Pronunciation is the bridge between you and a native English speaker. It is the first thing that anyone notices about you, when you start to speak. It connects you. Without clear pronunciation, messages can get lost or confused. The listener might even start to feel frustrated because they don't understand what is being said.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. Connected Speech
“a native speaker's aim in connecting words is maximum ease and efficiency
of tongue movement when getting our message across”
4. Weak Forms
There are a large number of words in English which can have a "full" form and
a "weak" form. This is because English is a stressed timed language, and
when we try to make the spaces between stressed syllables equal, so that we
can give the phrase rhythm, we tend to weaken or even remove
non-essential words.
5. 1. Notice how common the Schwa sound ə is…
I’ve got a new car
I’m not going to an old theatre
Me and you/him and her/this and that
This is from me and it’s for you
She told him that her house was bigger.
/ə/
/əm/ /m/
/ən/
/frəm/
/ə/ /hə/
They are all over there.
/ən/ /ən/
/fə/
/ɪm/
/ə/
/ən/
6. 2. Try these sentences to practice many different
weak forms.
Shall we go there for Christmas
we dropped them at the airport
It’s made of this not that
I just want some more that’s all
It’s not that I can, it’s that I must
/ʃəl/
/wɪ/
/ʤəs/
/ðət/
/əv/ /v/
/ðæs ʊl/
/ðət/
/ðəm/
/wɪ/
/səm/ /sm/
We should take her and go pay him a
visit
/wɪ/ /ʃəd/ /tek/ /ə/ /Ən/ /ɪm/ /ə/
7. Intrusion
When two words are said together, an extra sound is sometimes
placed between them in order to make them easier to say. When a
native speaker says ‘I am not happy’ there is an intrusive /j/ sound
between ‘I’ and ‘am’ which makes it easier to say the phrase quickly.
8. Intrusion
We use the sounds /j/ and /w/ to link a vowel sound at the end of
one word with a vowel sound at the beginning of the next word.
9. 1. If the first word ends with a vowel sound like /ɪ/ or
/i:/ and the next word begins with any vowel sound..
Me and you
See it
The egg
The angel
The implication
/j/
/j/
/j/
/j/
/j/
Then we add a /j/…
10. 2. If the first word ends with a vowel sound like /u:/ or the diphthong
/əʊ/ and the next word begins with any vowel sound..we add a /w/.
You and me
Two or three
Go away
Go on
To eat
Can you find five more infinitives (To…VERBS)which show
intrusion?
/w/
/w/
/w/
/w/
/w/
11. 3. PRACTICE GIVING DIRECTIONS…
Go out of the building
GO across the street
Go along the road
Go over the bridge
Go up the hill
Take the eighth street on the left and then stop at the eleventh
house…
/w/
/w/
/w/
/w/
/w/
/j/ /j/
12. 4. PRACTICE A CONVERSATION…
Can I do one?
here. I’ll give you one.
A nice one
A new one
A yellow one and a blue one
For you and you only.
/w/
/w/
/w/
/w/
/w/ /w/
/w/ /w/
13. Linking Words
When we write there are spaces between words, but when we speak we
often connect words together so that the sentence flows more easily
and/or quickly.
This is why it is important to learn chunks of words instead of just
individual words, because accurate pronunciation comes from knowing
how each word LINKS to every other word.
14. 1. Practice this poem…
Think it
Speak it
Write it
Read it
You know you really
Need it
15. 2. Practice this poem…
Work all day
Run away
Boss and me
Can’t agree
Fill a cup
Drink it up
Wait a while
Walk a mile
Meet at eight
Don’t be late!
16. 3. Practice this poem…
First you close it
The you lock it
Then you leave it
And put that key back in your
pocket
17. Mimicry
The biggest mistake in learning pronunciation is simply trying to read words
correctly from a page. The best practice is to MIMIC the sound, intonation,
speed, rhythm and expressions of native speakers. Don’t be shy!
18. Mimicry and Imitation
Muscle Memory
a) Moving the facial muscles is perhaps
the most important part of
pronunciation. Try the word THREE.
Notice how it has 3 main facial
positions.
b) Do you know the POSITION of the
mouth, lips, jaw and tongue for each
sound you make? This is what makes
perfect pronunciation.
Don’t just copy the words, copy the
face, the neck, the body language. Try
this with some famous movie lines…
Don’t just copy the words, copy the
face, the neck, the body language. Try

19. Can you mimic these
movie quotes?
Don’t just copy the sound, copy the intonation, the stress and the body
language too.
