The widespread use of English around the world has changed its status from being a language spoken by some powerful countries to language used by a large number of non-native speakers around the world (Llurda, 2004). In recent years, the total number of non-native English language teachers is greater than the English language teachers whose native language is English. Therefore, to study English as an International Language (EIL) from the perspective of government school English teachers, whose native language is not English, is essential. This research paper investigates the attitudes and perceptions of government school English teachers in Pakistan regarding pronunciation in English as an international language (EIL). A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected from 28 government school teachers through online questionnaires. Data obtained through online questionnaires from high school English teachers revealed that English has always been considered the correct standard for English Language Teaching (ELT). The findings suggest that participants perceive English as an international language as a language easily understood by everyone and are using it for various communicative purposes. They are open to and embrace all varieties of English and demonstrate adaptability and flexibility in their behavior and speech when interacting with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Findings revealed insights into teachers' attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to pronunciation teaching
