Edited version for hyejeoung kim's part
Students who feel included, safe, and able to collaborate are more willing to speak out and listen to others. Representing different cultures and allowing each student's voice to be heard encourages participation. Pronunciation is an important part of language learning but often overlooked; teachers need training in phonetics and strategies for teaching pronunciation. Approaches like comparing sounds to students' native languages and communicative tasks help students practice problematic sounds. Slang, idioms, and colloquialisms are common in informal English but difficult for ESL students; keeping a vocabulary log can help students understand contexts of use.
