The information and communication technology has opened new avenues to learn correct pronunciation through ICT approach. The ICT brought a paradigm shift in language teaching and learning, especially in teaching and learning of English pronunciation skills. The traditional way of teaching-learning of pronunciation has a lot of limitations in learning. The traditional or non-ICT based teaching is most of the time teacher-lead and teacher-dependent without proper individual attention to the needs of the learners in crowded heterogeneous classrooms. In such a scenario, ICT-based language learning is a means to the existing problem. This paper brings out the issues of incorrect pronunciation among the Indian students and their ways of overcoming incorrect pronunciation. Then it introduces the communicative framework of pronunciation teaching for effective learning. It also brings out the contrast between the traditional way of teaching-learning pronunciation and ICT-based modern, effective, and learner centered teaching and learning of pronunciation through online. This paper also shares the results of ICT-based pronunciation learning. Finally, it also discusses the impact of learning through ICT.
