Students’ autonomous learning of English pronunciation plays an important role in students’ acquisition of English pronunciation. This paper intends to demonstrate, through an empirical investigation, how the establishment of a pronunciation center can facilitate business English major students’ autonomous learning. The result shows that the implementation of the pronunciation center not only increases students’ interest and confidence in learning English pronunciation, but also promotes students’ self-reflection and enhances the interaction, negotiation and cooperation between teachers and students, which surely help the students achieve the sustainability of their autonomous learning of English pronunciation.
