Phonetic competence is a key component of communicative competence and plays a crucial role in learners’ ability to produce comprehensible, intelligible, and contextually appropriate spoken English. The development of phonetic competence depends on multiple linguistic, psychological, technological, and pedagogical factors. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of these factors based on theoretical research and a small-scale methodological study. A detailed literature review highlights the contributions of foreign and Russian scholars in the field. The methodological section describes the design, participants, instruments, and instructional procedures in detail, while a structured table outlines the major influencing factors. Each factor is further explored in text form with scholarly interpretation.
