Bringing Pronunciation Into Every Class
This document provides guidance on bringing pronunciation into English language classes. It discusses the importance of pronunciation for student confidence and outlines some key pronunciation features to address, such as intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accents. The document recommends focusing first on suprasegmentals like stress, rhythm, intonation, and linking as these provide the most benefit. It provides techniques for practicing suprasegmentals like using rubber bands to mark stress or dots and lines on words. General classroom techniques are also outlined, such as having students listen before seeing text, linking words, and correcting pronunciation "on the fly" with modeling.

Teaching Vowel Pronunciation
The document discusses various methods for teaching vowel pronunciation to English language learners, including feeling throat vibrations, shaping mouth positions, using minimal pairs that differ by one vowel sound, recording and comparing pronunciations, using mirrors to observe mouth movements, teaching phonetic symbols, showing vowel diagrams, singing, tongue twisters, rhymes, and games involving reversing words or circling words by pronunciation. The goal is to help learners distinguish vowel sounds and improve their production through multisensory activities.
