Teaching Pronunciation introduces the formal analysis of phonetics and phonology along with techniques for incorporating these into practical classroom instruction. This course places an emphasis on problem-solving strategies using data from many languages and contexts, and on effective techniques for instruction. The main project for this course involves working with a non-native English speaker to identify and address pronunciation issues relevant to the learner’s needs. Explanations and descriptions of techniques to improve pronunciation and activities to teach proper formation of consonants, vowels, and diphthongs will be given. Practice with connected speech, word/sentence stress, and intonation patterns will be emphasized through drama related activities. Also included are issues of first language interference and the design and implementation of lessons and curricula
