Default Better ways to teach pronunciation.

'lo fellow forum users,

Please help me to find ways to better inform myself about how I can teach pronunciation more effectively.

As an English pronunciation teacher I observe many acquirers/learners with good English grammar, reading and writing skills. Sadly, their English pronunciation is often not listener-friendly enough to keep American native speakers engaged in conversation.

I want to find ways to better help them to acquire more listener-friendly pronunciation in the classroom, to develop more confidence and motivation, and get out and converse much more with native speakers, where the greatest second language acquisition occurs.

Where might I look for a “supercharged immersion boot camp” situation where they might acquire listener-friendly pronunciation faster then usual?

Tyvm for your help.

kind regards,


elbe
