Research-Based Pronunciation Teaching: How and Why

This workshop focuses on five pedagogical responsibilities of all pronunciation teachers: (1) selecting the pronunciation features to be taught; (2) implementing a pronunciation diagnostic; (3) teaching age-appropriate knowledge about phonetics, including phonetic symbols; (4) using pronunciation activities throughout all language classes; and (5) supporting learners’ pronunciation strategies and skills outside of class. The presenter will summarize current research and suggest ways to fulfill each responsibility efficiently and confidently. Participants will share challenges in pronunciation teaching.
