Introduction to Teaching Pronunciation UCI Extension TEFL Programs TEFL Workshop June 27, 2012 Marla Yoshida

What do you need to know when you teach pronunciation? You need to know about pronunciation. You need to understand the problems your students might have. You need to know how to teach these things to your students and help them practice effectively.

The Articulatory System 1.Lips 2.Teeth 3.Tongue 4.Alveolar ridge (tooth ridge/gum ridge) 5.Hard palate 6.Soft palate (velum) 7.Nasal passage 8.Jaw 9.Vocal cords 10.Trachea (wind pipe)

Consonants: Voicing Place of Articulation Manner of Articulation

Vowels: Tongue position Lip rounding Tense vs. lax Simple vowels, glided vowels, and diphthongs

How can we teach pronunciation effectively? We need to do more than simply teach rules and use mechanical drills. Individual sounds vs. the musical aspects of pronunciation (Intonation, stress, rhythm) Simple repetition is fine, but we also need meaningful or communicative activities Use a wide range of techniques and activities.

Pronunciation practice activities

Pronunciation practice activities: Info gap

Visual: Let students see how to pronounce sounds through pictures and diagrams demonstrations (live/on video) models (like giant teeth) phonemic alphabets colors to represent sounds Multisensory reinforcement techniques

Auditory: Use the sense of hearing. Choral and individual repetition Memory pegs: an image or phrase connected to the sound

Multisensory reinforcement techniques Tactile: Use the sense of touch. Stretch rubber bands to represent word stress. A feather shows aspiration of stops. Hand on throat to feel the vibration of the vocal cords Play a kazoo to feel intonation patterns

Marsha Chan: Using Your Hands to Teach Pronunciation Millicent Alexander: Pronouncercizing Multisensory reinforcement techniques Kinesthetic: Hand and body movements to help learners understand how pronunciation works. Body movements can be used to represent sounds and suprasegmental features.

Drama Techniques Plays, skits, role plays, puppets Many students feel more comfortable trying out new sounds or intonation patterns when they’re pretending to be someone else.

Students watch a video clip, then practice the dialog, trying to sound exactly like the characters. Shadowing and Mirroring Beast:Belle, / are you / happy here with me? Belle:Yes. Beast:What is it? Belle:If only I could see my father again, / just for a moment. // I miss him so much!

Use your imagination to find new ways to teach pronunciation communicatively and effectively. For more ideas and tutorials on teaching pronunciation:

Try using games that get students to speak freely. (“Lace” them with sounds you want to practice.”) Pronunciation games for fluency

Using authentic materials Songs Poetry, rhymes, and chants Advertisements, menus, and pictures Cartoons Magazines and newspapers Video clips from movies, TV programs, YouTube, or other online sources Stories, plays, and other literature
