          Teaching Pronunciation

           

           

          When to Teach Pronunciation?

          • Whole lessons
          • Pieces
          • Integrated phases
          • When the opportunity arises

           

          Pronunciation at the Suprasegmental Level 

          • Clarity, speed, loudness, breathing, fluency
          • Intonation
          • Stress and rhythm at the word and sentence level

           

          Pronunciation at the Segmental Level

          • Consonant substitution, omission, articulation, clusters, and linking
          • Vowel substitution, articulation, length, reduction, and linking

           

          Principles for Teaching Pronunciation

          • Foster intelligibility during spontaneous speech
          • Avoid the teaching of individual sounds in isolation
          • Provide feedback on learner progress
          • Realize that ultimately it is the learner who is in control of changes in pronunciation 

           

          Some Techniques to Teach Pronunciation

          • Contextualized minimal pairs 
          • Gadgets and props (rubber bands, balls, etc.)
          • Slow motion speaking
          • Tracking
          • Drama techniques
