Description This study concerns the English pronunciation of Slovak speakers who took B1 and B2 English maturita examination levels (subjects). The theoretical part of the article introduces pronunciation assessment and objectives. Considerable attention is devoted to what L2 learners should have mastered at various levels according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, Maturita pronunciation criteria, and PET and FCE Cambridge ESOL certificates. The experimental part concerns the pronunciation performance of the subjects. Therefore, spontaneous two-minute recordings where each subject delivered their utterance were obtained. Subsequently, three English native speakers were asked to rate their pronunciation on a scale of one to five (1 = poor pronunciation, 5 = excellent pronunciation). Finally, a comparison between the pronunciation assessment of B1 and B2 maturita students was made and conclusions were drawn.
