronunciation lessons” and “read aloud and practice the sound.” Moreover, the participants relied on multimedia to learn knowledge of specific pronunciation features. Suggestions for better self-correction in pronunciation are provided.
