Re: [wordsurfing] The teaching of pronunciation in ELT

Hi,
A very good question indeed Marcus. Normally we don't discuss on this topic as
we assumed that the English pronunciation varies from one mother tongue to
another. It is very difficult to pronounce a perfect English word especially if
you are an Asian who always live in your own country. We tried our best to speak
and pronounce the English as clear and perfect as possible to the original sound
but there are a lot of shortcomings to fully understand on how to deal with this
issue. I really like to hear from anyone of you.

Regards,
Delinnia

Hi all!

Does anyone out there agree that pronunciation "is often left to the wayside of
our teaching" (Ciancio, 2002)? And, if so, why does that happen? And how should
pronunciation be taught?

Any ideas on this?

Thanks ,

Marcus Murilo.
