How to Teach Pronunciation: Getting StartedJudy Thompson
We asked hundreds of ESL/EFL teachers, "If I could wave a magic wand and fix one thing to help you teach Pronunciation - what would it be?" The number one answer was - How do I start? I created a webinar to answer this great question (link to recording of the webinar http://bit.ly/1SW62M7) and these are the slides from that webinar.
Strategies for listening and speaking for beginnersSumi Waan
This document outlines strategies for teaching listening and speaking skills to beginner language learners. It recommends using Total Physical Response (TPR) techniques like commands that require physical responses, as well as games that encourage describing objects and asking questions. Songs are suggested to help students learn pronunciation and vocabulary. Specific activities proposed include information gap activities, opinion sharing, role-playing, games, and everyday classroom interactions. The document provides tips for teacher speech like using clear instructions and limiting jargon, as well as keeping sentences short and simple for young learners. Other techniques mentioned are allowing group work, using teaching materials, storytelling, poetry, and listening to music.
The document provides activities for teaching grammar and summarizes a poem. It includes 3 activities:
1) Identifying personal pronouns, nouns, and verbs in a song lyrics.
2) Having advanced students identify tenses in a short story about Cinderella.
3) Identifying verbs, nouns, and pronouns in a poem about enjoying school.
Task-based language learning involves presenting students with meaningful tasks to complete rather than focusing on language structures. A task requires students to use language to arrive at an outcome and engages cognitive processing. Effective tasks mirror real-world activities like talking to a doctor. This approach motivates students and gives them confidence to use the language. It also exposes them to a variety of natural language through collaboration. Teachers take on roles like preparing students and raising consciousness of language used. Students work in groups and provide feedback to one another, taking risks and innovating with language. While it can encourage ambitious language use, some students may rely too heavily on others and large classes present implementation challenges.
The document discusses assessing listening skills. It defines listening as an active process involving both linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge. Listening assessment is important because the act of listening cannot be observed. The document outlines different types of listening like intensive, extensive, selective, and responsive.
