Learning and Teaching Pronunciation
19/5/2014
This book will help learners to understand what they need to know about pronunciation in order to teach it with enjoyment and confidence.The approach to learning is:
experiential-the learners will learn by experiencing the subject matter personally;
physically-pronunciation is physical activity;
insightful-the key is awareness rather than repetition;
quick-the learners will be delighted by what they can learn in a short time;
humanistic-it engages the curiosity of the learners;
lasing-after guided self-discovery,the learner will not forget it.
There are 88 discovery activities to experience directly how speech sounds are produced and clear descriptions.Moreover,there are 74 classroom activities offering an insight-based approach for students.
It is a great book, what did you think of the classroom activities - were there any that you would like to try in the classroom? Which ones, why?
