Designing pronunciation instruction for a
specific group of learners
- When the instructor has the opportunity and flexibility to tailor
instruction to a specific group of Learners, there are some steps
to guide the teacher of pronunciation.
- Step one: find out who your learner's are and
what they need
- Step two: find language that is relevant to your
learners to use as practice material
- Step three: use these samples of authentic language to illustrate
and practice specific pronunciation features
- Step four: provide frequent and sustained choral repetition
with body movement
- Step five: give learners a chance to practice similar language in
less-control activities
- Step six: record learner's speech for feedback
and review
- Diagnostic evaluation
- Diagnostic evaluation of pronunciation is a
means of determining a learner's level of
proficiency usually for the purposes of
screening or placement
- Diagnostic tests of listening discrimination should test
learner's ability to distinguish both segmental and
suprasegmental features
- Consonants and Vowels
- the teacher can use minimal pair
discrimination exercises

correct stress patterns for words or sentences
in a text being read aloud

final rising or falling intonation the learner could be asked to identify
