Abstract: This research aimed at developing a reliable scale to determine in-service language teachers’ perceptions about teaching pronunciation and contributing to the English Language Teaching (ELT) field. The participants of the study consisted of 132 English language instructors working in 42 secondary and high schools in the 2021 to 2022 academic year in North Cyprus. The conducted Exploratory Factor Analyses revealed that the scale consisted of five factors and 24 items. Besides that, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis results confirmed the 5-factor structure. Furthermore, it was proven that the whole scale and its sub-dimensions are highly reliable and suitable for the implementation in determining in-service language teachers’ perceptions of pronunciation teaching (χ 2 / df  = 1.314). It is believed that the newly developed scale would help researchers more reliably investigate perceptions of teaching pronunciation in various contexts.
