Integrating Pronunciation into our Daily Practice
It seems quite paradoxical that while most EFL teachers seem to enjoy pronunciation, this area has been dubbed the “Cinderella” area of foreign language teaching (Kelly, 1969). Be it lack of time, a self-perception of a lack of formal knowledge, or a pressing syllabus, most teachers seem to shy away from systematically tackling pronunciation teaching. In this workshop we aim at outlining general approaches to the teaching of pronunciation as well as exploring a number of ideas that could easily be implemented in a variety of contexts. If you want to get your hands on practical activities, share some good practice with colleagues and walk away with a broader toolbox for teaching pronunciation, then come and join us for APRIR’s kick-off event.
