pronunciation of ´because ´

Dear colleagues;
I need a clarification with the pronunciation of ´because ´. Is it /bikoz/ or /bikaz/?Sometimes we are in conflict with other English Teachers in the school. Especially native speakers could you please tell me which one is correct? Thanks:) |

because
/bə ´kɔ:z/ , /bɪ ´kɒz/
From Oxford dictionary, so both are correct. jejeje Native speakers acquire English language from their parents and of course in a specific place so, on the north of England exist a kind of palatalization that there isn ´t on the south so, why argue about a pronunciation, that ´s the richness of English.
Tell me about it!!!!!! I ´m Spanish
