IDEAS FOR IMPROVING LEARNERS’ PRONUNCIATION
— imitation of teacher or recorded model of sounds, words and sentences
recording of learner speech, contrasted with native model
— systematic explanation and instruction (including details of the structure and
movement of parts of the mouth)
— imitation drills: repetition of sounds, words and sentences
— choral repetition of drills
— varied repetition of drills (varied speed, volume, mood)
— learning and performing dialogues (as with drills, using choral work, and varied speed, volume, mood)
— learning by heart of sentences, rhymes, jingles
— jazz chants
— tongue twisters
— self-correction through listening to recordings of own speech
