The present study aims to investigate some difficulties that Persian EFL learners may have in producing some English consonant clusters orally. Since consonant clusters in a language comply with its underlying phonological rules, or more specifically underlying syllabic structure, it seems to be quite relevant to deal with the syllabic structural rules of first and second languages. It could be hypothesized that learners when facing such structural unfamiliarities resort to their native language phonological rules. By taking contrastive analysis hypothesis (CAH) into account, we could get a clearer vision partly towards the difficulties to reject or confirm the hypothesis.
