QUOTE

A teacher is a

compass that

activates the magnets

of curiosity,

knowledge, and

wisdom in the pupils.

Helping learners hear and produce

The teachers should help their students to

pick up the sound system of the language by

listening to them. However, for speakers of a

second language to "hear" and say sounds in

the language they are learning.

Providing feedback

Providing feedback to the student regarding his or

her work with you is the most powerful teaching

tool you have in the pronunciation. It is also the

area most commonly cited as lacking when

students can not pronunciation.

Example : Quizzes and tests can be prepared by

using text, graphics, video and audio materials.

These quizzes are graded automatically.

BUILDING AWARENESS AND CONCERN

The students need recognize the message

of a word, the pitch of voice can affect

this.

The teachers should make students aware

of the available resources to send a spoken

message.

STABLISH PRIORITIES

Some areas of pronunciation may be much more

important than others in the classroom if one

considers errors that directly affect learners’

intelligibility so we as teacher have to take as a

priority to that student that is not learning in the same

ways us others. Therefore we can focus more in that

student and ask the other student help the one is

learning less. The most important thing is that we

have to search the best technique for teaching that

student

We can use to increase their pronunciation by listen to

music , videos, stories. etc

PLANNING VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES

Teachers plan for different reasons;

1) To satisfy immediate psychological needs, such as

increasing one’s sense of security, reoccurring anxiety.

2) to prepare themselves and materials for instruction.

3) to create a framework that will guide the interactive phase

of instruction.

4) Some teachers plan because they are required by

administrators to submit written plans on a regular basis.

1:- In general the best way to improve

pronunciation is to speak English daily and to

find opportunities to be exposed to the

language as much as possible.

The sounds of the English language

can be written down using the

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)

which is used in all Longman

dictionaries. Use of minimal pair

perception exercises (ship/sheep, ten

/then) helps students learn the sounds

of English.

3. -Tasks like reading aloud allow

students to concentrate on

pronunciation skills too.

The first step in any successful

pronunciation lesson is to give your

students the opportunity to imitate.

Most often, you will be the model that

your students will copy, but you can

also use other sources.

Another interesting technique is useful to

make contrast sounds by presenting minimal

pairs.

Speech processing is one of the

largest growing research areas in

signal processing.

Each year billions of pounds are

being spent on supporting research in

speech processing.

By making comparisons with the nearest

sound in the student`s native language.

Perhaps the greatest difference between

English and Spanish is that Spanish has

only five vowel sounds while English has

more than 14, depending on regional

dialects. This is the reason Spanish

speakers have difficulty differentiating

between vowel phonemes in words like seat

and sit.

The students must practice the

pronunciation the same way that

another skills, pronunciation must be

integrated to communicative language

work.

For a learner it need to practice and repeat

as many times they can by using different

techniques to increase their a fluently

pronunciation.

Give short but regular bursts of treatment but regularly for

teaching the pronunciation according the student´s necessities

something like the follow examples.

Vowel Length

Mouth Positions

Practice Listening

Write Tongue Twisters

Feedback

Bring students gradually from controlled cognitively

performance to automatic performance.

Teachers of students learning English should be

aware that the goal of improving pronunciation for

many learners is mutual intelligibility, not perfection.

When the students say something, use that student

as a model and encourage everyone to listen careful.
